Opulent
Como
Wedding
BRIEF
Stood tall and creating the most breathtaking scenography as you prepare to say “I Do”, a pair of large, statement tree designs. One will be placed at the back of the stage, and one will be placed at the front, so as you look through an arch effect is realized, however breathing space to appreciate the iconic Lake Como view is also available. Each tree will be formed using white painted branches and adorned through the canopy using luscious white painted foliages and white florals from your chosen palette.
Suspended throughout the central atrium of the marquee, sculptural groupings using a range of exquisite textures will blend seamlessly with your overhead chandeliers and add much movement, depth and intimacy to the overall setting. Suspended at various heights and using hanging & draping elements, we will achieve a truly modern and unforgettable dining experience.
For a captivating white ceremony at the iconic Villa Balbiano on Lake Como, Larry Walshe, the luxury floral designer renowned for his innovative floral artistry, blended the timeless elegance of a white wedding with a bold, jungle-inspired aesthetic that took guests on a sensory journey. The ceremony space, set against the villa’s majestic architecture and overlooking the shimmering lake, was transformed with a striking juxtaposition of white flowers and lush, tropical foliage.
Soft white hydrangeas, roses, and orchids intertwined with rich greenery, including palms, ferns, and banana leaves, creating an ethereal yet exotic atmosphere. The resulting design was one of pure luxury, where the opulence of the florals and the natural elements of the jungle intertwined seamlessly, evoking both an air of sophistication and the wild beauty of nature. The vibrancy of the greenery added depth and texture, drawing the eye upward and around the ceremony space in a way that made every corner feel alive and inviting.
As guests moved into the dining space, Walshe’s jungle-inspired florals took center stage once again, shifting the mood to one of dramatic, lush elegance. Long, banquet-style tables were adorned with a mix of white florals and cascading tropical greenery, creating the effect of a jungle paradise brought indoors. The florals—arranged in bold, sculptural forms—were complemented by leafy vines that meandered across the tables, while tall palm fronds and delicate orchids seemed to reach toward the sky, giving the room a sense of wild, untamed beauty.
The natural light of the Lake Como setting played beautifully with the design, highlighting the contrast between the purity of the white flowers and the deep, rich greens of the foliage. The entire dining experience was immersive, evoking both the serenity of a white wedding and the untamed spirit of a jungle retreat, all within the luxurious and breathtaking setting of Villa Balbiano. The night unfolded like a dream, where nature’s elegance and luxury met in perfect harmony.
