Fioriditesta is the Florence-based floral studio of Melania, working across Tuscany and at exclusive venues throughout Italy.

Twenty years in have given her an unusually refined sense of balance: her compositions are contemporary and elegant without tipping into either severity or excess. Every project starts with proper listening, and couples consistently say she captured exactly what they'd pictured, which is harder than it sounds when the brief exists mainly in someone's head. She's responsive throughout, which matters when you're briefing from another country.

We love her for couples marrying in Tuscany who want sophisticated, individual florals and a designer who listens closely before she designs.

Good to know: Melania and her team work at exclusive venues right across Italy, not only in Tuscany.
