Acclaimed florists Per Benjamin and
Max van de Sluis share their extensive knowledge in the field of floral
art in this voluminous recipe book. Step-by-step they create bouquets,
table decorations, arrangements with cut flowers and plants, wedding
flowers, sympathy pieces, festive Christmas decorations and other
impressive designs for the home.
This book compiles all eight volumes of the popular (and sold out) series Creativity with Flowers.
It covers a nice mix of commercial and artistic designs and caters both
to the hobbyist and the professional. In addition to the hundreds of
arrangements, both florists graciously grant us a peek behind the
scenes: they explain their way of working, sources of inspiration,
thought process and creativity to encourage the reader to do more than
merely copy their arrangements.
The ultimate goal of this book is
not only to provide the necessary tools and techniques, but also to give
florists the confidence to develop into artists with a personal style
and a unique artistic personality.
