Hosting an elegant dinner party or casual affair for your friends? Inspire yourself with Bouquets: A Year of Flowers and Settings for the Table-a how-to guide for presenting a glorious table whether you are throwing a children's birthday party or hosting a home wedding. This delicious little volume is second in the series that Marsha Heckman began with Bouquets: A Year of Flowers for the Bride, now in its fourth printing.
Organized by season, Bouquets illustrates that making creative and exquisite party decor can be easier than you think. Heckman shows you how to use things that are readily accessible to personalize your occasion by melding beautiful flowers with nationally available retail items, party rentals, and your own everyday dishes, wedding china, inherited treasures, and flea market finds. A complete resource guide is included.
Bouquets presents 19 beautifully photographed table-tops-elegant tables for dining, theme tables for holiday parties, unique ideas for weddings in every season, and more casual table settings designed simply for fun. Celebrate Christmas with snowballs made of flowers, Fourth of July with a flag made of flowers, a Valentine's dinner party with vintage cards, a child's birthday with a delectably edible centerpiece, and Easter with a brunch table decorated with spring bulbs and homemade bird's eggs. Each table is magnificently accented with stunning centerpieces and includes simple instructions for arranging flowers at home.
Page after page of creative ideas will inspire you to make every dinner party and event in your home an unforgettable occasion with these gorgeous table-tops and centerpieces.
