An intimate guest list, a different role for flowers In recent years, also here in Tuscany, more and more couples have been choosing micro‑weddings and intimate ceremonies: few guests, sometimes only close family and a handful of friends, gathered in a villa in the Chianti hills, in a village in the Val d’Orcia, in a small room in the centre of Florence. It is not a “reduced version” of a traditional wedding; it is a different way of living the day, closer, quieter, with gest

Flowers in real life, before they appear in the feed Today, almost every wedding in Tuscany also lives on social media: Instagram stories, reels, carousels of photos showing churches in Florence, villas in the Chianti, villages in the Val d’Orcia, gardens at sunset. Flowers are often at the centre of these images, but what appears online does not always match reality: filters, altered colours, installations created only for a single shot.In my studio in Florence, I try to fo

Starting from the ceremony, not just from the colour When I think about flowers for a wedding in Tuscany, I do not start only from colour or season, but from the language of the ceremony itself. A civil wedding in a town hall in Florence has a very different rhythm and set of rules compared to a symbolic ceremony in a garden in the Chianti, just as a religious wedding in church followed by an outdoor celebration calls for a project that can hold together several ways of sayin

Let trends inspire you, without losing yourselves or the landscape Every year the “it” colours change, new installations fill social media, the same keywords keep coming back: neutral palettes, warm tones, total white, velvet, dramatic arches. Couples who plan a wedding in Tuscany – between Florence, the Chianti, Siena and the Val d’Orcia – often arrive at the studio with a folder full of images and an unspoken question: how can we follow trends without losing who we are and

Start from the villa, not from a photo found online When a couple comes to my studio with a photo saved from Pinterest, my first question is usually something else: where will the wedding take place? A villa overlooking the Chianti hills, a castle in the Val d’Orcia, a historic residence in the heart of Florence do not speak the same language, neither in terms of architecture nor light. If flowers truly want to be part of the story, they must first enter into dialogue with th

An elopement is not a “mini wedding” An elopement in Tuscany is not just a smaller version of a traditional wedding. Very often it is only the couple, with few or no guests. The day moves between a villa in the hills, a stone village, a vineyard at sunset, perhaps a stretch of coastline or a cypress avenue. In this context, the bouquet is not something that rests quietly on a table: it is always in hand, always in the frame, at the centre of hugs, walks and constant changes o
