Da quanto tempo prima devo contattarti per un matrimonio?
Prima contatti, meglio è — soprattutto per i matrimoni estivi e primaverili in Toscana, che si prenotano anche con uno o due anni d'anticipo. In generale, ti consiglio di scrivermi almeno sei-otto mesi prima della data. Per date ravvicinate, contattami comunque: se sono disponibile, trovo il modo di farlo bene.
Wedding Flowers in Tuscany and Florence — Bespoke Floral Design for Your Wedding
I have been working with flowers in Florence since 1995. More than thirty years spent in the workshop and working in historic villas, castles, villages and country estates throughout Tuscany have taught me one thing: the right flowers are not simply the most beautiful ones available. They are the ones chosen for you, for that particular day, for that light and for that setting.
If you are looking for a floral designer for your wedding in Tuscany, I’m Ezio De Angelis. I create bespoke floral designs, and every project begins by listening to you — never from a catalogue.
The Intentional Floral Beauty Method for Your Wedding
There is no standard “Tuscan wedding package” bearing my name. There is a method that I bring to every wedding, adapting it each time to the couple, the setting and the occasion. I call it the Intentional Floral Beauty Method, and it develops through three stages.
Emotional Listening
Before we talk about flowers, I listen to you: your story, the venue you have chosen and the atmosphere you want your guests to experience. I’m not looking for a style to impose — I’m looking for your own voice. This first conversation is the foundation of the entire project.
Intentional Floral Design
I turn what I have heard into a concrete floral design. Every flower, every colour, every structure and every empty space has a reason for being there. Nothing is added simply to fill a space. I consider the light of the venue, the rhythm of the day and its key moments — the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and celebration — creating a floral journey that brings everything together.
Experience Direction
Every wedding is approached with the same care, from the initial design through to its realisation. Depending on the nature of the event, the complexity of the floral installation and the arrangements agreed with the couple or their wedding planner, I personally coordinate the work and organise my team’s presence to ensure that the project is brought to life as we envisioned it together.
Seasonal Flowers, Guaranteed Quality
I personally select the flowers I work with, sourcing them from local growers and trusted markets and suppliers whenever possible. Choosing seasonal flowers is not a limitation — it is a guarantee of quality. Flowers at their natural best last longer, perform better and have a character that out-of-season varieties simply cannot reproduce.
This matters even more for a summer wedding in Tuscany, where high temperatures and outdoor settings can put flowers to the test. Choosing varieties that are naturally suited to the season helps them remain beautiful throughout the day, from the ceremony through to the evening celebration.
Whenever the project allows, I favour more sustainable choices and work to reduce waste. For me, beauty should also be thoughtful and responsible.
Where I Work: From the Chianti Hills to the Val d’Orcia
I work throughout Tuscany — from Florence and the Chianti hills to the Val d’Orcia, Siena, the Maremma and the Pisan countryside.
Every location has its own character, and the floral design should respond to it. The light in a villa in the Arno countryside is different from the light in a farmhouse in the Val d’Orcia. Flowers chosen for an ancient cloister are not necessarily the same as those that work in an open garden overlooking the Chianti hills.
This is why I never bring the same design from one venue to another. I bring my experience and my way of working, but every floral project is developed specifically for the place in which the wedding will take place.
Over the years I have worked in historic villas and venues throughout Tuscany, including Villa La Massa, Villa San Michele in Fiesole and Villa Olmi. In Chianti, I have worked at Borgo San Felice and Castello di Gabbiano; in the Val d’Orcia, among villages and open landscapes; and in the Siena area, between the Certosa di Pontignano and the surrounding countryside.
Whether you are planning an outdoor ceremony in a Tuscan villa, a wedding in a historic castle or a destination wedding in Florence, the starting point is always the same: understanding the venue first, then designing the flowers around it.
If you are considering a venue and would like to understand how a floral design could work there, get in touch. That conversation is where the project begins.
What Your Wedding Floral
Service Includes
I take care of the floral design for your wedding as a whole, creating a coherent and harmonious setting. Bridal and bridesmaids’ bouquets, buttonholes, ceremony flowers, arches and installations, centrepieces, floral runners, long reception tables, cake flowers, cocktail hour and reception arrangements — every element is designed in relation to the others, the venue, the season and the atmosphere you want to create.
Every wedding is organised according to the date, the complexity of the floral design and the resources required to bring it to life with the care the project deserves. I coordinate the work and my team’s presence according to the nature of the event and the arrangements agreed with the couple or their wedding planner.
I also work with wedding planners and agencies looking for a floral designer for weddings in Tuscany. Collaborating with the other professionals involved is part of the process and allows us to coordinate timings, spaces and working arrangements while respecting both the venue and the overall organisation of the event.
How the Floral Design Takes Shape — and How We Define the Investment
The first step is getting to know each other. You tell me about your wedding date, the venue, the atmosphere you imagine, your needs and the budget you are considering for the floral design. From this conversation, I begin to develop a proposal tailored to your wedding.
I don’t work with a standard price list, because every wedding is different. The choice of flowers, the number of floral elements, the season, the venue, the logistics and the complexity of the installation all contribute to defining the project and the investment required.
My role is to help you understand where flowers can make the greatest impact and how to use your budget in a way that reflects what you want to create. The proposal therefore grows out of our conversation — not from a set of predefined options, but from a floral design created specifically for your wedding.
When a wedding planner is involved, I work closely with them to integrate the floral design into the overall organisation of the event and to coordinate timings, spaces and working arrangements.
When to Get in Touch
There is no fixed number of months that applies to every wedding. Availability depends on the date, the type of floral design and the organisation required to bring it to life.
For this reason, I recommend getting in touch as soon as you have confirmed your date and, if possible, your venue. The earlier we start the conversation, the more likely it is that I will be able to work with you and organise everything with the care your wedding requires.
Even if your wedding date is approaching, please feel free to contact me. If I am available and there is enough time to organise and deliver the project properly, we can discuss 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 of wedding flowers depends on the venue, the season, the type and quantity of flowers, the number of floral elements required, the logistics involved and the overall complexity of the design.
This is why it is important to talk about budget from the beginning. Knowing the investment you are considering for your flowers allows me to design realistically, understand which solutions are best suited to your wedding and establish priorities together.
Not every wedding needs the same floral elements. The ceremony, bridal bouquet, centrepieces, long reception tables, arches and installations are considered in relation to the spaces, the venue and the atmosphere you want to create. The design grows from these choices, rather than adding elements simply because they appear on a standard list.
In the contact form, you will find some indicative budget ranges. These provide a useful starting point for understanding the nature of your enquiry. From there, we can explore the project in more detail and, when the conditions are right to proceed, I will prepare a bespoke proposal.
Logistics also affect the overall cost. A floral installation in a castle in the Chianti countryside may involve different access requirements, installation times, staffing and organisation from a wedding in a private garden in Florence. For this reason, my proposal takes into account not only the flowers themselves, but everything required to create and install the floral design properly.
Frequently asked questions
How Far in Advance Should I Contact You About My Wedding?
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 confirmed your date and, if possible, your venue. The earlier we start the conversation, the more likely it is that I will be able to work with you and organise everything with the care your wedding requires.
If your wedding date is approaching, please get in touch anyway. If I am available and there is enough time to organise and deliver the project properly, we can discuss together how to proceed.
​
Do You Only Work in Tuscany, or Can You Travel?
My base is Florence and I work mainly throughout Tuscany, but I can also travel to other regions of Italy and abroad. Each enquiry is considered according to the location, the project and the organisation required, with any travel costs included in the proposal.
​
Do You Create Floral Designs for Weddings in Castles or Historic Villas with Architectural Restrictions?
Yes. I carefully assess the spaces and any restrictions imposed by the venue. When necessary, I design freestanding floral arrangements and installation systems that avoid fixing anything to walls, frescoes or architectural features, while respecting both the setting and the floral design.
​
Do You Work with Wedding Planners and Agencies for Weddings in Tuscany?
Yes. I work with wedding planners and agencies, coordinating timings, spaces and working arrangements so that the floral design integrates smoothly with the overall organisation of the event. Wedding planners and agencies are welcome to contact me directly to discuss a project.
​
Do You Also Create Floral Designs for Civil and Symbolic Ceremonies?
Yes. I create floral designs for religious, civil and symbolic ceremonies. The approach remains the same: the flowers are designed in relation to the setting, the season, the type of ceremony and the atmosphere you want to create.
​
Do You Deliver and Set Up Wedding Flowers Throughout Tuscany?
Yes. I work in Florence and throughout different areas of Tuscany. Delivery, installation and the organisation of the work are defined according to the location, the complexity of the floral design and the requirements of the event. Any travel costs are taken into account when preparing the proposal.
​
Can I Share My Pinterest Inspiration or Photos I Have Saved?
Of course. Images and inspiration are useful starting points for understanding what you are drawn to, but I do not use them as templates to reproduce. The floral design is developed specifically for your wedding, taking into account the venue, the season and the character of the event.
