The holiday season is finally here, which means it’s time to deck the hall, bring out the Christmas cookies and embrace all, and while it’s called the most wonderful time of the year for good reason, it’s sometimes all to easy to get lost of the holidays but here we are to give you some ideas.
First of all there are plenty of important holiday to-dos like taking family Christmas photos and getting ready with preparations of all Christmas cards.
This year I wanted to keep things minimal with just some pop of red berries but no green and lot of silver and gold.

So let’s dive into magic of Christmas with these lovely inspiring pics of Emma Innocenti of Innocenti Studio, I loved this perfect fireplace decorated for Xmas as a set for Sara and Lorenzo photos, both wear tartan pajamas ( how lovely they are?)

And what about beautiful Xmas card designed by Mélì Mélo graphic design ?

Christmas 2020 is around the corner, only few days left to most wonderful part of the year!
No matter how hard it is but Christmas is Christmas, my mission today is to bring you some joy with my attention to details creating this lovely fire place decor I loved at first sight.
Let me tell you that I’m glad to introduce my team of talents; Sofia Balli who perfecty captured me in this amazing dark green Naf Naf dress, my friend Andreane Fontana (Méli-Mélo graphic design) who designed perfect Christmas card ever!

Christmas decor this year is simple and organic, I asked only to my lovely husband to provide me some beautiful branches with red berries and moss from our country house to decor this simple Christmas wreath, I added few pine cones I have previously coloured in silver and copper, that’s it!

Fire place was for me perfect frame to set up a Christmas portrait backdrop, playing with moss and light of candles and having fun posing for talended Sofia.
Enjoy these lovely pics and please be kind! ( Make up & hair DIY)
With LOVE

elegant wedding at the Hotel Belmond

franci — Mon, 14 Oct 2019 10:07:43 +0000

The post for today is a pure elegant wedding at the Hotel Belmond.
The Hotel Belmond is located in Villa San Michele, which used to be a monastery during the Renaissance. It is one of Italy’s finest boutique hotels, surrounded by lush foliage, classical gardens, and exceptional views of Florence—the absolute must-have destination for an intimate wedding.
Hailing all the way from New York, the bride and the groom, Kathleen and Guillarme, were wed on August 31st, surrounded by 70 of their closest friends and family.
The style was elegant. The flowers used during the ceremony were white phalaenopsis orchids. To emphasize the clean and elegant décor, I displayed the orchids in glass vases cylinders on both sides at the church entrance, the altar and on the balustrades. I wanted the church to speak for its own beauty, only to be enhanced by the delicate white flowers. Isn’t the light from the grand chandelier just immaculate?
After the ceremony the reception was held in an Italian-style garden, bursting with lemon trees and fragrant roses. For the centerpieces I used Playa Blanca and Pink Mondial roses, which added just a touch of color to the marvelously white wedding. A generous number of candles and delicate string lights blanketed the evening in warm illumination.
Everyone was blown away by the gorgeous Hotel Belmond and it’s beautiful landscape, but most of all by the love Kathleen and Guillarme have for each other. Please enjoy the photography by Alessia Franco of David Bastianoni team.

Villa Tolomei wedding is title of post of today and frankly I couldn’t be happier with first wedding of 2019 season!
Lovely couple is from USA but live in Bologna since few August,Emily and Elliott loves Florence that’s why the opted for a gorgeous destination wedding in Tuscany.

Their knot have been held at Villa Tolomei in Florence on 22nd of March on a sunny but windy day of spring,both indoor gorgeous ceremony and reception set up set with ivories and white color palette with just an hint of pink.
Villa Tolomei is a five star hotel located perfectly in Florence and I’m glad to work here because is so beautiful and elegant.
I met Emily and Karen her lovely mum on 2nd of August on probably hottest day of season and together we took a look at initial Karen idea regarding wedding and flowers, it was clear since beginning of planning that Emily flowers must be white and elegant.
Result is all in these gorgeous pics of talented Milos owner of FunkyBird Photography (I’ll be forever grateful! considering that often I have to wait for sometime six before to receive wedding photos by photographers)
Ceremony decor was all on wedding Chuppah design which was classy and traditional as Emily and Elliott asked me for, white drapes of tulle and romantic decor on ivy ( which is symbol of eternal love) and lots a ramage of avalanche ivory and an accent of sweet avalanche roses on front of wedding Chuppah decor.
Wedding Chuppah design was basilar because Chuppah symbolize couple home and of course have to be stabile and beautiful.
I must admit I truly LOVE jewish weddings and it’s easy to understand why, so much happiness,fun and dancing of course!
Stunning Emily walked along the white runner of aisle carring her elegant spring white ranunculus hand tied bridal bouquet which looked gorgeous with her amazing embroidered bridal gown.
After ceremony, aperitif on terrace and reception under crystal marquee on garden where round fountain on middle was central decor with tons of roses petals and floating candles.
Color again were white of hydrangeas and ranunculus on glass Medicean vases on mirror surface to enhance all beauty of centertable decoration, pink of glass tea light holder simply added a lovely touch of color.
So pleased to reiceve Emily’s review :
“Wonderful Experience & Fabulous Product
To say in a few words – Francis is a dream to work with. She is passionate about her work and it shows throughout the wedding planning process as well as her final product. I do not know much about flowers but I knew I wanted it to be beautiful and cost efficient. I live in Italy and my mom is in the USA. Francis was flexible and present whenever we needed her (time differences and all). She took my ideas and my mothers and gave us more than we could have hoped for. I had a wonderful day and didn’t have to worry about a thing. I would highly recommend Francis to anyone getting married in Italy“

“Moody, Romantic Ambiance – Concept Dinner Party at Villa Tolomei”

The stunning five-star hotel Villa Tolomei offered the perfect setting for this custom shoot on January 30th. I fell in love with this villa when I worked on a wedding for a Texan couple last September, so it was my obvious choice for a dinner party concept shoot. As the creative director, I knew that the secret to beautiful photos would be in the details. I created romantic floral arrangements including pink roses, tulips, and snapdragons. The colors of the shoot are soft olive, porcelain, rouge, and almond.
It was a pleasure to work with beautiful Anastasia, who modeled two gorgeous dresses by the talented designer Anna Fucà. I chose two dresses for Anastasia, one a pre-dinner dress of lace and chiffon (which she wears while perusing the custom dinner invitations by Méli-Mélo Graphic design), and a simple yet chic evening gown to end the shoot in the evening.
Vaulted ceilings and generous windows enveloped the dining hall, creating an airy yet intimate atmosphere. I created an overall look and feel that was a delicate balance of refinement and antique style, which tied in naturally with the suspended, bespoke lighting curated by Kaleydo Entertainment. From Noleggi Nesti I chose a rich, olive tablecloth, and I decorated it with plenty of long-necked glassware. I wanted the glass to create twinkling illumination from the table. Noleggi Nesti also provided the tableware and dining chairs, which I chose to keep traditional and floral.
Thank you, and please enjoy these beautiful photos by Silvia Mazzei.
