Elle Decor editor at large, Carlos Mota, celebrated the launch of his new book, "Flowers Chic and Cheap," this past Tuesday at Valentino. Vibrant bouquets of flowers lined the room, placing an even larger emphasis on the book's fabulous content. -
Carlos Mota is a treasure hunter--one who is innovative. In his book regarding "arrangements with flowers from the market or backyard," Carlos provides readers with interesting ways to form beautiful flower arrangements from close-to-home items.
From reused paint cans, to salsa jars, to vintage teapots-- Carlos has used them all.
Carlos signed copies of his newest book for a range of socialites and fashion gurus. Kate Schelter, Kelly Bensimon, Bonnie Morrison, and Amanda Hearst were just a few guests who snagged copies of the book.
