From Booklist:
With the dramatically improved quality and seemingly infinite variety of realistic-looking silk flowers readily available today, stunning home accents that capture the beauty of an outdoor garden can be enjoyed indoors all year long. From luxurious Victorian-style topiaries to simple country baskets, there is a style of floral arrangement suitable for almost any decorating scheme. Until now, creating these sumptuous swags, captivating centerpieces, and romantic wreaths has been the purview of only the most accomplished florists. Rye, the owner of a fashionable Cincinnati flower shop, shares her professional expertise in this opulent how-to book that will have even tentative novices producing eye-catching designs. Seventeen projects, from window boxes bursting with faux spring bulbs to silver urns overflowing with majestic magnolia blossoms, are outlined in precise detail, supported by superb close-up photographs. Accompanied by comprehensive lists of tools and supplies, every procedure, from attaching foam bases to placing individual stems, is clearly explained. Although lavishly presented, Rye makes these awe-inspiring arrangements accessible to all. Carol Haggas
