Wedding book recommendations ?
Hi,
I want to treat myself to a floristry wedding book. There are lots on the internet but its hard to tell if they will be any good when they turn up. Want one that gives you a few technical tips and looking into the future, one I could show brides to be. Any recommendations appreciated.

Hi, I'd recommend a 'Paula Pryke' check out Amazon and see if you can get one preowned.

I agree with these guys. Paula Pryke is really classic and lovely. Not particularly 'radical', but tastefull.

Liz & Claire Cowling are very modern, intricate with lots of wire, inspired by the work of Moniek so similar styles.

My preference would be Paula, can't go wrong. Easy enough to replicate. The Cowling's work is quite labourious in my personal opinion, and not everyone 'gets it'! Bride's are more likely to want Pryke style than Cowling style I think.
