This is a gorgeous coffee table book for aesthetic and conversation but it is also SO much more!!! There are step-by-step instructions for how to craft beautiful rustic-yet-elegant floral arrangements. Each has been carefully designed with the meaning of each botanical taken into account. To top it off the book features whimsical quotes, tips and tricks, and amazing photography. Highly recommend the Love Language of Flowers for all flower lovers!!!
