The Design Concept

The floral design for this wedding was inspired by Fontelunga’s quiet elegance and the surrounding Tuscan landscape.For couples planning their own celebration, our guide on how to choose a wedding florist in Tuscany explains key questions to ask and how to find a designer whose style fits your day Rather than introducing heavy structures or decorative excess, the approach focused on creating a few strong, sculptural floral moments that felt in balance with the venue.

Seasonal flowers and natural textures were chosen to echo the environment, allowing architecture, light, and space to play an equal role in the overall design. hese choices reflect larger natural, intentional floral design trends seen across weddings this year. Negative space was treated as an essential element, giving the florals room to breathe and feel intentional.

Ceremony Floral Design

The ceremony setting was designed to complement the venue rather than compete with it. Florals were placed with careful consideration of scale and proportion, framing the space without overwhelming the architecture or landscape.

By keeping the palette restrained and the forms sculptural, the ceremony design felt timeless and effortless — allowing the moment itself to remain the focal point.

From Concept to Reality: Designing Monique & Tom’s Wedding in Tuscany

Every wedding we create begins long before the flowers arrive on site.

During the planning phase, we develop hand-drawn floral sketches to explore proportions, balance, colour harmony, and how the design will interact with the architecture and landscape of the venue.

For Monique & Tom’s wedding in Tuscany, this process allowed us to refine the ceremony composition, ensuring the floral installations framed the space naturally while remaining timeless and intentional.

These sketches serve as a shared visual language between our studio and our couples — transforming ideas into a clear, cohesive design before production begins.

This approach allows every floral element to feel intentional, balanced, and fully integrated into the setting.

Reception & Table Styling

For the reception, a long table was chosen to enhance the sense of intimacy and shared experience. Floral elements were integrated rhythmically along the table, working in harmony with candles, linens, and materials rather than dominating the setting.

This approach created an atmosphere that felt warm, layered, and inviting — particularly well suited to Fontelunga’s relaxed yet refined character.

Aperitif Moments & Tiramisu Table Design

The aperitif and tiramisu table were conceived as relaxed, social moments within the celebration — spaces designed for guests to gather, move freely, and enjoy the atmosphere beyond the formal dinner.

Instead of a traditional cake, the couple chose a tiramisu tower, embracing an iconic Italian dessert and transforming it into a visual centerpiece. The design was intentionally understated, allowing texture, form, and placement to create impact without excess.

Floral accents followed the same natural rhythm seen throughout the day, ensuring the aperitif and tiramisu table felt seamlessly connected to the overall wedding design rather than treated as a separate element.To better understand our approach to destination wedding design, learn more about the philosophy that shapes every celebration we create.
