I would start with making the NFSC recipe and then deciding what kind of icing you want to try (RI, fondant, RBC).
Practice decorating them before you try to learn how to make the bouquets. I learned off of this site just by reading all the many suggestions on here and then just went for it.
I love the NFSC (no fail sugar cookie) with RBI (rolled buttercream) I go by the recipe except for one thing, if it says 1 tsp vanilla, I use 1/2 t. vanilla and 1/2 orange extract...in both the cookie and the RBI. But experiment and you will find what you prefer.
