First published in 1997 and now available in paperback, Festive Flowers offers the reader a glimpse into the genius of Pryke's amazing arrangements. All celebrations–from weddings, to Christmas, to romantic events–call for flowers. Over sixty of Pryke's designs are photographed here. The flower arrangements take all forms: wreaths; table arrangements; corsages; garlands; and hanging bouquets that can be made at home with a minimum of skill. Twenty of these projects are detailed in a step-by-step format to allow anyone to recreate these designs while allowing for the addition of personal touches along the way. The author also provides tips and anecdotes gleaned from her vast experience.

Beautiful creative ideas!
This book is packed with gorgeous, lush photos of creative floral arrangements. Absolutely beautiful, unique ideas with easily understood directions and pointers. A great buy!

Absolutely Beautiful
I first purchased this book while taking a course in floral design. The book was passed around the classroom with everyone doings ooooohs and aaaaahs. Even if you are not a floral designer, but simply a person who enjoys flowers or you want to have a spectacular looking party or wedding, this book is for you!

Breathtaking!
This is a book for flower fanatics at all levels. The arrangements highlighted in this book range from contemporary and sleek to out and out exquisite. The photography is superb and the colors of the flowers jump off the page - you can almost smell the roses and lilies! I will definitely be looking at more of Paula Pryke's books.
