Behind The Brand\u2026<\/h2>\nWhat was the initial spark for your brand, how did it all begin?<\/h3>\n
I started my career in Milan, organizing major international concerts. Later, I managed the Italian budget for a luxury cosmetics multinational, liaising with the New York headquarters. However, I missed the events world. During the 2008-2009 economic crisis, I decided to invest in myself and pivot to private events, as companies were struggling. My studies in public relations, advertising, and interior design further fueled my passion. What I loved most was combining my organizational skills and love for numbers with my creative and aesthetic passions.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
What services do you offer couples?<\/h3>\n
As a planner and designer, I\u2019m all about the perfect balance of precision and creativity. From meticulously managing budgets to flawlessly executing every detail, I ensure nothing is overlooked. Yet, my work is also fueled by an insatiable curiosity and a drive for innovation. I believe in crafting weddings that are as unique as the couples themselves, reflecting their essence and vision, all while staying within budget constraints. My approach blends structured organization with boundless creativity, guided by continuous research and a deep understanding of my clients\u2019 desires.<\/p>\n
Additionally, I offer a comprehensive planning service where we scout all suppliers, not only for the wedding day but also for related events. For us, the concept of experience is paramount; the entire weekend should be a unique and memorable experience. We manage the couple\u2019s budget, event timing, coordination, and of course, all aspects of wedding design and creativity. Plus, we\u2019re supported by an external team of architects and bridal assistants.<\/p>\n
How would you describe your aesthetic?<\/h3>\n
I draw inspiration from everything around me\u2014nature, architecture, interior design. There\u2019s always a cross-contamination of ideas. While I observe trends, I don\u2019t believe in blindly following them. Instead, I focus on creating a space that truly reflects and comforts the couple. It\u2019s about making that space cool and intriguing. At the core of every design is the desire to provide a unique experience not only for the couple but also for their guests.<\/p>\n
As a planner or stylist, what are you inspired by at the moment in the world of weddings?
\nI spend my winters visiting design expos\u2014furniture, lighting, textiles. My dad, a bonsai master, instilled in me a deep appreciation for balance and beauty. His meticulous pursuit of aesthetics has always guided me. Lately, I\u2019m drawn to unique patterns and bold combinations, but only if they make sense within the project\u2019s context<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
What would you like to see less of?<\/h3>\n
I crave less dull projects, lacking depth and research. Too often, we see setups devoid of soul, mass-produced as if curiosity in creating something new has vanished. Let\u2019s remember, everyone attending a wedding weekend is experiencing a unique and irreplaceable event. It\u2019s our mission to ensure these days leave them with unforgettable memories, making it one of the best weekends they\u2019ve ever had.<\/p>\n
A styling\/planning tip or two you\u2019ve learned along the way that you\u2019d give to any couple?<\/h3>\n
When you kickstart the creative process, immerse yourselves in the event\u2019s setting. Look around, take a deep breath, activate your senses, and feel the vibe. Harness the nature surrounding you, infuse it into your tables, your ceremony, everything you create. That\u2019s how you achieve a perfectly balanced design. Keep an open mind, dare to think outside the box. Remember something that amazed you, surprised you, and strive to evoke that same feeling with your design.<\/p>\n

Editor\u2019s Notes\u2026<\/h2>\nWhy we love them\u2026<\/h3>\n
