Larry Walshe, the renowned luxury floral designer, infused Villa Balbiano on Lake Como with a fresh and timeless elegance for a white wedding that celebrated both simplicity and sophistication. For this breathtaking event, Walshe chose green hydrangeas as the focal flower, blending their soft, mossy tones with white blooms to create a serene yet vibrant atmosphere.
The lush, full-bodied hydrangeas framed the villa’s historic architecture, their subtle green hues adding an unexpected pop of color while retaining the romantic, ethereal quality of the celebration. As guests arrived at the villa, the view of the shimmering lake and the surrounding mountains was reflected in the cascading arrangements, which softened the grandeur of the venue with their organic beauty. Each floral composition felt like a seamless extension of the natural landscape, perfectly harmonizing with the surroundings.
As the evening unfolded, Walshe’s design took on a new life, with green hydrangeas continuing to play a central role in the reception decor. The dinner tables were adorned with low, elegant arrangements that featured the hydrangeas alongside white roses, peonies, and delicate foliage, creating a lush, textural feel. The soft green tones of the hydrangeas provided a sophisticated contrast against the white florals, while the soft glow of candlelight reflected off the flowers, casting an intimate and magical atmosphere over the event.
Throughout the villa’s opulent gardens and luxurious reception spaces, Walshe’s expert use of green hydrangeas elevated the experience, evoking a sense of timelessness and refined beauty that complemented the enchanting setting of Villa Balbiano. The end result was a wedding that felt both effortlessly chic and deeply romantic, capturing the spirit of Lake Como’s natural beauty in every carefully crafted detail.
