Flower arranging has never been simpler or more enticing. The women behind Studio Choo, the hottest floral design studio in the country, have created a flower-arranging bible for today's aesthetic. Filled with an array of stunning, easy-to-find flowers, it features 400 photos, more than 40 step-by-step instructions, and useful tips throughout.

The arrangements run the gamut of styles and techniques: some are wild and some are structured; some are time-intensive and some are astonishingly simple. Each one is paired with a "flower recipe"; ingredients lists specify the type and quantity of blooms needed; clear instructions detail each step; and hundreds of photos show how to place every stem. Readers will learn how to work with a single variety of flower to great effect, and to create vases overflowing with layered blooms. To top it off, the book is packed with ideas for unexpected vessels, seasonal buying guides, a source directory, a flower care primer, and all the design techniques readers need to know.

Alethea Harampolis and Jill Rizzo are the founders of Studio Choo, a San Francisco-based floral design studio that serves up fresh, wild, and sophisticated flower arrangements for any occasion. Their work has been featured in publications such as Sunset, Food & Wine, and Veranda and in the blog Design*Sponge.

Waste of money

8 August 2017 - Published on Amazon.com

This book gets two stars for all the pretty pictures. There is very little instruction. The "ingredients" (flowers) are, for the most part, extremely uncommon and would be impossible to find even if you had access to an amazing floral wholesaler. You won't be able to go to your local store and pick up some smoke bush, an olive branch, and some flowering oregano. You might be able to fine one or two flowers from each "recipe" but you wouldn't be able to find the other eight. I think it would be all but impossible to recreate any of the beautiful arrangements even if you tried to run out and find some nasturtium vines, stems of yarrow, echinacea pods, scabiosa and a handful of astrantia. Those are all from one recipe and every single one is like that. The book shows off a huge variety of rarely seen flowers. Now I am off to look for stems of hebe, branches of snowberry and stems of cyclamen.

Easy to understand, Save $$ by making our own arrangements.

5 January 2015 - Published on Amazon.com

I LOVE this book, like a old friend.

1. Everything is numbered the steps and the recipes themselves. For instance: Recipe 3 Special Occasion, Step 1. Makes things move so much faster when you don't have to skim a paragraph to find where you were when interrupted. I do this myself with my baking recipes- I put tasks in numerical order.

2. So easy to follow. It's like flower arranging for dummies but without the stupid title. For instance this is the 1st task of a Recipe is "place the maple branch on the right side of the pitcher so that the leaves hang over the rim." See? I dare you try to find a way to do that wrong.

3. It looks nice so you can leave it out. I, personally, do not like ugly things laying out or even using them. Maybe I'm picky-but imagine this look on a side table versus "Whatever for Dummies" with its bright yellow and black colors.

4. The design inside is as nice as it is outside.

What would have made me LOVE this book like a lover would be:

1. Simple Illustrations. But only when necessary (not necessary in most cases)

2. Suggest substitutions for hard to find or very $$$ flowers. I just made some substitutions on the fly because the none of the 100 or so types of flowers my farmers market has were "celosia" not the "crested variety" or the "plume variety."

-
Practical- I did recipe 3, it turned out beautiful I think except I wasn't sure of the height requirements on the last five or so flowers. I spent $40. for all of the flowers. I had to buy more than I needed-so maybe it won't always be that much.

I live by amazon reviews and I am so bad to leave them. I would more reviews if I thought they would be helpful so if this let me know.

Disappointing

31 October 2018 - Published on Amazon.com

Granted, I am coming off a floral high from spending a full week with Kiana Underwood's Color Me Floral, which would more properly be titled Floral Nirvana. Every arrangement in that book is lush and gorgeous and heavenly. I never wanted to put it down. So, after that, I came to The Flower Recipe Book. It was a disappointment. Most of the featured flowers come with a simple arrangement and a "special occasion" arrangement. The simple arrangement is quite literally a few blooms of the featured flowers stuck in a vessel with nothing else. I don't need a book to help me do that. The aesthetic of the book is definitely rustic, not elegant rustic, but rusted-tin-can rustic. In fact, the rusted tin can seems to be a favorite vessel for the authors. The rest of the vessels are equally unappealing. Could they not have found even one pretty (not necessarily pricey) glass vase? And, no, the science beaker doesn't count. I will say that the arrangements in this book are much more doable than Kiana Underwood's, but then her book is more about inspiration than how-to. If you like rustic, and want some ideas for easy-ish arrangements, then you will be happy with this book. But if you want a lift to your spirit, a glimpse of something heavenly, this book is not that.

Outstanding book

12 April 2019 - Published on Amazon.com

This book is satisfyingly thick without weighing a ton, and begins with brief discussions of your toolbox, proper techniques for preparing flowers, and (my favorite feature) an "ingredient chart" indicating the many functions of different plant types in an arrangement, such as focal flower or "bits". The book presents 43 varieties of flowers, a plethora of containers, and multitudes of design arrangements. It includes your typical florist flowers, of course, but also many unusual ones, as well as other plant species. Examples include vegetables, pomegranates, thistles, cherry tomatoes, acorns, artichokes, herbs, green chestnuts, sugared grapes, fall leaves, berries from shrubs, succulents, viburnum berries, fruit, and eucalyptus. Containers include common and uncommon vases, such as cans, jars, and ceramics; but also boxes; shallow dishes; a galvanized metal 3-tiered shop tray; log slices; teapots and pitchers; test tubes; trophies; milk jugs and buckets; baskets; wreaths, leis, and bouquets. Plant sources are presented by type in alphabetical order, and paired with other plants that will work well with them. In addition to the full-page color photos, the arrangements are presented in recipe format: so many branches of this and so many stalks of that, as well as suggestions for a small selection of suitable containers. The only way to go wrong is to not have the listed plant sources or container options. I found the arrangements to be artistic, innovative, creative, novel, colorful, and beautiful. There are so many gorgeous arrangements from which to choose to photograph that it's hard to begin. I would definitely recommend this book to whomever has a garden big enough to actually make the flower arrangements, or to whomever is an avid armchair gardener. This book rates 10⭐️
