I have a friend who is getting married. She would like to use an
assortment of red flowers in her wedding decor. Your list of various red flowers
is very helpful, but can you also recommend a good, colorful book in addition to this
list?
Probably the best way to find what she's looking for is at the local
public library. There you and she should find a wide variety of picture
books, as well as informative handbooks, showing flowers, arrangement
styles, color combinations, etc. The library is great, because they
have very expensive books that most brides would never spend the money
to own forever, but you are able to use and enjoy them only for the time
that you need them.
A reasonable-sized retail bookstore will also carry a number of
different floral titles. Which are most useful depends on what you wish
to get out of the book. It's best to look through several and see what
seems to address your/her specific interests and needs.
However, one nice general interest book on flowers and flower
arrangement is the Reader's Digest Home Handbook of Flower Arranging.
It contains photos of specific flower varieties separated by season,
floral arrangement ideas and suggestions, floral arranging techniques,
as well as a broad text listing of flower varieties with information
about color ranges, seasonal availability, uses and specific arranging
needs. I bought this book a few years ago and find I refer to it quite
frequently.
Best wishes to you and to your friend.
