Publisher Review

"The trend for flowers this spring is romantic, wild and free. In our May issue we feature the new book, 'In Full Flower: Inspired Designs by Floral's New Creatives' (Rizzoli, April 25), which highlights floral designers who are reinventing the way we enjoy flowers at home. The big idea is to be loose and organic, not fussy arrangements or uber-tight bunches of buds. What I really love about this trend is that it favors the enthusiast since the look is less polished and more natural." --Connecticut Post "Calling all non-traditionalists: The Ingalls' tome is a celebration of a new wave in contemporary floral design, featuring artists who combine traditional techniques with an organic, free-form style." --PureWow.com
