Working with Ratti Flora on a Lake Como Wedding

When it comes to capturing the magic of a wedding, the details are so important. From the type of lace in a wedding gown to the candles. Though I think one of the most important details on a wedding day is the flowers. Florals are so impactful and I wanted to share my experience with working with one of the best Floral companies in Italy, Ratti Flora.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Ratti Flora, an amazing wedding floral company in Italy, We worked together on a stunning Lake Como Wedding in the summer of 2024. Their ability to transform a venue into a floral wonderland is incredible. The venue we worked at was Villa Erba on the southwest side of Lake Como and their passion for what they do is so high, you can’t help but realise how much they love doing what they do.

Why Ratti Flora Stands Out

What sets Ratti Flora apart isn’t just their stunning designs; it’s their dedication to bringing a couple’s vision to life. From the moment I stepped into Villa Erba for this particular Lake Como Wedding, I was amazed by their artistry. The way they blend colours, textures, and seasonal blooms creates an atmosphere that feels timeless yet fresh.

Their attention to detail is remarkable. Every bouquet, boutonniere, and centrepiece was thoughtfully crafted to complement the couple’s style and the overall theme of the wedding. For me as a photographer, this level of detail makes all the difference. Beautiful florals don’t just enhance the décor; they bring photographs to life, adding depth, colour, and emotion to every shot. They definitely made my job easier for sure! I love shooting the details of a wedding and tying in these images with the rest of the day. This floral company lends itself to editorial wedding photographers in a great way as their work is so glamorous.

The Wedding Collaboration

The couple wanted a romantic and elegant feel, and Ratti Flora delivered this vision to perfection. These guys don’t just bring flowers to your wedding. They are artists and if you’re planning a wedding in Italy then I’d be sure to check them out.

The ceremony backdrop was such a highlight—a stunning low floral arch that framed the couple beautifully as they exchanged vows. The soft, cascading blooms created the perfect setting for capturing emotional moments, and the natural light filtering through made every shot a dream. I always have plenty of wedding photo ideas during a wedding day but shooting the flowers is always fun.

During the reception, the tablescapes were nothing short of spectacular. Each table was adorned with lush arrangements that combined classic and modern elements, creating an inviting and luxurious ambience.

Behind the Scenes with Ratti Flora

Working alongside the team at Ratti Flora is always a seamless experience. Their professionalism and warm approach make them a joy to collaborate with. On the wedding day, their team worked tirelessly to ensure every arrangement was flawless, going above and beyond to create an unforgettable setting.

One of my favourite moments was watching them assemble the flowers and watching how they cared for the flowers. It was a really hot day and watching them cool the flowers down delicately and carefully was so nice to watch them caring about their craft. It was incredible to see their artistry in action, layering each bloom with such care. As a photographer, it’s a privilege to document not just the final results but also the hard work and passion that go into creating these masterpieces.

The Perfect Partnership

Photographers and florists share a unique synergy. Florals are such an integral part of the wedding aesthetic, and when they’re done beautifully, they elevate the entire gallery of images. From detailed shots of the bouquet to wide angles of the venue, Ratti Flora’s work consistently enhances the storytelling in my wedding photography.

Final Thoughts

Working with Ratti Flora is always an honour, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to document their incredible creations. If you’re planning a wedding in Italy and want floral designs that will take your breath away, I can’t recommend them enough.

Be sure to check out the images from this collaboration—each one is a testament to the magic that happens when creativity and passion come together.
