How this flower arranging journal grows your skills

Each arrangement record captures the vase and style, each flower with its color, number of stems and role, a six color palette, the mechanics behind it, a big space for a photo or sketch, a ten day vase life tracker and what you'd do differently. The design basics page describes five arrangement shapes and what every stem does, while the color wheel lets you settle on a palette before you buy.

Bit by bit, these pages turn into a personal handbook of the blooms, vessels and bouquet recipes that suit you best.
