The book starts with the basics of flower arranging and ends with thematic designs for larger ceremonies and festivities. Clear step-by-step photos guide even the least experienced flower arranger or volunteer to a beautiful result. Included are inspiring flower recipes for weekly worship services, but also for special occasions like weddings, funerals and the big church festivals like Christmas, Easter etc. Moreover, this book not only contains flower arrangements in the typical traditional styles and colours, but also offers innovative designs in less obvious colours and with surprising flower combinations. Author Laura Iarocci shares the knowledge and experience she gained during her 16 years as ‘Flower Guild Chair’ of one of the largest cathedrals in the United States. Over the years she has brought together hundreds of volunteers in cathedrals and churches across the US. In Faith Flowers, she shares her triumphs and most beautiful creations.
Creativity with Flowers. A Collection of Floral Recipes
€65.00Acclaimed florists Per Benjamin (SE) and Max van de Sluis (NL) 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.
