It Was a Truly Special Chapter
From the glass marquee at Lake Como, where billowing clouds of gypsophila adorned the scene, to the enchanting wedding backdrop crafted in Oxfordshire. Throughout the year, our creative team wove flower magic for many events, transforming venues worldwide into breathtaking showcases of natural beauty. Let's take a leisurely stroll through some of the highlights of 2023 at Wild at Heart Europe.
Whimsical Vow Renewal at Lake Como
2023 saw two extraordinary celebrations on the shores of Lake Como, Italy. Our flowers adorned the spectacular Villa Balbiano, where Cissy and Donnie rejoiced in their 20th anniversary, and then the beautifully elegant Villa Pizzo, where we celebrated Donnie's 60th birthday.
At the onset of the vow renewal ceremony, a cloud-like meadow of roses adorned the top of the aisle, creating a stunning backdrop. The transformation continued in the glass orangery, the setting for the dinner, where bespoke linen, flower beds of tumbling seasonal blooms, lattice panels, and elegant urns combined to evoke an enchanting atmosphere. The soft colours harmonized seamlessly, enhancing the overall ambiance and complementing the breathtaking views.
For this Italy-inspired celebration that took place at the Villa Pizzo, we adorned the garden path and seating areas with vibrant painted buckets and baskets. Inside the glass marquee, clouds of Gypsophila formed a centerpiece in lively hues, accompanied by a blue mirrored dance floor and a gold personalised crest – a perfect sign-off to the magical memories created.
End of Summer Luncheon at The Lanesborough
Summer’s end marked the inspiration for a luncheon to remember at The Lanesborough Hotel, orchestrated by event planner Antoinette Lettieri, alongside Ruth Kaye Design. After months of meticulous planning by our dedicated team, the passion, creativity, and hard work of the final event was such a joy to witness. Bringing together and meeting countless inspiring individuals within our industry was a truly incredible experience.
Midsummer Dream Wedding at Oxfordshire
We often find ourselves musing on Felicity Bird and Oscar's enchanting wedding in a family home. Our flowers adorned the aisle with blue delphiniums, chamomile, and foliage, extending the theme to the altar. The reception featured a captivating staircase focal point for timeless pictures, and tables were adorned with a delightful mix of summer flowers. The day was a picturesque celebration, marked by floral elegance and lasting memories.
Celebrating 10 Years of Sidemen
We are honoured to have been a part of Sidemen's 10 Year Anniversary Gala at the spectacular One Marylebone, working alongside Krystal Rodriguez and Faye Scott-Maberley. The floral clouds were mixed with amaranthus to bring texture, for an exciting and striking focal display for the room. As we made our way upstairs, fabulous silver palm trees and glitter balls surrounded the space, beautifully complimenting each display.
Transforming Bicester Village
Unveiling our stunning landscaping revamp at Bicester Village, we transformed this shopping haven into a vibrant and picturesque oasis, bringing the magic of Wild at Heart Europe to the midst of the Oxfordshire countryside.
The journey began in 2026 when Bicester Village sought to enhance its already charming surroundings. With our reputation for crafting botanical creations, it was a natural choice for this collaboration. Wild at Heart Europe embarked on this project with a vision to infuse the shopping village with the beauty of nature.
An Awe-Ispiring Wedding at Cliveden House
In a dramatic moment, skies opened on the ceremony just as Lovi met Monty at the end of the aisle. The scene was filled with stunning urns framing the aisle. Deconstructed runners of hand made ceramic vases adored the tables, filled with seasonal flowers, infusing the room with a serene and romantic atmosphere.
Winter Wonderland Wedding at The Lanesborough
Within the refined atmosphere of The Lanesborough's Belgravia Room, our team crafted captivating wedding flowers for a stunning couple. Soft pink hydrangeas, fragrant roses, and seasonal greenery harmonized to create a graceful and romantic atmosphere. Delicate gypsophila spiraled around candelabra bases, adding a touch of charm to the visual symphony of colors and textures. An unforgettable celebration unfolded, epitomizing elegance and love in every detail.
We are grateful to have been a part of these extraordinary events and look forward to bringing even more magic to your special moments in 2024.
