Decorating with Flowers: A Stunning Ideas Book for all Occasions

This book introduces you to amazing Filipino artists and their wonderful ideas for decorating already-impressive Filipino homes. It is almost an art book, quite pretty and very well-photographed. The pages are gorgeous, showcasing homes in the Philippines decorated for special occasions with a profusion of flowers. There are a variety of styles, ranging from ultra-modern to Romantic to tropical and many others. As an idea book, it is a bit overwhelming, but readers will appreciate the artistry involved to incorporate flowers and plants into an existing design style. Designs include large arrangements such as bouquets, or massive cascades of greenery and flowers dripping over the edges of tables or gushing out of vases. Others are more understated, with a simple, single blossom in a bowl or a small bundle of flowers used as a placeholder. Some arrangements include glassware or candles; others incorporate modern art or a sleeker palette to emphasize unique color combinations. Many of these ideas are truly made for special occasions, but readers will enjoy adding some elements found here to their own spaces.
