Bridal Flowers : Arrangements for a Perfect Wedding

Rating:
Summary: Her ideas are classic, yet fresh
Review: As a professional bridal consultant, I keep an extensive library of wedding related books on hand to help my brides design their own weddings. Ms. McBride's Bridal Flowers is one of my favorites. It is full of wonderful ideas - not just the traditional "must have" wedding flowers such as bouquets & boutonnieres, but the out-of-the-ordinary (but inspiring) boas, decorated lampposts & gilded calla lilies. Ms. McBride shows that flowers are for more than just being carried or worn. The large color photos are fantastic. So many other books have little or no photos, or hand drawn diagrams that leaves the reader wondering. Ms. McBride's book lets you see exactly what she is talking about. It doesn't claim to be a how-to book, but perfect to take along when visiting your floral designer.

Summary: I use this in my bridal consultations all the time!
Review: I bought Ms. Mellinger's book on The Perfect Wedding also, and totally adored it. While the pictures in this book are as beautiful as those in her other book, it seemed to me that they were not as "90's". I bought this book specifically for flower arrangement ideas, but I ended up marking off most of my idea pictures from her other book. Still, it is comprehensive, and covers flowers for the ceremony, reception, and for the wedding party. A good deal for the price

Summary: good decorating ideas, but no bouquet ideas
Review: This book was not very helpful to me. It had some good ideas for decorating, but what I was wanting was a book to give me ideas for different brides maids and bridal bouquets. It did not give any ideas as far as different flowers for different arrangements. It is a good book if all you are looking for is a book to give you decorating ideas. Not different flower ideas.
