Product Description
Celebration. A time when friends and family come together in a breathtakingly beautiful setting to rejoice in one of life’s milestones: a wedding, a birthday, an anniversary. Collected in this book are dozens of the most recent, most extraordinary celebrations created by the unparalleled event planner Preston Bailey. These are events shaped by Bailey’s use of myriad elements, especially his extraordinary work with flowers, but also including architecture, set design, furniture making, lighting and art installations, and even tableware and textile design. In the first half of this visually spectacular book, arranged thematically to give hundreds of design possibilities to the reader, Bailey lays out the key elements to successful celebrations, including the importance of making a single dramatic statement, the elements of table settings, the impact of the ceremony space, the magic of tents, and the power of details. In the second half of the book, Bailey presents the best of his most recent work, exceptional parties shown in their entirety. The reader will find innumerable inspirations for planning a breathtaking, unforgettable event.

5 out of 5 stars Mr Fabulous does it again...   November 3, 2009

Being a designer that always works with flowers for my clients and loving theatrics however it comes, this is a book that will show you how the other half lives and how a great talent can express the client's fantasies. Bravo!


3 out of 5 stars Over-the-top!   October 27, 2009

Good photography and interesting and diverse events were showcased in this book. But the over-the-top nature was just vulgar. Too much! A flower encased chair? Come on! The excessiveness was old fashioned and not in keeping with a slightly more modern, simpler aesthetic that may truly reflect on our times. However, all in all I did not regret this purchase and Preston Bailey is still one of my favorite event designers.
