Flower design: elegance, originality and seasonality
With the arrival of summer, nature reveals itself in all its glory. During this period, flower design focuses strongly on seasonality, drawing inspiration from the incredible variety of plants that grow spontaneously in gardens. Opting for seasonal flowers is a beneficial and sustainable choice, guaranteed to provide a magnificent visual and olfactory experience.
Flower-filled decorations
Starting with the bride’s bouquet, flower design can set the mood for the entire event through a variety of compositions tailored to the style of the wedding: from decorations for the ceremony to adornments for the guests’ seats, from centrepieces to decorations for themed corners. With their beauty, flowers can also enhance the wedding cake, dessert buffet and sugared almonds, adding a touch of uniqueness to every single detail.
Organising a wedding during the summer allows you to choose from a wide range of colours and shapes. Depending on the chosen theme, you can opt for opulent flowers with a rounded, layered structure, varieties with a light line or species with an irregular shape, particularly suitable for natural chic styles. The combinations can take into account the appearance, symbolic value or meaning attributed by the future spouses to a particular species. This creates an experiential journey that captivates guests and tells the couple’s story.
Striking flowers for sophisticated weddings
Luxury receptions focus on sumptuous creations: floral arches, cascading arrangements, installations in ornamental vases and large loose bouquets. Flowers are selected based on aesthetics and quality, so that they keep their fragrance throughout the reception. The particularly sophisticated arrangements can include gold finishes, sheer fabrics, fine porcelain and imposing chandeliers.
Among the most elegant species are undoubtedly roses, the undisputed queens of flower design. A symbol of love, they are available all year round, but at this time of year they bloom in all their splendour, thanks to the abundant sunlight and favourable climatic conditions. Their bell-shaped structure, with silky petals that gradually open outwards, makes these flowers harmonious and graceful. The shades range from white to pastel tones, which can be paired with bright colours such as yellow, deep pink and orange. The beautiful peonies, soft and fluffy, create a spectacular cloud-like effect. Traditionally associated with beauty, they are available in many colours, from ivory to soft yellow, from candy pink to coral pink. In June, they can be used in combination with delicate buttercups, with their spherical and symmetrical shape, or with lush hydrangeas, opting for soft shades of pink, blue and cream.
Wildflowers and aromatic herbs for rustic chic weddings
Thanks to their versatility, roses and hydrangeas are also ideal for rustic chic arrangements, which combine rural elements with fine details such as delicate fabrics, crystals and candelabras. In country chic and shabby chic themed arrangements, floral designers can indulge in bold combinations, using wheat ears, aromatic herbs and wildflowers, which withstand high temperatures well.
Simple but rich in meaning, lavender conveys peace and serenity. Its unmistakable shade of purple makes it perfect in combination with ivory and pure white. To summon up the relaxing atmosphere of Provence, it can be paired with white roses, daisies or chamomile flowers, embellishing the arrangements with lace inserts and handmade ceramics. For a strong visual impact, it can be combined with the bright yellow of craspedia or sunflowers, a source of energy and positivity. To create particularly fresh and fragrant compositions in bouquets, eucalyptus leaves or aromatic herbs such as mint, rosemary and thyme, emblems of boldness and vitality, can be added.
Enhancing the magic of flowers with enchanting panoramas
At the Antiche Scuderie Odescalchi, flower design is a true art form that can serve as the common thread throughout the entire event. During the summer, our floral designers draw inspiration from the spontaneous blooms of English gardens, overflowing with colours and scents. The lush nature creates a continuity with the themed decorations, emphasised by the emerald green of the vegetation and the golden fields. The panoramic view of Lake Bracciano, which reveals itself at first glance, immediately brings to mind the leitmotif of water, an element that is renewed in the two fountains and the stream that runs through the Tenuta Vigna Grande estate. Enchanting views and delightful cool corners provide the perfect backdrop for exclusive decorations ranging from glamour to natural chic. The possibility of celebrating the authentic civil ceremony on site allows the entire event to be held at the venue, reducing any inconvenience associated with travel. Thanks to the temperate climate, evening receptions can include a poetic dinner under centuries-old maple trees, where guests are surrounded by cascades of lights that recall the twinkling of the stars.
