Product Review
For every bride (and her mother), The Knot Book of Wedding Flowers provides an invaluable and inspirational guide for planning a perfect storybook event--be it a private family affair or an all-out bash in a hotel ballroom. Author Carley Roney, editor-in-chief of The Knot online wedding planning site, which has branched out to offer this and other books (like The Knot's Complete Guide to Weddings in the Real World), provides extensive information, friendly advice, and helpful tips for brides of every budget. Special features of the book include beautifully illustrated glossaries of a wide variety of common wedding flowers as well as surveys of the various shapes and styles of bouquets, centerpieces, guest favors, and boutonnieres. How-to sections help the bride decide on her floral style and palette--deep red or purple flowers are popular modern choices, and of course all-white weddings remain perennially popular. Do-it-yourself instructions, clearly illustrated, help brides create their own flower decorations. And even brides with very deep pockets will appreciate the guide to choosing a florist, as well as the timeline planner and sample worksheets at the back of the book. Throughout, 150 glorious color photos seem practically fragrant. --Judy Fireman

Reader Reviews
I was hoping this book, since it focuses on flowers, would have pictures and small descriptions of most of the flowers a couple might choose for their wedding. However, this book is very limited in that regard. It's as if they settled on the top-seller flowers, put in a photo and description of those, and then threw the rest out. Because of that, this book was not very helpful to me. I went to see the florist a lot less informed then I thought I was, and ended up choosing several flowers that I didn't even know about because they're not in this book. The pictures are pretty, but way too much was left out for this book to be functional.
