Summary of A Master Guide to the Art of Floral Design
A Master Guide to the Art of Floral Design is a fresh new approach to an ancient art. Here is the foundation for a unique and comprehensive theory, one in which the flower itself is the ultimate teacher of color, form, composition, function, environment, and every other aspect of design. Exquisite photography and elegant illustrations combine with thoughtful, clear text to reveal the grace of flowers-first pictured alone in nature, and then beautifully arranged in designs reflecting both contemporary styles and the more traditional styles of the Far East and the West. Photographic inspiration is complemented by practical information, including discussion of the science of lighting, flower care, materials, containers, construction, and hand-tying techniques. The wide-ranging photo gallery of design examples demonstrates styles from simple to elaborate, in a variety of settings. Great ideas abound, from arrangements to suit casual everyday home decor to stunning examples perfect for intimate entertaining or the most lavish wedding. A visual delight grounded in practical understanding, A Master Guide to the Art of Floral Design is directed toward the advanced designer but is equally accessible to the beginner.Flower Arranging Books
