Melania Maleci is the flower designer of Fiori di testa in Florence. Since 2000, she creates beautiful floral setups for weddings and private events. Thanks to her creativity, every location becomes the perfect setting for events.
We asked her some questions on the wedding flower design trends in 2021. Here are her tips!

Wedding flower design: which style to choose?

The floral arrangement is a fundamental element in the organization of a wedding. A wedding without flowers what marriage is? We can define the Flower design for the wedding as the fil rouge of the entire event. It determines the style and is the representative aspect of the couple.

There are different types of styles. I group them into 4 macro-categories:
– Romantic and elegant
– Modern and glamorous
– Vintage and natural
– Custom style, inspired by a theme chosen by the couple.

How to match the floral arrangement to the location?

We can decline each style in different ways. The couple creates their wedding mood starting from one of the four types. The starting point is the inspiration from which the theme of the event was born.

Then, it is the florist’s mission to realize the perfect arrangement for future spouses. It is important to know how to match each decoration to the wedding location, to create an evocative atmosphere that frames the event.

What are the wedding flower design 2021 trends?

For 2021 weddings, the trends in wedding flower design are green and eco-sustainability. Now more than ever, couples want to celebrate responsibly. As the result of the difficult time we are going out of, and the one we have experienced.

The most popular trend is the garden style, natural or wild, characterized by a lot of foliage and few floral arrangements. The cut flowers replace stabilized flowers, dried flowers, and grasses. The colors are those of the pastel shades combined with those defined as transmitters of happiness as yellow, ocher, orange, and brown.

How to reduce waste and create a sustainable setting?

To reduce waste it is possible to reuse the floral arrangements used in the preparation of the church or the Municipal Hall for the reception. Fresh flowers are indispensable to make a wedding charming, so it’s a shame to have to throw it all away. For this reason, I always suggest giving the compositions to the guests at the end of the event.

For a sustainable setting, it is important to use seasonal flowers grown in Tuscany, or plants such as aromatic ones, which can be given to guests as a thank you for being present at the wedding.

One last tip to surprise the guests?

To surprise guests, the secret is to create evocative settings. It will give an original touch to the location and all the furnishing elements. I don’t like to create compositions similar to each other, so I am always looking for original ideas to create new centerpieces or for the theme of marriage.

To do so, I like to confront the bride and groom about their passions, hobbies, and interests. Once identified, I develop the idea of floral arrangements right from those aspects.
