Paula Please Pause
2010/4/12
形式:ハードカバー|Amazonが確認した購入
I am Paula Pryke's number one fan. I have ordered several of her last books, well before the release date. I think this book is great. I love the way Paula breaks down the color groups, and lists the names of the flowers in the arrangements. This would be a great book to use as a reference for all occasions.The one thing I was greatly disappointed in this book was, the fact that so many of the pictures of arrangements have been in previous books of Paula's. May be it is due to the fact of have many of her books. "Please Paula Pause" and take more time to come out with a book that includes more new and fresh ideas.

Inspiring Floral Art
2010/6/6
形式:ハードカバー
Paula Pryke is widely considered to be one of the top floral designers in the U.K. and her design school in London attracts floral professionals from around the world who attend to learn from her. In Decorating with Flowers, her artistry is well displayed with gorgeous photography that clearly captures her expert use of color, shape and form.
While I don't think Decorating with Flowers shows forward movement in Pryke's style, the book is an excellent overview of the designer's work and, for those unfamiliar with her, a wonderful introduction to her innovative style. Pryke has a flair for using interesting containers and integrating materials not always seen but that are often readily available - and rarely outrageously priced. What really sets Pryke apart, though, is her expert use of color and her stunning combinations of flower shapes and textures. Both novice and seasoned designers will find inspiration here.
What novice designers will not find in Decorating with Flowers is much in the way of "how-to". The chapter on techniques did not impress me and I would suggest learning the basic and more advanced design techniques elsewhere. (Years ago, I found taking some hands-on classes with a variety of projects and personal attention worked far better for me than trying to learn from books.) Then, while practicing and perfecting skills, I would suggest returning to Decorating with Flowers and letting it serve as a source of great arrangements to emulate. There are so many beautiful designs to choose from in its pages!
Two additional notes:
- A number of other books on flower arranging in my collection are quite large. I really like the more compact size of this volume. While the pages themselves might be smaller, the photos are large and crisply detailed.
- I would have liked to have seen vastly expanded sections for napkin decorations and for boutonnieres. Honestly, I could use an entire book focusing solely on napkin decorations, boutonnieres and corsages. Please, Paula?
Recommended as a source of inspiration, but not as a how-to.

Lush photos but light on information
2010/8/4
形式:ハードカバー|Amazonが確認した購入
I bought this as a present for my mom, who knows quite a bit about arranging flowers but has never had any formal training, mainly to get some more tips about the subject. The actual printed information contained in the book is rather sparse, although it has some rather lovely photographs, and so this is a case where studying pictures is of more value than what the author has written. In this regard it is probably not the most practical guide to flower arranging, but the photographic quality would make it a good table book.
