Includes index.

"This beautiful book by a leading florist is a complete guide to creating innovative flower designs for any occasion or setting. Create anything from a Heavily Scented Arrangement or an Aurum Lily Vase from fresh flowers, to a Bride's Victorian Posy or a striking Flower Cone with dried ones. Whatever the occasion, you will find something to arrange for yourself or to take to a wedding, anniversary or a Christmas celebration. Then there is the accompanying foliage - from rich, dark, waxy vine leaves and spiky blue-green grasses to snarled tree bark and soft, damp moss: these form the perfect backdrop for stunning designs. The section on Fresh Flowers features designs using old-fashioned garden roses, stylish candle decorations, scented pomanders and baskets of wild berries and harvest fruits. The Dried Flower section has striking winter table hangings and contemporary arrangements using dried fruit and sea shells. In Flowers for Special Occasions, there are fabulous gifts using both fresh and dried flowers to present at christenings, Easter, anniversaries, birthdays, Christmas and weddings. There is advice on equipment, harvesting flowers, seasonal availability, wiring, containers, calculating quantities, and sources of materials"--Provided by publisher.
