Chic Florentine Castle Wedding

Hello again!

This next wedding took place at the Castello di Vincigliata in Fiesole, a castle tucked deep in the hills above Florence. The all-white theme was elegant, luxurious and super chic. Enjoy!

Country Chic at the Four Seasons

Buongiorno a tutti! 

Apologies for not updating the blog in a timely fashion but we have been busy busy busy with all kinds of weddings and events! We would love to share a few highlights from the last few weeks that we think you all might enjoy, so have a look...

First up is a late-spring party in the pool area and garden of  the Four Seasons Florence. We used english roses, bleeding hearts and sweet peas in lovely, cheerful pinks. The mint green pots added a splash of color and fresh touch. Our white lanterns surrounded the area and lit up the edge of the gorgeous pool.







Another event, again at the Four Seasons - a country-chic style welcome dinner. Using aromatic herbs, olive trees, seasonal fruit and tones of soft purples and lavenders, the decor was intimate, casual but elegant, and enhanced the Tuscan feel of the area.








Next up in a bit, a handful of chic weddings at a popular castle location overlooking Florence...

Flowers from Florence to the Louvre - Ferragamo & Da Vinci

On March 27, 2012, we were invited by the house of Salvatore Ferragamo to create the floral decorations for a day of events at the Musee du Louvre in Paris. The famous Florentine company best known for their handcrafted leather shoes and bags (Mr. Ferragamo himself was the creator of many iconic shoes, including Dorothy's ruby slippers in the classic 1939 film "The Wizard of Oz"), is the sole sponsor of the new exhibition at the museum of Leonardo DaVinci's newly restored work "Saint Anne", which was the last painting he had completed. You can read more about the event and the painting here: The NYTimes | Ferragamo at the Louvre.




The luncheon at Café Richelieu. 
We used a mix of pastel-colored spring flowers, adding warmth to the gorgeously dark, moody surroundings.




The gala dinner at the Café Mollien was decorated with vases of "Ferragamo Red" spring flowers and modern crystal accessories, bringing a bit of Italian-Chic to the historic French ambience.




The Tuscany Flowers van parked in the most elusive spot in the world!

One of many newspaper articles about the event.

See you again soon for another chic event!
