 good decorating ideas, but no bouquet ideas September 2, 1999
115 out of 117 found this review helpful
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.
 excellent from a photographer's standpoint May 27, 1999

Ms. McBride's style goes unsurpassed both in her presentation and the way her creative ideas together with an excellent photographer unfold. Move over Martha is what I have to say about this little gem. She is right on and I reccommend this book for anyone planning a wedding. Dont miss it. Nancy Cohn wedding photographer

This book offers the bride history behind customs along with fabulous photographs. I always let my brides peruse this book looking for new ideas. One bride absolutely adored the boa of astilbe and roses. It was perfect for her.

 Beautiful pictures, but hard to follow! January 26, 1999

As with her other books, Maria McBride-Mellinger has put together a series of charming and beautiful photos to draw ideas from. There is a lot of inspiration in this book, but little practical help. She often mentions techniques and flowers (especially flowers) that are unusual and are not showcased in her pictures. And not only are there no pictures, but the reader doesn't even get a clue as to what shape, color or size the flower is. The most noticible feature of this book, is the awful typesetting job that was done. Sentences get split between pages, and sections start at the end of a page. This isn't a problem in most books - however, in this book, there are 1-3 pages of pictures between almost every page. So you start to read a new section, have to flip through 2 pages of photos to finish the sentence, and then flip back to admire the flowers. With just a little foresight, this book could have been more neatly split up (none of the sections are that long), and it would have made for a much more enjoyable reading experience.
