This book promotes a fresh approach to flower arranging which shows you how to combine flowers, berries, baskets and blooms to create a natural look. Over 100 quick and easy ideas are included, with step-by-step photography used throughout. While most books teach you how to create relatively formal displays, using cut-glass vases, oasis and wire, this book inspires readers to create a host of fresh and informal arrangements encapsulating the natural elegance of countrystyle. Using both fresh and some dried flowers, these range from gloriously quick and simple displays to more sophisticated arrangements for your home, and step-by-step instructions are provided for a few of the more complicated ideas. There are also sections on where to find your flowers, how to select the right container, and special occasions, including ideas for guest's bedrooms, summer supper parties and Christmas festivities.
