All day Wedding Flowers, one of the courses Silviadeifiori most loved, has landed in Sicily! This is thanks to the initiative launched and promoted by Valeria La Rocca of Phatos of Pietraperzia.
Valeria, stimulated and enthusiastic, after participating in the “Lo stile naturale” course in Rome, decided to bet on her beloved Sicily and proposed that I launch a “pilot project” and try to propose a day entirely dedicated to flowers for the wedding decorations.
How can I say no to her? Let's try!
And so it was, when I landed in Catania I was welcomed by the affection and kindness of Valeria and Giuseppe, her husband.
In just a few hours, a special empathy emerged... especially with Giuseppe, who supported me and indulged my every creative whim.
And so off we went! Giuseppe and I, under Valeria's slightly perplexed gaze, like Bonnie & Clyde, set off in search of local materials that could help make the course a success... yes, because the course aimed to teach basic techniques and ideas, but it was also essential for me that the soul of Sicily be present, felt in our work.
And so the sour taste of lemons could be felt in the air, in our mouths, in our creations…
Greens in many shades have helped us bring dynamism and life to every project...as always, the biggest thanks go to nature!
The atmosphere that developed between me and the participants, and among the participants themselves, was filled with a desire to share and receive, a sense of camaraderie, and constructive enthusiasm. Each of us had our own story to tell—fascinating stories, as always—but how much do I learn from you? I can't say it enough!
You are my energy, my motivation. How can I not be deeply grateful? I want to thank you, one by one:
Lidia, Vanessa, Rosy, Adalgisa, Marcella, Mary, Angy, Alessandra!
Thanks to Valeria La Rocca for never giving up, despite some initial difficulties, thank you for opening the doors of wonderful Sicily to me!
I'll end with a little preview... Valeria is already working on a new project as ambitious as it is beautiful. I hope it comes to fruition because it's truly special, and I, always with my suitcase packed, am just waiting for her to say "Go!"
See you soon, beloved Sicily!
