Maria Mannino is a Sicilian floral designer working across the island and throughout Italy.

Her work is rooted in Sicily itself, a place of hard light, strong colour and contrast, and her arrangements set the wild character of the Sicilian countryside against contemporary design. Maria works by instinct rather than rules, weaving texture, scent and colour together, and couples talk about the freshness of the flowers as much as the arrangement of them, which matters a great deal in a Sicilian summer.

We love her for couples marrying in Sicily who want flowers that genuinely belong to the landscape around them.

Good to know: Maria takes on church and venue decoration as well as bouquets and table arrangements.
