Recenzii
An excellent guide to growing seasonal, eco-friendly flowers for that very special day. Newbery writes in a way that's both chatty and yet reassuringly authoritative, offering tips on everything from selecting the finest varieties to how best to avoid any Bridezilla-style meltdowns.
This book helps you every step of the way, from choosing, to planting, to cutting and arranging ... The photography is gorgeous and the real weddings featured are full of so much pretty.
It isn't just however, a book about how to grow flowers, with Georgie's extensive experience in wedding floristry she provides invaluable advice required to ensure every step of the process runs smoothly and is realistic with the challenges that can arise.
Daunting as such a task may seem, this book's delightful descriptions and photographs of seasonal flowers may convince any bride, groom, or parent-of-the-engaged to tackle the ambitious endeavor of growing flowers for a wedding.
Even experienced gardeners would find growing perfect flowers for a wedding daunting. There is a high chance you could find yourself weeping over a bed of wilting annuals a week before the big day. I am confident, however, that this book will get you through to the wedding with bucketsfull of blooms to show for your efforts.
As with her earlier volume, The Flower Farmer's Year - an indispensable guide to setting up a flower-growing business - the information is detailed, precise and easy to understand. The author shows how to sow, grow and arrange the entire floral display, down to the last stem.
To quote Georgie Newbery from the chapter relating to the use of flower food during preparations, 'You are looking for life, growth and a field of flowers in every posy dancing a celebration of your wedding day'. To me this sums up a key message from this wonderful book, that is to take another look at locally grown flowers and seriously consider growing your own, if the idea appeals to you then this book will be essential reading in order to achieve great results, providing you get your copy well in advance of the big day so you have time to follow the advice and guidance given by Georgie.
If you like a challenge and are prepared to follow some simple guidelines then it's possible to save a fortune both on wedding flowers and on air miles. You'll have the satisfaction of creating something really beautiful and personal for a very special day.
Should you buy this book? Well of course you should. There are only a handful of books worth buying on the subject of growing and cutting flowers and this is one of them.
Consider this book an investment if you have a wedding to plan for; otherwise, flower arrangers should draw inspiration from the suggestions in the book using wildflowers, hedgerow, cutting patch and what's in the garden already. I think this is a book that will be both a brilliant winter read and an excellent reference. I give it a big thumbs up and might just have to rethink my whole seed list for next year.
This book describes how to plant, harvest and arrange blooms to reflect your own sentiment and style. Georgie Newbery inspires any bride to turn her flower dreams into a beautiful reality.
As this inspiring book shows, a great deal of hard work and planning goes into growing beautiful flowers - and there's no one better to guide you through it than Georgie.
