Veranda The Romance of Flowers

The obviously gorgeous book that is PACKED with gorgeous inspirational photographs of floral arrangements in all kinds of interiors and situations = in other words full focus on flowers! What is fascinating.. you will never look at the flowers the same way ever again! It throws you a curve, to push further! It shows you the way of simple approach that has fabulous refreshing effect on the concept of cut flowers in the vase. I absolutely love it! After all it is VERANDA, if you are familiar with their covers you know that they are demanding attention because of their perfection, beauty and elegance. This book is just another example of the VERANDA approach. I highly recommend it because EVEN if you will never make one single arrangement based on this book, even if you are allergic to flowers and never buy them, even if you just don't buy flowers for any reason. period. This book will let you suck up the beauty of flowers in gorgeous settings without guilt or breaking budget. It is very relaxing way to spend some free moment or collect your thoughts if you had a hard day, or just need a moment to detach from the reality and immerse yourself with something else. It is like a mini yoga for your mind.. without a mat. Did I mention how gorgeous it looks nonchalantly placed about the house? :).

This is a gorgeous book that is full of inspiration for extraordinary flower arrangements. I have purchased all the other Veranda large design books and was always disappointed with the quality of the printing. This book's quality, however, is superb and every page is gorgeous. I especially like that the arrangements include so many natural elements as well and don't seem overly engineered. It will make you so happy to turn each page.

viewing the gorgeous flowers and learning about their history and importance provided an escape from monotony of staying at home

My sister lives in BC Canada and I live in Kentucky. She always sends me pictures on Snapchat of flowers around her area when she’s taking a walk. With the pic of the flower she always writes “You’re my favorite flower”! One day, she was getting her hair done and saw this book in the waiting room and commented on how much she wanted it. I was really happy to find that Amazon had it so I purchased it and sent it to her( but not before fully enjoying the BEAUTIFUL pictures inside the book myself!) She absolutely loved it!! Beautifully done photographs, vibrant colorful pictures and text!!

Great book but it arrived torn up

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. This book presents glorious arrangements to be sure. What this book also does is present the magnificence and variety of flowers through stunning photography.

This compilation of exquisite florals, is a visual delight from beginning to end. Each photograph would make a Dutch painter jealous in it's composition and capture. A masterpiece! Anthony Romeo Aiardo Artist, Muralist, Designer

Great quality, beautifully done.

The book was a bit bigger than I anticipated, but it is in excellent condition. A tiny tear in the sleeve, but not bad for 2nd hand at all; I just put a bit of tape ion to secure it from expanding and it's good as gold. I am enjoying the book as a lovely read for a quiet afternoon, and it also gives me ideas for my own floral photography. It's a nice coffee table type book to buy on a whim and just enjoy after a long busy day at a demanding job.

Fabulous book, very inspirational and full of the most wonderful high quality photography. Beautifully presented with good editor, this makes for an excellent present or treat for yourself, once opened you never get tired of it, it seems every time you look at it you notice something new and inspirational.

Gorgeous coffee table book full of inspiration and brilliant photography .Perfect for a dreary winter's afternoon !

A must for all flower llovers

Beautiful book.
