Market Wire, 20050229

From bouquets and boutonnieres to corsages and centerpieces, "The Knot Book of Wedding Flowers" (Chronicle Books, January 2003), the latest book from the leading wedding website, The Knot (OTC BB: KNOT) (www.theknot.com; AOL Keyword: weddings), takes brides on a walk through a garden of wedding flowers.

Featuring everything brides need to know about wedding flowers, this lavishly illustrated book includes over 175 pages filled with pictures of beautiful bouquets, centerpieces, and other arrangements, plus innovative ideas for floral accents and must-have planning information for wedding decor, including:

- 150 full-color photographs of beautiful bouquets, centerpieces, and boutonnieres - A-Z photographed glossary of the top 50 most popular wedding blooms - Four full wedding looks from star florists - Key advice on finding and working with a florist including contract and budget tips - Do-it-yourself floral projects - Detailed bouquet preservation guide

"Because brides dedicate almost 10% of their wedding budgets to flowers, they want the best flowers they can find, displayed in the most elegant way possible," says Carley Roney, author of "The Knot Book of Wedding Flowers." "We designed this book to give them fresh ideas and help them each step of the way, from deciding on a color palette to choosing a florist to preserving their bouquets."

"The Knot Book of Wedding Flowers" is the perfect engagement or shower gift for any bride -- one she will enjoy well beyond the wedding. Pair it with a floral arrangement or with the companion volume, "The Knot Book of Wedding Gowns" (Chronicle, January 2002), an elegant book that arms brides with essential information to know when shopping for a gown.

"The Knot Book of Wedding Flowers" retails for $29.95 and can be purchased in major bookstores nationwide and online at www.theknot.com.
