Flower arranging & floral crafts; Weddings, wedding planners

“Flowers are love’s truest language”: so wrote journalist Park Benjamin in the 19th century. The sentiment remains just as compelling today. As every bride-to-be knows, the right flowers are a fundamental expression of the perfect wedding.

But brides are often flummoxed when it comes to the specifics of realizing a beautiful and personal floral vision. Should the arrangements be lushly romantic or sleekly understated? Which flowers are best for the season when the wedding will take place—and for its setting? How much should you spend on flowers? (Where should you splurge and where can you cut back?) How do you go about choosing and working with a professional florist? Do you dare to try to make your own wedding bouquets?

These are just a sampling of the questions that Karen Bussen, one of the country’s top wedding experts, addresses in Simple Stunning Wedding Flowers, the gloriously illustrated follow-up to her essential wedding-planning book, Simple Stunning Weddings. As always, Bussen offers advice that’s as down-to-earth as it is aesthetically fresh and inspired. And her guiding principles—that “less is more,” and that breathtaking elegance is achievable on any budget—are sure to calm an overwhelmed bride’s frazzled nerves.

Reviews for Simple Stunning Weddings Flowers

From the reviews: <p> The research work of the author and his colleagues at the Center of Applied Space Technology and Microgravity, University of Bremen, considers the behavior of fluids in a low-gravity environment with special emphasis on application in PMD (propellant management device) systems. a ] The experimental results are presented for a wide range of parameters, and a one-dimensional theory is corroborated by the experiments. a ] It is very well written research monograph, which should be of considerable value to the scientists working in this field. (Jagdish Prakash, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1115 (17), 2007) <p> A compendium that would be particularly helpful to a person new to the field. a ] An attractive feature of the book is the inclusion of summaries a ] . The book should be of interest to specialists in fluid management systems design for low gravity. a ] For the nonspecialist the book gives a good glimpse into how results from experiments, analysis, and computation can combine to provide information and insight into low-gravity fluid flow, on which engineering designs can be based.
