Summary: Excellent how-to information, but not too creative
Comment: The title of this book would lead one to believe that it gives how-to information for new, fresh, creative bouquets and arrangements. While the instructions are thorough and clearly written, the arrangements themselves are more traditional and "floristy" -- they use a lot of filler, and I think some of them look rather overdone.
The strength of this book is in the instructions. They are laid out step by step, with photographs of how to construct each arrangement. The book tells you exactly which tools you will need and how many flowers to buy. Even a beginner like myself would be able to create pretty good bouquets and arrangements with these directions.
I bought this book together with "Bouquets: A Year of Flowers for the Bride," which does have more creative ideas, but is weak on the instructional part. I recommend this combination of books to anyone like myself who is looking to make their own wedding flowers, but does not have experience in floral design. Both books have their weaknesses, but they complement each other and make up for each other.

Summary: Wonderful Book.............Ü
Comment: A few weeks ago I got myself in a jam. I agreed to help a friend of mine out with her bridal parties flowers not knowing the first thing on making a simple flower arrangement. I searched and searched the internet for step by step books that could help me out on creating floral arrangements but everytime I read the reviews it turned out that the title of the book had nothing to do with what the book was all about. Finally I pulled up Terry L. Rye's book it was a lifesaver. It was just what I needed. This book gives you step by step instructions from how to create a bouquet to creating floral head pieces for your brides maids. It's wonderful; I recommend it to anyone who's looking into creating their own wedding flowers. This book is definitely worth buying you will not be disappointed.

Summary: Good Basic, Traditional Design, How-To Book
Comment: From a bride who started by taking 2 years of design classes and creating her own bridal flowers to now a flourishing wedding floral business owner who creates custom wedding arrangements for brides all across the country, this book helped me get started. I review and purchase a lot of floral reference books for my design business, and when I started out, this was one of the better books I found on basic, traditional styles. The book is particularly helpful for the beginning designer as the clear photos and detailed, how-to steps are easy to follow. My only suggestion for improvement is to expand the book (or publish a second book) that lists advanced techniques and more contemporary, unique designs and florals/materials for the bride who desires something more unusual and creative. It's limited in the creativity it offers, but overall, it's one of the best BASIC books to reference and LEARN from. Good for beginners and floral students.
