DIY: how to make a XMAS garland with Fiorile!
A DIY Christmas wreath, here is the idea of Fiorile to help you realize a crown and then hang it on your doorstep or arrange it as a centerpiece for your party lunches!
Monday, December 10 we’ll see you in Via Santo Spirito in Florence to teach you in a few hours to choose the right flowers and branches to build a Christmas wreath, choosing the details that match the style of your home.
There can be many ideas to make your wreath unforgettable, you can choose to use the fruit, along with spices, arrange berries of various kinds along with the branches of conifers but also choose candles and small colored balls.
A real tutorial but live with us, to learn a part of our work in a different way!
If you are interested call us by phone or send an email to info@fiorile.it, places are limited!
A candlelit party
When you have a location like Castello di Vincigliata on the hills of Fiesole – a few kilometers from Florence – create a set for a party, turns into a real event.
This is what we did for Erin Quinlan Quiros, the creator of Casa Q, a consulting firm for interior design and home entertainment.
She has been living in Florence for some years and she has asked our team to organize her party. We were inspired by the castle and by the large windows that dialogue with the outside.
The atmosphere had to be inspired by the fairy light of the candles so we created large candelabras with branches, flowers and small glass bubbles where we placed the little candles, a motif then taken up for the table and in the various corners of the location.
A perfect mix that transformed the evening into an enchanted fairytale.
An Autumn’s tale
Playing with Shakespeare our “Autumn story” begins with colors. From the foliage and the wonderful colors of the fallen leaves, inside our space in Via Santo Spirito in Florence, everything remembers the shades of orange, ochre, burnt, undergrowth green, ancient pink, white.
This is the month of Halloween but for us some small or big white pumpkin (definitely more beautiful than the classic orange one!) – a shabby chic trend – characterizes not only one of the most popular holiday of recent years but also the autumn atmosphere.
The right place to create a set for this season? Around the fireplace, of course if you own it, but especially in the kitchen or in a corner of the living room using some candles to break the mood.
Also for our bouquets we use these nuances, combining and mixing them together with violet and bordeaux flowers for a decidedly warm and elegant result.
London calling!
Creating a bouquet for McQueen was a real surprise for us.
It was enough to read the email to understand that it was the famous fashion brand, asking us to prepare a “wild but classic” bouquet to be delivered to their “mysterious” guest in Florence.
We got to work and we sent a photo to get their ok. After a while, our bouquet was on the way to be delivered.
We continue to get excited, maybe this is our secret when we work on a flowering creation like the one we did for McQueen, what counts for us is always the emotion!
Here in Florence inside our shop it’s easy to find the right inspiration among huge flowered vases, shelves full of design objects for our installations while outside there is a garden to give birth to new ideas … like the one that we have made for London!
Happy holidays!
And finally we arrived at the holidays but we are ready to start again in September with new ideas and projects.
In these months we have worked to meet the needs of our customers and create dream installations in Tuscany and abroad, we have transformed the most luxurious hotel lobbies and emphasized the image of prestigious Boutiques.
For us they were unique moments not only with big projects but also when we made a bouquet, a centerpiece for a romantic dinner or a layout for a garden party. Our projects always combine creativity, expertise and style and our watchword is uniqueness.
See you again in September to share new ideas in the name of elegance and savoir faire!
A flower shop that turns in concept store
Fiorile is a floral store where you enter to buy a bouquet and discover new worlds. This is the destiny of the shop in Via Santo Spirito in Florence, in Oltrarno the coolest area of the city.
The most up-to-date florists are today real concept stores where different activities are coexisting and in continuous movement, able of running multiple universes around the flower design.
Now Fiorile is the center of gravity of many activities and a location with a slightly retro French mood that proposes alongside flowers, alternative experiences such as choosing a design object, planning a wedding in Tuscany but also organizing a party abroad.
Here, every day, the environment is furnished with fresh flowers always on sale, the goal of Sandra Ceni, owner and creative mind of the store, is to direct the customer through a journey of exploration given by a set of suggestions arising from both products exposed, both from the care of the service.
But a few steps from Via Santo Spirito on Lungarno Guicciardini 9R, recently Fiorile has contributed to the birth of a new synergy with Studio Puck – specializing in furnishing items with an unmistakable style – and Area – interior design studio – inaugurating the Serendipity showroom.
This new adress for design addicted (and not only) with its innovative spirit is a design concept store dedicated to interior design and floral arrangement especially for luxury retail and hotellerie but also for private residences around the world.
In short, it is worth taking a look, as well as flowers and sophisticated compositions, here are also special items in limited edition.
Serendipity, the right address for your floral and interior design project
Fiorile is not just a floral design shop, Sandra Ceni has always livened up her store of Via Santo Spirito in Florence, with new collaborations such as that with Studio Puck and Studio Area.
On June 24th – the day in which Florence celebrate its patroin saint San Giovanni with the famous fireworks that illuminate all the Lungarnos – it will be the opening of Serendipity, the new showroom born from the union between Fiorile, Studio Puck – wunderkammer of objects , furnishings, vases inspired by antique prints – and Studio Area, a well-known interior architecture firm that has always been linked to the world of luxury and the great hotel industry.
The idea behind Serendipity, a big space located inside the historic Palazzo Barocchi in Florence on Lungarno Guicciardini 9R, is to offer a place where you can find objects suddenly looking at a window, discovering something beautiful and unexpected that makes us happy (this is the reason for a name like Serendipity!).
In short, Serendipity is the right address where curious and design addicted can buy everything from floral arrangements to furniture and accessories but also find a group of professionals able to carry out complete interior design projects, suggesting a shopping experience really special.
