Amour de Gitane

08/22/2026

Since moving to Italy, I’ve made it my personal mission to win more and more hearts with garden design at every wedding.

Natural, airy, slightly untamed arrangements… as if the flowers had just been gathered from a secret garden. Could it be that there are still so few of us who love this style? I would happily dive right into this delicate bouquet! 🫠

Tell me: are you team Amour de Gitane ___wild, romantic, organic and colorful or are you still flirting with the “modern” calla lilies Pinterest look? Don’t worry, we can still be friends 🌼

When I feel sad, I just open my camera roll and watch all the videos of my friends working with me. 🫶🏻

Work isn’t just work. It’s not only passion for what you do. Work is people. 💕

Being in a healthy, fun environment is the best thing I could ever ask for.

2025 was full of people who worked so hard for me, and I’m endlessly grateful. My garage and my sleepy Wolfy collaborator were the frame of almost every event.

And while watching all these 2025 videos, I realized something: I was really bad at recording the fun moments.

A lot of people are missing because I forgot to take videos __so this is my new goal for 2026:
To slow down. To capture more.

In my shirt era — fully embracing the matchy-matchy vibes with flowers.
Honestly, my wardrobe has slowly transformed into a garden of embroidery over the past 10 years. 🌸

Botanical centerpieces that dance on every table.

Loose, textured, full of movement—like little gardens having their own quiet moment at the party.
I love when flowers aren’t too stiff or too structured. When they breathe a little. That’s where the magic is.

Daffodils always show up early—too early for most of my wedding work—so I rarely get to play with them the way I’d like to.

This arrangement was a gift to myself, and such a sweet reminder of how much I love them. 💛

Buddleia ‘Honeycomb’ is one of my fave summer blooms to design with. That soft yellow? Subtle, glowy, and never trying too hard.

True to its name, it’s a honeycomb of activity in summer—bees, butterflies, maybe even a hummingbird if you’re lucky. I used it last October for a wedding and the bees were having the time of their lives.
My centerpieces were definitely pollinator-friendly without making a big deal about it (or bothering anyone). Just doing their job—quietly beautiful, soft yellow, full of movement.

One of those blooms I’ll always grab when it’s in season. 🐝

My very first shoot in Italy.
It took place in a location I’ve always adored—tucked away in the heart of the Dolomites.

Looking back at the flowers, there are so many things I would do differently now. But the magic of that day still lingers.

It felt a little like Alice in Wonderland: soft early spring tones, a gardeny mood, and all the good intentions of someone just starting out in this beautiful world of flowers.

The beauty of an arrangement doesn’t come from rare blooms. It comes from a deep understanding of color, balance, and all the little tricks you only learn through experience. This bouquet is the right example.

And mine? It comes from years of hard work — freelancing with talented studios, making mistakes, taking workshops, running tests, staying up late, and honestly… failing.

I launched my first fashion brand straight out of university. I thought I was strong, bold, and ready. But the truth is — I was just too proud. I couldn’t accept the idea of working for 300€ a month in Milan. So I skipped the learning part. And I failed.

That failure became my greatest teacher. It humbled me. It taught me to slow down, to listen, to observe, to show up and do the work.
So when I started my floral journey, I did it differently — with patience, with curiosity, with heart and humble open mind.

Because no — it’s not only about what you can buy.
It’s about what you can build — with your hands, your vision, your eyes, and your creativity.

This month marks a special moment: my anniversary.
Cheers to the hardest, most beautiful decision I’ve ever made — moving to San Francisco and starting over, from zero.

Thank you to everyone who believes in me.
I don’t share this to sound arrogant — but to remind you (and myself): it’s the work behind the beauty that truly matters
