In Herbal Weddings, author and photographer Laurel Graf has created a beautiful book filled with fascinating information on the use of herbs in a wedding celebration. The 144 page book is illustrated throughout with beautiful full-color photographs and covers topics such as the history of herbs for a wedding, the language of flowers, herbal bouquets and decorations, and how-to information for many herbal projects including bouquets, favors, and gifts. The use of herbs for a wedding has become so popular, many florists are now getting regular requests from their clients to include herbs in the bridal bouquet and other decorations. Herbs such as lavender and rosemary are widely available through a florist, but the book also contains information on growing some of the lesser known wedding herbs such as Meadowsweet (Queen Elizabeth I favored this flowering herb with the scent of vanilla).Herbal Weddings features herbal crafts, floral arrangements, and delicious recipes, all portrayed in beautiful color photographs.
