Book review: Flowers Chic & Cheap

Normally when I get a book to review, I don’t always post about it because it doesn’t fit my audience, but I was pleasantly surprised at the new book by Elle Decor editor at large Carlos Mota, with Rita Konig and photos by William Waldron.  Its amazingly versatile with great tips on putting together arrangements with flowers from your own yard or market.  Beautifully styled and photographed, I could see so many of the ideas used for modern weddings!  Check it out at your bookstore if you get a chance…its a good one!

I especially liked these arrangements in coffee mugs with grass…why didn’t I think of that??
