Flowers set the mood long before the music starts. They frame the ceremony, soften the space, and quietly tell the story of a couple’s style, season, and spirit. Today’s top floral designers are not just arranging blooms — they are shaping atmosphere, emotion, and visual identity for some of the world’s most unforgettable weddings. This curated list celebrates the creatives who turn petals into poetry and transform venues into living works of art.

Larry Walshe Studios is a globally recognised floral and event design atelier that operates at the intersection of luxury, emotion, and theatrical atmosphere. Founded by London-based designer Larry Walshe, the studio has expanded from its original London roots to studios in New York City, Lake Como, and Cannes — giving it a truly international reach and the ability to design weddings and events across Europe, the United States, and beyond.

The studio’s portfolio spans lavish destination weddings on Lake Como, dramatic corporate events in New York, and signature celebrations across Europe. Their floral silhouettes and scenic designs are created to enhance the environment rather than dominate it, resulting in settings that feel both elegant and alive. This approach has helped Larry Walshe Studios develop an enviable reputation among luxury clients worldwide, with work featured in major publications and sought after by those who expect excellence at every level.

Flowers by Edgar

Atmosphere is Edgar Martínez’s signature. Long before guests notice individual blooms, they feel the mood he creates — immersive, celebratory, and quietly cinematic. Based in California’s Bay Area, the creative force behind Flowers by Edgar is known for transforming wedding spaces into living worlds, where florals don’t just decorate a room, they define its emotional rhythm.

Edgar’s approach is deeply personal and instinctive. Every wedding begins with a couple’s story, their dreams, and their sense of place, which he translates into sculptural floral moments and thoughtfully layered installations. Curved aisles wrapped in greenery, lush botanical backdrops, and organic compositions that feel both intentional and effortless are part of his visual language. His work often carries a sense of movement and softness — florals that guide the eye, frame the moment, and quietly elevate everything around them.

Some floral designers work with flowers. Akiko Kovacs works with atmosphere, color, and memory. From her Paris-based studio Floraison, she creates floral worlds that feel deeply poetic, emotionally intelligent, and inseparable from the places they inhabit.

Paris plays an essential role in her creative identity. Akiko has developed a rare sensitivity to architectural heritage, designing florals that feel in conversation with historic spaces rather than imposed upon them. This philosophy has led her to some of France’s most iconic venues, including the Opéra Garnier — a place that holds personal meaning as well as professional prestige. With features in Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar and a portfolio of high-profile weddings across France, Akiko Kovacs has established Floraison as a name synonymous with refined artistry and thoughtful design.

Before Golf Srithamrong ever designed a wedding, he learned to listen to flowers. 

His creative story began in Thailand, where he grew blooms by hand and absorbed their rhythms, seasons, and quiet intelligence. That early intimacy with nature shaped the way he still works today — not as a decorator, but as a storyteller who uses florals to hold emotion, mark memory, and give love a physical presence.

Now leading Tantawan Design Inc. from New York and Miami, Golf creates floral environments that feel immersive, sculptural, and deeply theatrical. His work carries a rare balance of strength and refinement — bold architectural forms softened by movement, light, and an instinctive sense of harmony. Florals, in his hands, don’t simply dress a space. They transform it.

Lettre à Élise

For Lettre à Élise, floral design lives in the delicate balance between creative freedom and emotional precision. Every wedding becomes a visual language — a translation of a couple’s story into form, color, rhythm, and atmosphere. Nature is not treated as décor, but as a collaborator. The fragility of flowers, their impermanence, and their quiet power are central to the studio’s philosophy.

Their work has brought them into some of Europe’s most iconic settings, including Villa Balbiano on Lake Como, the Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, and Château de Villette near Paris. Designing in such storied places adds an emotional gravity to each project — not only because of the architecture, but because of the trust placed in them to shape experiences within those walls. International editorial features have followed, yet for the studio, recognition has never been the destination. Meaningful relationships with couples and planners — built on shared vision and long-term trust — remain their most valued achievement.

All for Love

There is a moment at every wedding when the room goes quiet — not because someone asked for silence, but because something beautiful just happened. This is the moment Ruth Davis designs for. From her London studio All For Love, Ruth creates floral environments that feel intimate, reverent, and deeply human. Her work doesn’t aim to impress first — it aims to move. 

Her career has unfolded across some of the world’s most discreet and demanding settings. Ruth has designed for public figures and members of royal households, projects that required exceptional sensitivity, confidentiality, and emotional intelligence. She has created large-scale installations in iconic venues in the UK and internationally, and her work has been featured multiple times in Vogue. Yet accolades have never been her metric. What matters most to her are the long-term relationships she builds and the quiet confidence couples place in her vision.

Oh, Maria Flores

Oh, Maria Flores was never built around a trend. It was built around a feeling.

In 2020, Maria Beatriz Figueira didn’t set out to become a florist — she followed a quiet obsession. Flowers made her feel something she couldn’t quite explain, and instead of ignoring that pull, she leaned into it completely. Self-taught and relentlessly curious, she began studying florals with the intensity of someone learning a new language. Reading, researching, experimenting, and unlearning rules became part of her everyday life. What started as a fascination slowly turned into fluency.

Favorite flowers change with the seasons, the light, and her mood. Color palettes evolve constantly, often anchored by unexpected pops that make a design feel electric rather than polite. She loves layering textures, mixing mediums, and building depth through contrast. What matters most to her is not consistency — it’s aliveness.

Birch Event Design

From New York, Birch Event Design has grown into one of the most influential studios in modern event and wedding design, known for its ability to build entire universes through flowers alone. Josh approaches each project as an act of visual storytelling. The same flower, in his hands, becomes something entirely personal — a reflection of a couple’s energy, a culture, a fantasy, or a future memory waiting to happen.

Josh and his team have designed everything from Diana Ross’s 80th birthday to Usher’s Met Gala after-party, from the launch of the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection in the South of France to pop-culture weddings that lived loudly across social media. Their work has appeared in every major publication, including Vogue — and yet, Josh says it still feels like the first time, every time. Josh designs with the confidence of someone who knows that flowers can carry spectacle, softness, culture, fantasy, and memory all at once. He isn’t interested in decoration. He’s interested in transformation.

Flowersliving

There is a certain kind of beauty that doesn’t ask to be noticed — it simply changes how a place feels. This is where Flowersliving works. From Florence, Marta Petrioli creates floral worlds that feel natural, calm, and emotionally anchored to their setting. Nothing about her work feels imposed. It looks as if it grew there, slowly and deliberately, shaped by light, season, and human presence.

Marta didn’t become a floral designer because she wanted to build a brand. She followed a long-standing sensitivity to nature, form, and atmosphere. Flowers had always felt like a quiet language to her — one capable of expressing tenderness, memory, and emotion without explanation. Over time, admiration turned into instinct, and instinct into craft. What she discovered was not just a love for flowers, but a desire to build moments with them.

Tulipina

Tulipina began long before it had a name. Long before New York, Lake Como, or the Palais Garnier, Kiana Underwood grew up in Iran, in a world where flowers were not reserved for special occasions — they were part of everyday life. They lived on tables, in gardens, at celebrations, in rituals, in quiet moments. Beauty was not something you scheduled. It simply existed. That early intimacy with flowers stayed in her body long before it became her profession.

One of her most defining projects unfolded inside the Palais Garnier in Paris. With less than twelve hours onsite, Kiana and her team were tasked with transforming one of the world’s most monumental interiors into something intimate, magical, and emotionally resonant. The scale was unforgiving. The clock was brutal. The result was extraordinary. The environment was not just decorated — it was altered. To this day, clients still reference that event as a benchmark, and for Kiana it became proof that Tulipina could handle the most exclusive, logistically impossible, high-pressure events in the world.

Lake Como Florist

What defines Lake Como Florist’s style is not a single palette or signature bloom, but an almost cinematic sensitivity to mood. One wedding may unfold in whisper-soft whites that feel timeless and restrained, another in moody browns, deep blues, or dramatic plums that feel like stills from an art film. Pastels, bold reds, unexpected pairings like mauve and lime — Margarita moves fluidly between emotional languages, always choosing what feels right for the couple, the venue, and the moment.

At Villa Balbiano, one bride gave her a single brief: “Make it feel like we’re suspending time.” Margarita answered with clouds of wild blooms floating between centuries-old stone and lake water, creating a space that felt untethered from any era. Guests later said they felt as though they had stepped into a dream — somewhere between reality and imagination. For Margarita, that reaction is the goal: when a venue stops being a venue and becomes a world of its own.

Andrea Patrizi Floral Designer

More than thirty years ago, when the role of the modern floral designer barely existed, Andrea and Nunzia began shaping spaces with flowers guided mostly by instinct and heritage. Over time, their natural craftsmanship met a growing fascination with fashion, art, and visual composition. Flowers stopped being simple arrangements and became a way to tell stories inside a space. A pivotal moment in their evolution came through their training with Peter Hess, the master of the Swiss floral school, which reframed their understanding of florals as an art form. That experience deepened their desire to create something more expressive, refined, and emotionally driven, especially within weddings.

Empathy sits at the center of their creative process. Every project begins with a deep emotional connection to the couple and a careful reading of the location itself. Andrea Patrizi Floral Designer treat venues as living characters with their own soul and history, allowing the space to guide the creative direction rather than imposing a fixed style. Their goal is never spectacle for its own sake, but transformation through sensitivity and atmosphere.

Roni Floral Design

Most of what Nicolas Barelier creates disappears within twenty-four hours. And that is exactly why it matters so much. For him, floral design is not about permanence or visual legacy. It is about building something that exists only once — a fragile, emotional architecture made of flowers, light, texture, and air. His work is designed to be lived inside, not archived. Guests don’t just see it. They feel it in their bodies when they step into a room and sense that something has shifted. That philosophy sits at the core of Roni Floral Design.

The studio’s identity was shaped around the idea of desire — not in a superficial way, but as an emotional response. Nicolas is fascinated by how flowers can turn invisible feelings into physical presence. Love, anticipation, intimacy, celebration — these abstract states become tangible through volume, movement, color, and scent. What began as a fascination with beauty and nature slowly became his language for storytelling and atmosphere-making.

Pina

Pina’s floral design is rooted in a lifelong fascination with texture, color, and the emotional resonance of nature. Though her work now reaches across international wedding and event circles, it was shaped early on by extensive travel, a curiosity about global trends, and years spent exploring how flowers interact with space in ways that feel both vibrant and intentional.

Her creative approach embraces both classic floral romance and contemporary styling. Pina’s designs frequently play with vibrant palettes — think deep crimsons, warm terracottas, and saturated tones that make a statement without ever feeling forced. At the same time, other projects reflect a softer, vintage romantic sensibility, with delicate arrangements that enhance linens, lighting, and overall event style rather than compete with them.

Design House Decor

What sets Design House Decor apart is its holistic approach. The team doesn’t work from templates or pre-set packages; every event begins with a blank slate and a deep conversation about what the couple wants to feel, remember, and experience. From concept to execution, their designers, florists, and production specialists collaborate to create décor that is both visually stunning and sensorially resonant.

Clients often highlight not only the visual results but the experience of working with the team: thoughtful guidance from early design sessions, flexibility to refine ideas, and a commitment to bringing personal visions to life without compromise. Reviews describe the team as professional, detail-oriented, and attentive, with the ability to translate even vague ideas into cohesive, breathtaking final productions.

Butterfly Floral & Event Design is a Los Angeles-based floral and design studio known for turning celebrations into unforgettable environments where emotion, beauty, and personal style intersect. Originally founded in 2007, the company emerged from a deep love of flowers and artistic expression, and has built a reputation for creative, bespoke floral design that elevates weddings and upscale events of all scales.

Rather than relying on cookie-cutter solutions, the team at Butterfly approaches every project as an opportunity to craft something unique and deeply personal. Whether working on large-scale production or intimate gatherings, they focus on sourcing the most beautiful blooms and combining them with thoughtful décor elements to shape atmosphere and memory. Their designers prioritize detail, client collaboration, and creative longevity, ensuring that each celebration feels intentional and distinct.

White Pepper Studio

Founded by three creatives with very different sensibilities, White Pepper Studio lives at the intersection of nature and design culture. One founder brings an intuitive, almost agricultural relationship to flowers, shaped by growing up in the countryside. Another approaches floral work through a conceptual, fashion-driven lens influenced by travel and contemporary aesthetics. The third works with spatial logic and scenographic structure, treating installations as environments rather than arrangements. Together, they’ve developed a visual language that feels architectural, expressive, and quietly experimental.

Their work often plays with contrast — softness against structure, wild growth against clean geometry, muted tones punctuated by sharp color or unusual texture. Flowers are chosen not only for beauty, but for shape, density, movement, and emotional tone. A stem might be used because of how it bends, not how it blooms. A cluster might exist to create shadow, not color. This way of thinking gives their installations a sculptural quality that feels modern and intentional without becoming cold or rigid.

Celio's Design

Celio’s Design is a Los Angeles-based floral and event design studio known for bringing custom wedding visions to life with artisan craftsmanship and a thoughtful sense of atmosphere. Rather than relying on a single “signature style,” the team adapts to each couple’s taste — from urban vintage to modern romantic — creating floral schemes that feel both personal and refined.

Celio’s Design understands that florals are not just details — they are landscape-making elements that help orchestrate the emotional flow of a wedding day. Whether weaving green ceremony motifs that echo nature or layering textures throughout a reception space, the team uses flowers to create environments that feel alive and resonant.

Le Fleuriste

Le Fleuriste is a Paris-based floral design studio led by Cyril, a florist whose work is defined by instinctive artistry, seasonal sensitivity, and a quiet sense of refinement. Cyril selects blooms for their character and vitality, often favoring seasonal varieties that allow each arrangement to feel honest and alive. His palettes are thoughtful and precise, and his compositions have a natural elegance that never feels forced or overdesigned.

Weddings occupy a central place in his work. Rather than approaching florals as decoration, he treats them as part of the emotional architecture of a day — elements that shape atmosphere, memory, and visual rhythm. From bridal bouquets to ceremony installations and table settings, every detail is considered as part of a larger story, one that reflects both the couple’s vision and the spirit of the place.

Vincenzo Dascanio Studio

Rather than working from a set style, Vincenzo Dascanio’s approach is dynamic and context-driven. The studio collaborates closely with clients to interpret their vision and translate it into atmospheres that feel both personal and artfully composed. This means florals and décor are tailored not only to the setting and season, but also to the emotional tone of the event — whether that’s romantic, dramatic, refined, or delightfully unexpected.

Vincenzo Dascanio himself brings decades of experience to the craft, with roots in design education and long collaborations within the hospitality world. He has served as Artistic Director for floral installations at luxury properties in Milan and Florence, including Four Seasons hotels, integrating floral design with architectural context and guest experience. Working with a skilled team, he enables large-scale concepts to unfold with precision, from conceptual development through execution.

These floral designers aren’t following trends — they’re creating them. Their work sets the visual language for modern weddings and continues to push the boundaries of scale, texture, color, and concept. If wedding florals are the soul of the celebration, then these are the artists writing its most beautiful chapters.
