When I ordered this book I was hoping to find actual floral arrangement diagrams for a wedding, and while the book is nice, and the illustrations are pretty, they weren't very resourceful for someone who is looking to create they own floral arrangements. The content, instructions, etc. just are not there. If you want to look at some pretty pictures to get ideas for decorating, or to take to a seasoned florist, it may be useful, but this is not a how-to book. This book would be better suited to a person who is looking for new ideas, but who already has a background in floral arranging. To say the least I was very dissappointed.
