Natural Flower Arranging

by Tricia Guild

All in color! Original, witty, and these designs bring new life to the art of flower arranging. 400 color photos show how an array of blooms, used naturally and spontaneously, are the loveliest, least expensive, and most renewable way to brighten any interior. Harmonize colors that have the same basic tones (such as yellow or orange), or boldly contrast striking magentas, pinks, and purples. Gleaming white arum lilies and tuberoses make a simple, strong display on their own, or they can tone down a more vibrant bunch. Use ferns and grasses; choose containers of glass, ceramic, or metalware that enhance flowers; and emphasize line, proportion, and scent. Whether you want a fragrant country garden in a basket or a centerpiece for a table, these arrangements will spruce up every room in the house! Trim 10 1/4 x 10.
