Long lasting Found in Flanders Having been involved from the get go with this book we waited nervously for it to arrive from the publishers on our doorstep. It arrived last week and we have to say it’s gratifying; all our expectations have been fulfilled. Its lovely Caringly edited by An Theunynck who made creative decisions and artistic waves through many of Stichting Kunstboek publications you might well have, has brought together a talented group of designers we know, Moniek Vanden Berghe, Geert Pattyn, Ivan Poelman Gudrun Cotteneir and some we will take note of from this moment on Lieve Buysse and a new comer n the floral designers world Michel Mulleneers. The concept of the book was to show long lasting flowers at their best, flowers which are not silk, not paper not chemically saturated and colored but AVALANE flowers. In Japan thanks to the involvement of Daniel Ost and choice of them in much of his work, and the sensitivity of Japanese to nature, they have them named ice flowers which already evokes a kind of fragile special ness about them. Delicate they are but their long lasting character ensures that there initial beauty. (.look at the water lilies, they are gorgeous) and anything made with them will last longer. Hence the title of the book, Long lasting Beauty. The Six designers show their work and include comments on the use of these flowers, why they like them, when they do use and would use them, share tips they discovered working with them and most importantly of all say why they like them. Chapeau as they say in Belgium or hats off as the English say to Frans Moens the man behind the flowers and years of research to get the standard and variety he has done .He works closely with designers to provide and get things just right and is known to make all kinds of out of the ordinary calls to bring just the right shade of a lily or a leaf to a panicking florist! This book is going to make it in spades! We are not biased. just book savvy and experienced. Its got all it takes, a good clean contemporary well balanced layout, a new sophisticated product on the market and good designers who show you what can be done for long lasting beauty.

As the title suggests this is a book full of Sweet wedding bouquets. Being a Japanese publication the title maybe a little sticky for those outside of Japan where often the conotation of the word sweet, runs from visions of childlike sweetness to over sweet meringue confections in flowers.This book defies either of these descriptions but instead, includes all a Florist dreams about making.

With flowers that look as if they have just been picked from a wildflower corner of the woods to resplendant roses and lillies , the sweetness lies more in the purity of flowers for a Bride.

Here you will find refined and soft bouquets, gentle and almost shy bouquets while the brighter more daring ones are also on show.

Sweet Weddings selection can answer any Brides dreams and guide any Florists in their eternal search for inspiration

With colour coded categories one can easily skip the pinks and yellows examples and go directly to the blue or white or myriad of warmer colours quickly. Having the book arrangemed like this can be a good starting place in the first conversations between Florist and Bride when often a Bride (and her mother )know what they dont want but not sure of what they do.

Smallish and semi hardcovered it is a book to peruse, use,refer too and work from. It comes from Japaneses highly respected Mami Floral Design School..

Wedding Stories Found in Greece Oh no, not another wedding book we both thought as we unpacked it. But to our surprise this isn’t just another of those hundreds of humdrum ones out there. This is and interesting publication with great underlying concept with lofty sponsorship which will set the book on the road to success. It covers not only Robert Koenes wedding flowers, but also his Companionable event organizers, their trimmings from sugared sweets to cakes and canapés, models, perfect wedding settings and Smithers Oasis practical design aids. From knife to cold glue in the Mediterranean! A huge plus is that when you watch the DVD that accompanies the book, which highlights Koenes work. The sunlight romantic sunsets and breezes of Greece make you feel as if you were a guest at all six weddings yourself. Koene lives and works in Greece and the clue to this package is the happy marriage of him and his professional partners collaboration and presentation. Its an exuberant bright contemporary publication and as the title suggests a collection of Wedding Stories. Country wedding island wedding, luxurious wedding, they are all there and three more too. Every wedding is of course different and every one, (again buzzing about the DVD,) is shown on the extras section of the DVD, where we see Robert making step by step some of his special pieces This is a good buy for concept, presentation, the exotic images, and of course his Dutch meets Greek meets floristry perspective, in hindsight it’s a short trip to Greece for viewers with flowers and event ideas aplenty. A stay at home travelers treat.
