Book Reviews of To Have & To Hold: Magical Wedding Bouquets
Book Review: Modern, beautiful bouquets
Summary: 5 Stars
I had absolutely no idea what type of flowers I wanted or really what type of flowers were available for bouquets when I started planning my wedding. So I went to the library and checked out a bunch of books on bouquets and wedding flowers. Most of them were terrible. They showed either ugly bouquets from the 1980s or the traditional red rose bouquet. To Have and to Hold was very helpful in providing ideas on not only specific flowers for wedding bouquets, but also different flower combinations and beautiful stem wraps.
The book has full page color picture of dozens of bouquets, divided by season. There is a wide variety of colors and styles to satisfy almost anyone. To Have and To Hold also provides interesting twists on bouquets like adding berries, feathers, or holding a small book with a flower as a bookmark. Along with pictures of bouquets it also shows how to incorporate some of the flowers into other parts of the wedding (boutonnieres, flower girls, and cake toppers). The pictures have captions that provide the flower names and sometimes descripitions of flower variations and when the best seasons are for the specific flowers which is really helpful.
Being the typical bride, I have looked into what seems like an unending list of different wedding books, and I have found To Have and To Hold to be the most helpful flower book I have found. Great book!!
