La Bottega dei Fiori in Florence: the Artisan Workshop Behind Tuscany’s Most Memorable Events

La Bottega dei Fiori is Ezio De Angelis's artisan workshop in Florence, active since 1995. Every tailor-made floral design for weddings and events held in villas, castles, and hamlets across Tuscany is born here.

When the Tuscan landscape becomes part of the event

Tuscany is a land of soft hills, ever-changing skies, sunsets that look painted. For anyone choosing to celebrate a wedding, a vow renewal, or a special event here, the venue is never just a backdrop, it's a living part of the story. In my work at La Bottega dei Fiori in Florence, the starting point is always the same: listen to what each place has to say, a historic villa, a castle, a medieval hamlet, and build a quiet conversation between architecture, landscape, and wedding floral design in Tuscany, so that nothing ever feels forced or out of place.

The Bottega: the workshop where every design is born

Long before arriving at a villa in Chianti or a castle near Siena, every design is born right here, in my workshop in Florence. It's a genuine working space, not a shop you walk past, worktables where fresh flowers arrive every week, tools I've used for thirty years, bouquets and arrangements taking shape hours or even days before the event. La Bottega dei Fiori was founded in 1995, and it has been the fixed point my work has grown from ever since, thirty years as a Florence floral designer, every project, every variety chosen, every proportion worked out, is thought through and built here first, calmly, before it ever travels to the venue that will host it. In that sense, the Bottega isn't just the name of the business, it's the real place everything I sign my name to is born from.

Villas, castles, hamlets: every venue calls for a different design

Every Tuscan setting has its own character. Historic villas, set against gardens and hillsides, call for floral design that can match the elegance of the facades and the tree-lined drives without overloading them. Castles, with ancient walls, inner courtyards, and stone halls, call for designs that respect history, bringing light and softness in among arches and battlements. Medieval hamlets, with their cobbled streets and tucked-away squares, invite a more intimate, understated kind of beauty, one that lets the simplicity of the place shine through. From Florence to Chianti, from Siena to the small villages among the vineyards, every floral design for an event in Tuscany starts with listening to the venue before it ever turns to the flowers.

The La Bottega dei Fiori method: tailored design, not ready-made formulas

At La Bottega dei Fiori, there are no standard packages, every event is treated as one of a kind. The work begins with a dedicated consultation, where you tell me what kind of day you're picturing, what feelings you want your guests to experience, what your relationship with the chosen venue is like. From there, we build a complete project: tailor-made bouquets, the ceremony, the tables, the entrances, the special corners that deserve their own detail. I work mainly with seasonal flowers and materials that fit the landscape, so the design feels like it was born right there, in that villa, that castle, that hamlet, rather than dropped in from outside. Quality and freshness run through everything, every stem is chosen because it has a reason to be there, not just to fill space.

An experience built for those who love Intentional Beauty

Choosing to celebrate an event in Tuscany with La Bottega dei Fiori means wanting something beyond a simply “pretty” design. It means wanting to build an experience where the flowers speak of you, of your story, of your connection to this land, following the Method of Intentional Floral Beauty I've developed over thirty years of work. My workshop in Florence works strictly by appointment for exactly this reason, so I can give every project the calm attention it deserves, in dialogue with you and, when needed, with wedding planners and anyone else involved. If you're picturing your dream event among Tuscan villas, castles, or hamlets, we can start with a conversation and let the landscape and the flowers, together, suggest the setting that feels most true to how you want it to feel.

Historic villas, castles, and medieval hamlets across Tuscany, from Florence to Chianti, from Siena to the small villages among the vineyards. Every venue calls for a different floral project, because every space has its own character and architecture.

What does tailor-made design mean, compared to standard packages, for an event in Tuscany?

It means every floral project starts with a dedicated consultation, where I listen to the couple's story, the kind of day they're picturing, and their relationship with the chosen venue.
