About this title

Review:

Jane Packer has run a successful London floral design business for years, and in 1986 was commissioned to create the floral arrangements for Sarah Ferguson's wedding to Prince Andrew. In Fast Flower Arranging, she shares 120 arrangements that each take no more than three simple steps to complete. These are bright, modern arrangement--lively and informal yet sophisticated, many of them can be done in five minutes with fairly inexpensive materials. Two sections at the end of the book show how "special effect" holiday table arrangements can be created, and how to dress up gifts uniquely using flowers. It's the perfect flower-arranging book for people with a funky vase collection and a predilection for bright colour.
