3 Stars Less Is More
Ignore all the negative reviews. The beauty of this DVD is it’s simplicity. For the beginner, there are a lot great ideas. Just be open to them. If you ever wondered what to do with those clear rectangular glass vases: Voila! Peter Grotas is a professional. He’s a top New York City floral designer. It actually does show how to make a mixed bouquet in one of the segments. I don’t even remember any flute playing!?!
1 Star Flower Styling for playschoolers
This dvd is so redundant! They show you how to create virtually the same hand tied bouquet of one flower FIVE times…just different flowers. Or how to float flower heads in a vase, like we need a demo shown several times just because they are using different types of flowers! Cut the rose head off and float it in water. Next demo: Cut the orchid head and float it in water. Next Demo: cut the daisy head and float it in water… Ugh!~ Chances are, if you are interested enough in getting this dvd…you probably are already more advanced than this “how-to” expects you to be.
3 Stars OK but not great
I was looking for a DVD on the basics of flower arranging for our Ladies Group. This was the most affordable. We realize there is a lot to know about flowers. This DVD did cover some very basic material such as how to cut the flowers, how to keep them fresh and so forth. The arrangers utilized a very formal style of arrangment; we would have preferred some casual arrangements and bouquets also.
However, the cheesy flute music, which - if they felt compelled to have it in the background at all, at least keep it soft - was way too loud and extremely distracting. If there had been more information on arranging mixed flower arrangements of various shapes and colors instead of just the one pink arrangement, we would have liked it much better. Also the sound quality in general was not good. We had to turn it all the way up and still couldn’t hear it very well.
5 Stars From I can’t do this to yes, I can.
I have always thought that flower arranging could only be done successfully by those gifted individuals with God-given imaginations and talent. This video convinced me, she who has never arranged a flower in her life, that I can do this. The viewers are treated to simple, yet stunning arrangements that anyone can do. I also learned how to care for fresh flowers so that they look good for days. A very good video for beginners or anyone who enjoys simple, yet beautiful arrangements.
1 Star Terrible DVD
This DVD is not professional, also I was expecting instructions on how to make arrangements. This DVD spends most of its time on care of fresh flowers and ideas for simple flower bouquets not basic techniques for floral arrangements. I was very disappointed.

5 Stars European Flower Arranging at its Best!!
I never thought that I could watch an instructional DVD and so quickly be able to make hand ties as if I was a professional florist. Such wonderful European style flower designs and so easy to follow. Joanna is fun to watch and the outcome is Amazing.
5 Stars An incredibly refreshing approach
A plethora of fresh ideas is what makes this DVD inviting and inspiring. How fun it is, not having to conform to the conventional techniques of flower arrangements! I guess it is the European/British style of Joanna that flavors them and spices them up for us Americans.
The DVD is presented in a creatively original way, making it fun to watch, easy to follow and best of all, the results are spectacular and very professional. What a treat! I am buying another one for my florist friend this Christmas
