Throwing it back to a wedding where everything felt like sunshine and warmth. ✨
�I’ll be honest—yellow was never really my color, but something about this mellow yellow palette stole my heart. From delicate buttercup blooms to rich juicy sunset accents, I’m totally into it now. It’s soft, radiant, and full of joy!
There’s something magical about yellow—it’s a color that instantly lifts your spirits and adds a touch of happiness to any celebration. 💛

Can’t wait to see how this cheerful hue continues to inspire my upcoming weddings!

One of my favorite bouquets from late spring—overflowing with juicy blooms in shades of apricot, peach, and salmon. 🌸✨

That soft, sun-kissed moment when color feels both ripe and delicate.
Everything framed by one of my botanical-dyed silk ribbons from , adding that final whisper of texture and tone. Forever in love with how nature speaks through every detail.

Thanks also to gcflowercollective for your special blooms, I can’t go over it! 💛

Neutral colors don’t have to be boring—they can be elegant, romantic, and timeless. Soft tones tell beautiful stories, like the ones I created for Raya and Derek.
Understated, intentional, and forever inspiring.

I don’t often play with contrasts—I’m usually drawn to monochromatic palettes.
But when I do, I love finding the perfect transition from one tone to another, creating harmony in the unexpected.
In this arrangement, I even brought in dried mushrooms for a touch of earthy texture.

When I suggested garlic for their wedding florals, I was thrilled—until I realized it meant an 8-hour drive across Italy with the sun blazing and the car packed to the brim.

But honestly? It was so funny, an unforgettable adventure. Every time I see garlic now, I’ll think of you guys dali_tarta 🤍

Some projects aren’t just work—they’re personal.

When one of my closest friends asked me to create the florals for their wedding, it felt like everything had come full circle. 💕
Designing for their love story in the place where my own began—my hometown—was something I’ll never forget.
Working from my parents’ house, with family nearby and my closest friends as my team, this wedding became more than just an event. It was a celebration of love, friendship, and roots.

G + L
To my friends: thank you for trusting me with your day.

To my team and my family: you made it all possible. And to my hometown: you’ll always feel like home.

Puglia in September—olive groves, golden light, and a wedding that felt like a love letter to Italy.

Blending wild elegance, trend with the rustic charm of the countryside. Think earthy tones, and a touch of ‘la dolce vita.’
A huge grazie to the brave couple who brought me across the sea for their big day. Trusting a San Francisco-based Italian to bring their vision to life? Bellissima choice. 🇮🇹
As an Italian far from home, this was more than just a job—it was a reminder of where I come from and where I’m headed. (Yes, I’m plotting my return to Italy in the near future. Stay tuned flowers)

Here’s to love that crosses oceans, florals that make hearts skip a beat (while keeping it eco-friendly), 🍆 and weddings that feel like they’re straight out of a stylish Italian film. Che bello, no?

Somewhere between the whispers of old poems and the delicate embrace of antique gardens, there’s a secret place where my heart resides.

It’s where my love for florals, soft textures, and timeless details comes alive—a mix of wildness and quiet elegance.

Do you ever dream of a place that feels like it was plucked from the pages of a beloved novel? This is mine—a little wild, a little untamed, but always blooming. 💕

From couple of seasons ago.

Sustainability isn’t just a trend—it’s a commitment. I believe that beauty and responsibility can go hand in hand.

We know that not every wedding can be 100% sustainable, but what truly matters is the effort we put in. From choosing seasonal, locally grown blooms to reducing floral waste and using eco-friendly design techniques, I make conscious decisions to respect nature while creating something beautiful.

But sustainability isn’t just up to florists—it’s also in the hands of couples. By choosing a florist who values sustainability, you’re making a difference. Look for florists who:
~ Use seasonal and locally grown flowers as much as they can
~ Avoid floral foam and plastic-based materials
~ Repurpose and donate arrangements after the wedding
~ Prioritize sustainable packaging and transportation

Every small step counts, and together, we can shape a future where weddings are not only stunning but also kind to the planet. 💛

If you're a couple planning your wedding, we’d love to help you make sustainable floral choices! Let’s chat about how we can bring your vision to life—thoughtfully and beautifully.

Puglia, you never disappoint—except when I have to explain to airport security why my suitcase is full of orecchiette and cheese. (Just kidding)

Traveling for work is chaotic and exhausting but every time, I come back richer —emotionally, aesthetically, culinarily.

This wedding was all about bold choices: hydrangeas that look like they belong in a Renaissance painting, eggplants as dĂŠcor (yes, really), and that golden Puglian light doing its magic. Who needs traditional when you have aubergines and amore?

Would I do it all over again? In a heartbeat.

Valentine’s Day: the one day a year when love gets wrapped up in chocolate boxes and picture-perfect declarations.
Too bad reality looks a little different. Real love isn’t about grand romantic gestures—it’s about the little things: sharing the last slice of pizza, tolerating questionable playlist choices, and surviving an IKEA furniture assembly without breaking up.
Maybe instead of chasing perfection, we should start celebrating love for what it really is—intense, messy, sometimes ridiculous, but absolutely real. Because in the end, that’s where the magic happens.
🌸 Cheers to love without a script!

~

San Valentino: il giorno in cui l’amore viene confezionato in scatole di cioccolatini e dichiarazioni perfette. Peccato che la realtà sia un po’ diversa. L’amore vero non è fatto di gesti da film romantico, ma di piccoli momenti quotidiani: dividere l’ultima fetta di pizza, sopportare playlist discutibili in macchina e non uccidersi quando si m***a un mobile dell’IKEA.
Forse invece di rincorrere la perfezione, potremmo iniziare a celebrare l’amore per quello che è: intenso, complicato, a volte assurdo, ma incredibilmente reale. Perché alla fine, è proprio lì che sta il bello.
🌸 Cheers a chi ama senza copione!

Always looking for new inspirations—because every wedding tells a different story.

Those who know me know that I have a romantic soul when it comes to flowers, but this year, I had the chance to experiment with different styles.

For this wedding, we designed the perfect formula for a hot summer day, where the scorching heat would have quickly wilted fresh flowers. Instead, every element had a purpose: vegetables were repurposed and reused, and the bread didn’t go to waste—it fed Lucia’s animals. 🐎

Beauty, creativity, and sustainability—all in one celebration. Because a wedding should be just like love: thoughtful, personal, and full of meaning. 🥖

I've never been a fan of clichés, but I do love traditions. That doesn’t mean traditions have to be blindly followed—they can evolve to be a little less... predictable.

Take the red rose, for example. It’s been made the symbol of love, yet the ones you typically find aren’t local, aren’t in season, and definitely aren’t sustainable. So why do we keep clinging to this tired cliché?

And let’s be honest—what kind of love does a perfectly straight, flawless red rose represent? A love that doesn’t exist. If we really want to talk roses, love is more like a garden rose: sometimes drooping, full of fiercely sharp thorns, curved in unexpected ways, but with an intoxicating scent. That’s real passion. That’s real love. ♥️

That being said, it’s not even garden rose season either—so trust the seasonal choices. There’s no love more beautiful than one that respects nature, too! 🫶🏻

~

Non ho mai amato i cliché, ma amo le tradizioni. Questo però non significa che le tradizioni debbano essere seguite ciecamente—possono evolversi per essere un po’ meno… scontate.

Prendiamo la rosa rossa, per esempio. È stata resa il simbolo dell’amore, eppure quelle che si trovano in giro di solito non sono locali, non sono di stagione e di certo non sono sostenibili. Quindi perché continuiamo ad aggrapparci a questo cliché noioso?

E diciamocelo—che tipo di amore rappresenta una rosa rossa perfettamente dritta e senza difetti? Un amore che non esiste. Se proprio vogliamo parlare di rose, l’amore è più simile a una rosa antica da giardino: a volte un po’ cadente, piena di spine dannatamente affilate, curva in modi inaspettati, ma con un profumo intensissimo. Questa è la passione vera. Questo è il vero amore. ♥️

Detto questo, non è nemmeno stagione delle rose da giardino—quindi fidatevi delle scelte stagionali. Non c’è amore più bello di quello che rispetta anche la natura! 🫶🏻

A Romantic soft bouquet for Raya 🫶🏻

I love connecting with brides, and seeing them on their big day with my flowers always brings out my emotions.

Planning a wedding takes so much time and effort, but when everything finally comes together, framing their love feels so fulfilling.

There’s something magical about bringing together the best seasonal blooms, all locally sourced, and letting their natural beauty shine.
For this piece, I finally had the chance to play with a palette that truly inspired me—soft, delicate hues with a wild and organic feel.

I always take a moment to pause while arranging, just to admire each stem, each petal. It’s a reminder of how lucky I am to work with these beauties. 🌼
And none of this would be possible without the incredible farmers who dedicate their time to researching and cultivating the most exquisite flowers. Your passion and hard work allow us florists to create with nature’s finest—thank you!
