 Preston Bailey's Design for Entertaining: Inspiration for Creating the Party of Your Dreams August 2, 2005

Gread ideas book - wonderful, stimulating pictures. Interesting reading - provides what I would term an overview of how to achieve a good design for an event. It is NOT a how to book however and there realy are no specifics on creating a specific look.
 Inspiring but unpractical January 8, 2005

I bought this book as I was curious about Mr. Bailey's designs since his name is synonymous with "one of the top floral designers in NY". His work is truly very inspiring and grand, however, the scale (and imaginably the cost involved) to re-create the floral arrangements he showcased in this book is unpractical for the average wedding or party.
To be fair, I guess I was looking for party-related floral ideas that are creative but more budget-friendly and this book was too over the top for me.
Great ideas and pictures... October 22, 2004

I love this book. The themes and pictures are great. I just think it's more for the higher end crowd.

The photography is gorgeous, the ideas are inspiring - overall, a solid portfolio of some of the best designing in the world. It not only provides a glimpse into the over-the-top world of haute couture weddings and fetes, but also provides details and inspirational ideas for anyone. A can-do attitude combined with a book that is well written, beautifully conceived and flawlessly executed. Well done, Mr. Bailey.
Fabulous! February 28, 2003

It was exactly as it said...a resource for creating the party of your dreams. If you're the type of person who thinks buffalo wings is a party staple...it's not for you.
