From the authors of Wedding Showers and Baby Showers, this stylish book of ideas takes a truly modern approach to planning and hosting celebrations in the home. Illustrated throughout with gorgeous full-colour photography and filled with practical planning advice, simple recipes, quick and easy decorating ideas, and sidebars offering shortcuts and splurges, Spontaneous Celebrations is an indispensable guide for the busy host. In contrast to the spare arrangements of high-fashion floral designers, Flowers for the Table is a lavishly illustrated guide to creating lush table arrangements. Organized by season, author Ariella Chezar shows how to use readily available materials to fashion eclectic centerpieces out of branches, fruits, flowers, and flea market treasures. Full-colour photographs, an introduction to each season and the flowers and greenery available, a glossary for each section, and countless tips make this the ultimate guide to making gorgeous table arrangements.
