Illustrated with color photographs on almost every page. Derek Bridges has been involved in the world of flower arranging for more than twenty years and is famous for witty, entertaining demonstrations in which he amazes audiences with his deft, apparently effortless transformation of a bunch of flowers into an arrangement of breathtaking ingenuity and beauty. Here he reveals the secrets of his skill covering every aspect of the flower arranger's art from simple displays of spring or wild flowers to arrangements of hothouse blooms for grand occasions. The novice will find all the basic information needed - from the tools of the trade and the basic principles of design to what flowers to grow or buy, what containers to choose as well as a section on drying and preserving. The author then goes on to demonstrate a series of arrangements for all seasons and occasions - from posies for a country cottage to elaborate set pieces for a stately home, flowers for a church or cathedral, party pieces for Christmas, and how to use flowers, foliage, fruits, berries, even vegetables, in garlands, swags and collages as well as arrangements. And, finally, for the really confident, Derek offers invaluable advice on preparing for shows and competitions.
