Artisan Floral Design for Weddings and Events in Tuscany
A Floral Workshop in Florence Since 1995
I'm Ezio De Angelis. I've been working with flowers in Florence since 1995, creating bespoke floral designs for weddings, elopements and events throughout Tuscany. Every project begins with a conversation and takes shape around the people, the setting, the season and the atmosphere they want to create. I work by appointment, developing each project individually from my floral workshop in Florence.
The Intentional Floral Beauty Method
Thirty years of working with flowers have taught me that floral design begins with listening. I want to understand the people, the venue, the atmosphere they want to create and the way the event will be experienced.
From there, I develop a floral project in which flowers, colours, proportions, season and setting work together. Every choice has a reason and is considered in relation to the place and the occasion.
On the day of the event, I coordinate the work and my team according to the needs of the project, so that what we have planned together is realised as intended.
The result is not simply decoration, but a floral design created specifically for the people, the place and the moment.
A Craft Workshop in Florence Since 1995
I've been working with flowers in Florence since 1995. From my workshop, I create bespoke floral designs and over the years I've worked in more than fifty venues across Tuscany — from Chianti to the Val d'Orcia, from the Maremma to the Valdinievole. My way of working has remained the same: listening, bespoke design and a deep knowledge of flowers, seasonality and the setting of each event.
The workshop operates by appointment, and every project begins with a conversation, often followed by a site visit when needed. I first want to understand the people, the venue, the atmosphere they want to create and the practical needs of the event. From that conversation, the floral design takes shape and, when we're ready to move forward, I prepare a bespoke proposal.
What can I do for your wedding or event in Tuscany?
Every project begins with a direct conversation and is carefully followed from the initial design through to its realisation, coordinating the work and my team according to the needs of each event. These are the contexts where I work best.
Weddings in Tuscany
I design bespoke floral arrangements for weddings in historic villas, medieval castles,
farmhouse estates and country houses. I've worked across the Chianti, Val d'Orcia, Siena area,Mugello and many other parts of Tuscany. Every wedding starts with listening: who you are,
where you're celebrating, what feeling you want to leave with the people who love you.
Elopements in Tuscany
Elopements are some of my favourite projects: they allow for absolute attention to detail and a
very direct relationship with the couple. I often work in natural settings — olive groves, hilltops,
medieval villages, Italian-style gardens — alongside photographers and planners who specialise in intimate ceremonies.
Venues I've Worked in Across Tuscany
Over the years I've worked in more than fifty of Tuscany's most sought-after wedding venues: Medici villas, medieval castles, Chianti wine estates, Val d'Orcia farmhouses, hilltop residences overlooking Siena. Every venue has its own light, architecture and character — and every floral design starts from that specific conversation between flowers and space.
Wedding in a villa in Chianti – floral arrangements in dusty tones inspired by the landscape.
Corporate gala dinner in Florence – essential floral decor for a historic hall.
Symbolic ceremony among olive trees in the Tuscan countryside – seasonal flowers in white and green.
Stories and Ideas from the Blog
On the blog, I share stories from weddings and events, experiences in venues across Tuscany, practical guides to choosing flowers and understanding seasonality, and reflections on the work of a floral designer. It’s a space for couples, wedding planners and professionals who want to understand more about the flowers, the places and the choices behind a floral design.
Let's Talk About Your Project
If you're planning a wedding, an elopement or an event in Tuscany and are looking for a floral design created around the setting, the season and the atmosphere you want to create, tell me about your project.
The first step is a conversation: tell me the date, the venue, what you need and what you imagine for the day. From there, we can understand how to develop the floral design and, when we're ready to move forward, I can prepare a bespoke proposal.

Frequently asked questions
How far in advance should I contact a floral designer for my wedding in Tuscany?
There is no fixed rule. Availability depends on the date, the type of floral design and the organisation required. I recommend getting in touch as soon as you have set the date and, if possible, chosen the venue, but there is no minimum notice period. If your date is approaching, feel free to contact me anyway: if I am available and there is enough time to develop the project properly, we can decide together how to proceed.
How much does wedding floral design cost in Tuscany?
There is no fixed price, because every wedding is different. The cost depends on the venue, the season, the choice and quantity of flowers, the number of floral elements, logistics and the complexity of the installation. Discussing the budget from the beginning allows me to understand your priorities and develop a realistic project. The enquiry form includes some indicative budget ranges as a starting point; when there are the right conditions to proceed, I prepare a bespoke proposal.
How does the process work from the first contact to the event?
The first step is a conversation: you tell me the date, the venue, your requirements and the atmosphere you would like to create. From there, I begin developing the project and, when useful, arrange a site visit. Together we define flowers, colours, floral elements and priorities. Once the project is confirmed, I coordinate its realisation and organise my team according to the characteristics and complexity of the event.
Do you only work in Tuscany, or do you travel to other regions?
I am based in Florence and work mainly throughout Tuscany, but I can also travel to other regions of Italy and abroad. Each enquiry is considered according to the venue, the project and the organisation required; any travel and logistics costs are included in the proposal.
Do you use artificial or preserved flowers?
I work mainly with fresh flowers, choosing varieties suited to the season and the characteristics of the project. Whenever possible, I favour seasonal flowers and flowers sourced locally, regionally or nationally. Other materials are considered only when they are appropriate to the project and the requirements of the floral design.
What is the difference between a traditional florist and a floral designer?
Floral design begins with the project as a whole. It is not simply about bouquets, centrepieces or individual arrangements, but about bringing together flowers, colours, proportions, the venue, light, season and the atmosphere of the event. My work is to transform these elements into a coherent floral design created for the people and the place that will host it.
What is included in the floral proposal?
The proposal is developed around the project and includes the planned floral elements, the necessary materials, professional work, organisation, staff and, when required, transport and installation. Each item depends on the characteristics of the event and the venue. The aim is to provide a clear proposal from the beginning, consistent with what we have defined together.
Do you also work on elopements and intimate weddings?
Yes. Elopements and intimate weddings offer the opportunity to develop very personal projects that are closely connected to the setting. I work in villas, villages, gardens and natural landscapes throughout Tuscany, designing the flowers in relation to the couple, the season and the atmosphere of the ceremony.
Is it possible to create a beautiful floral design within a defined budget?
Yes. Knowing the budget from the beginning helps establish priorities and understand where flowers can have the greatest impact. The choice of varieties, seasonality, the number of floral elements and the way they are distributed throughout the spaces make it possible to create a coherent project within the available investment, without adding elements simply because they are part of a standard list.
Can we give you a floral design that has already been developed by us or by our wedding planner?
Yes. The floral design does not necessarily have to be developed entirely by me. I can develop it together with the couple or the wedding planner, or work from an existing design and take care of its realisation. In this case, I assess the project, the venue, the season, the materials, logistics and the technical aspects required to understand how to realise it as intended. Working closely with whoever developed the project is part of the process and allows me to respect the original idea while maintaining the quality and feasibility of the installation.
