Judith Blacklock is delighted to bring you this practical yet
inspirational book offering 67 step-by-step floral designs that are

This book is for everyone who loves flowers and wants to take on a
wedding for themselves, a family member or a friend. I like to
think I have explained the techniques and skills that will be
needed using language that is easy to understand, equipment that is
easy to source and flowers that, on the whole, won't cost a
fortune. Many of the designs, particularly in section one - Flowers
for the Venue - can be arranged for other special occasions such as
anniversaries. I have used a star system for each step-by-step
design. With regard to the skills required, one star means that the
design is straightforward, two that it's a little more difficult
and three that you will really have to concentrate. As for the
mechanics, the stars refer to how easy it is to find the equipment
to recreate a similar display. I have tried to keep the components
as simple as possible, but remember - with the internet, most
things are readily available these days. The images in the book
have been created by me and my team at the Flower School, together
with my teachers, former students and friends in the business. Many
of my students have returned to their homes in different parts of
the world and gone on to create bridal work second to none.
Arranging flowers for a wedding is bound to be stressful, because
they have to be perfect, but when the day is over the feeling of
achievement and fulfilment is incredible and you will be all set
for the next one. Be sure to take photographs so you can remind
yourself just how well you have done. Judith Blacklock
