Larry Walshe, the renowned luxury floral designer, infused Villa Balbiano on Lake Como with a fresh and timeless elegance for a white wedding that celebrated both simplicity and sophistication. For this breathtaking event, Walshe chose green hydrangeas as the focal flower, blending their soft, mossy tones with white blooms to create a serene yet vibrant atmosphere.
The lush, full-bodied hydrangeas framed the villa’s historic architecture, their subtle green hues adding an unexpected pop of color while retaining the romantic, ethereal quality of the celebration. As guests arrived at the villa, the view of the shimmering lake and the surrounding mountains was reflected in the cascading arrangements, which softened the grandeur of the venue with their organic beauty. Each floral composition felt like a seamless extension of the natural landscape, perfectly harmonizing with the surroundings.
Stood at the end of the aisle and creating the most sensational impact, a custom-created circular moongate, standing over 3m in diameter. Crafted with a base of fluffy green hydrangea to soften the structure, before a mass of white hydrangea flowers which will veritably grow up and over the piece on either side as they rise from the stage itself. Undulating and molecular in its conception, this luxurious and modern design will be sure to capture the hearts of each and every guest.
Running along the aisle on either side of the aisle at stylish intervals, compact mounds of glorious hydrangea formed in a molecular and undulating spirit, offering a rambling and modern conception that will appear utterly luxurious and timeless. Synergizing with the reference images above, the design will create a hugely original and dramatic setting; perfect for the most memorable walk of your life.
