Floral elegance for vernissages and art events in Tuscany
For a vernissage, exhibition or art event, flowers should become part of the space without competing with what is happening within it. My work begins with the architecture, the light, the artworks on display and the way guests move through the venue, creating floral designs that accompany the event with balance and character.
I work in Florence and throughout Tuscany for openings, exhibitions, presentations, galleries, cultural venues and occasions where art, design and communication meet floral design. Every project is developed in relation to the setting, the season and the atmosphere you would like to create.
The aim is not simply to decorate the space, but to create a dialogue with it. Colours, forms, proportions and the placement of flowers are considered so that the floral design becomes part of the experience without overpowering the artworks or the character of the venue.
My creative philosophy for vernissages, openings and exhibitions
Every art event has its own identity. Before thinking about flowers, I try to understand the theme, the language of the event, the character of the space and the people who will experience it.
From there, I develop a bespoke floral design in which colours, forms, proportions and flower varieties are chosen to create a dialogue with the setting and with what is being presented. Whenever possible, I favour seasonal flowers and locally, regionally or nationally sourced varieties, considering each choice in relation to the time of year and the needs of the project.
I look for a floral presence that accompanies the experience without imposing itself: flowers can guide the eye, highlight particular areas of the space and contribute to the atmosphere, while allowing the art and the event itself to remain the focus.
Personalization and attention to detail
I work closely with gallery owners, curators, artists, communication teams, companies and venue managers to understand the needs of the event and the result they would like to achieve.
I can develop the floral design from an initial idea, create it together with the people organising the event, or work from an existing concept and take care of its realisation. In every case, I consider the space, the season, the materials, logistics and any technical requirements involved.
The placement of the flowers is also considered in relation to the way guests move through the space, the artworks, the surfaces and the light. When photography, video, social media content or press materials are part of the event, I take this into account from the design stage, so that the floral arrangements work beautifully both in person and in images.
When I can support you
with floral design
I work on vernissages, art exhibitions, openings and reopenings, presentations, fashion and design collection launches, corporate events and private occasions where flowers contribute to the atmosphere and identity of the event.
The scale of the floral design changes according to the setting. In a gallery, a discreet floral presence at selected points along the visitor's route may be enough; for an opening, presentation or launch, the project may involve several areas and become part of the event's narrative without taking over from it.
I also work in unconventional venues — courtyards, cloisters, terraces, industrial spaces, ateliers and temporary settings — considering access, installation times, light, the characteristics of the space and any organisational requirements.
I don't set the same lead time for every event: it depends on the date, the complexity of the project, the venue and the availability of materials. If you already have a date and a venue, even if the event is approaching, tell me about the project and we can see what can realistically be achieved.
Floral design for your art event
If you are organising a vernissage, exhibition, opening, presentation or an event connected with art and design, tell me about the project, the date and the venue.
We can start from an idea to develop together or from an existing concept. I will consider the space, the season, the organisational requirements and the role the flowers should play in the event, so that we can arrive at a proposal that is both coherent and realistically achievable.
The first step is a conversation: from there, we can decide together how best to proceed.
Frequently asked questions
​
What types of art events do you create floral designs for?
I work on vernissages, art exhibitions, openings and reopenings, presentations, fashion and design collection launches, corporate events and private occasions where flowers contribute to the atmosphere and identity of the event. Every project is considered in relation to the venue, the season, the guests and the role the flowers should play in the overall experience.
​
How does a floral design for a vernissage or exhibition begin?
I start with the space, the light, the artworks or theme of the event and the way guests will move through the venue. These elements guide the choice of colours, forms, proportions and flower varieties. The aim is not simply to decorate, but to create a floral presence that enters into dialogue with what is being presented without overpowering it.
​
Can you work from a concept already developed by an artist, curator or agency?
Yes. I can develop the floral design together with the people organising the event, or work from an existing concept and take care of its realisation. In this case, I consider the space, the season, materials, logistics and technical requirements so that the original idea can be respected and realistically brought to life.
​
How far in advance should I contact you for an event?
There is no single lead time that applies to every event. It depends on the date, the complexity of the floral design, the venue, flower availability and organisational requirements. If you already have a date and venue, even if the event is approaching, tell me about the project and we can see what can realistically be achieved within the time available.
​
Do you also work in unconventional venues?
Yes. As well as galleries and exhibition spaces, I can work in courtyards, cloisters, terraces, ateliers, industrial spaces and temporary settings. Before defining the project, I consider access, installation times, light, the characteristics of the space and any technical restrictions.
​
Can the floral design also be planned with photography, video and social media in mind?
Yes. If photography, video or content for communication is part of the event, I can take this into account from the design stage. Position, proportions and viewpoints can be considered so that the floral arrangements work effectively in person and retain their impact in images.
​
Do you always use seasonal and locally sourced flowers?
Whenever possible, I favour seasonal flowers and locally, regionally or nationally sourced varieties, but the choice depends on the project, the time of year, availability and the result we need to achieve. I prefer to assess each situation individually, aiming to reduce waste and choosing materials and solutions that are appropriate to the event.
​
How is the cost of the floral design determined?
The cost depends on the type of event, the venue, the season, the choice and quantity of flowers, the number and scale of the elements required, logistics and the complexity of the installation. I don't work from a standard price list: once I understand the project, I can prepare an initial proposal and, if we decide to work together, develop the floral design in detail.
