Preston Bailey Flowers - Book Description:  Preston Bailey, one of the world’s preeminent floral and event designers, presents dozens of his most memorable arrangements. From one of the most renowned floral couturiers and event planners working today comes a rich presentation on the art of flower arranging perfect for home decoration and inspiration and of interest to professionals. In his first single-topic book, Preston Bailey shares his philosophy about flower design, walking the reader through the creation of his highly original floral centerpieces and other arrangements with advice on how to achieve the same results.

For each arrangement, Bailey discusses his inspiration and describes the type of flowers used, providing great detail on those he selects for the tables, both for the centerpieces and the place settings. He explains how the flowers influence the mood of each event, and illuminates the role that flowers play in the selection of lighting, table linens, and overall room decor. The arrangements vary from smaller groupings easily replicated at home, to the more elaborate works of art for which Bailey is renowned.
Appealing to both the amateur and the professional, Preston Bailey Flowers is an essential and unforgettable addition to the flower-design canon.

About My Fair Wedding the Book

David Tutera shares the inside scoop about the wedding featured on his WEtv show and offers guidance to brides for their own weddings.  From the book’s intro:

This book is another way for me to tell my brides’ stories and to reflect on all of their fabulous transformations. It’s also a practical guide for you to put your skills and creative minds to work. Each chapter has useful lessons and information for just about any element for any type of wedding, information that’s helpful even after the wedding too. Each chapter is about one couple’s wedding and includes my first impressions, two things I taught the bride (and hope to teach all the future brides who read this), a description of the revised wedding look, helpful lessons and questions you can ask yourself, and final thoughts from my featured bride.

There are no words to explain how touched I am to have been a part of each of the weddings I describe in these pages.  Working with these brides has even given me a new outlook on weddings. What I’ve learned is that every idea has the opportunity to blossom into something magical.

ABOUT Beautiful Bride from Every Angle: Look Great in Every Photo … and in Life!

On your wedding day you’ll likely be photographed more than at all your birthday parties, proms and graduations combined- even if your grandma was there! It may be the first time a professional photographer has followed you around for hours taking every photo imaginable.

Naturally, you’ll want to look your best in each of those photos.

This gorgeous, four color, hardbound  book  has 304 pages packed with great advice from three wedding pros- Barbara Wallace (Planner), Annie Withers (Stylist) and Lars Wanberg (Photographer). There are 340 amazing photos of beautiful weddings, practical techniques and insider tips which will make being a beautiful bride from every angle easier than you ever imagined.

You’ll get valuable info from three important angles:

•  The Wedding Planner gives you suggestions for making this important day in your life as calm and beautiful as possible.
•  The Fashion Stylist/Makeup Artist lets you in on beauty trade secrets, clothing that enhances the natural you and hints for developing your distinctive style.
• The Photographer, a former model, shares valuable tips and insider info from both sides of the camera including posing techniques, working the camera and awareness of the light.

You’ll use this information long after your wedding day.
