Last week, I had the pleasure of attending the most exquisite press breakfast to launch Tricia Paoluccio’s highly anticipated collection, Domain of Flowerings. As someone captivated by the beauty of nature and the magic it can bring to weddings and events, this was an event I couldn’t miss. And let me tell you, it was nothing short of breathtaking.
Tricia Paoluccio is not just an artist, but a visionary. Known for her botanical designs, she rose to prominence when her pressed flower artwork caught the eye of Oscar de la Renta’s co-creative directors, Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia, who transformed her pieces into a runway collection of gowns and accessories for the brand’s Spring 2020 show. Since then, she’s collaborated with other iconic names including Tiffany & Co. and Taylor Swift, each project continuing her mission to celebrate the delicate elegance of nature. But to see her work in person and hear her story directly from her was truly inspiring.
Meeting Tricia Paoluccio
The morning began with an intimate breakfast gathering where we had the chance to meet Tricia herself. Her warm, gracious presence was just as captivating as her art. She shared her incredible journey—from growing up on an almond farm in California to becoming one of the most sought-after designers in the luxury world. It was evident that her passion for pressed botanicals goes far beyond a simple design aesthetic; it’s a deeply personal connection to nature that shines through in every piece she creates.
What struck me most was her authenticity. She didn’t just talk about her designs; she spoke about the process—how she carefully selects flowers at their peak, presses them using a refined technique, and transforms them into intricate works of art that capture nature’s beauty in stunning detail. Hearing about her journey from street artist to luxury designer made me appreciate her work even more.
The Domain of Flowerings Collection
After the introductions, we were given a closer look at the Domain of Flowerings collection, and let me tell you, the designs were even more stunning in person. The centrepiece of the event was the launch of the tableware collection—a series of porcelain pressed flower plates, including a cake platter, charger, dinner plates, and an oval serving platter. Each piece was delicately crafted in Europe, and I couldn’t help but marvel at how beautifully the pressed flowers were preserved.
I could already imagine how these tableware pieces would elevate a luxury wedding or event, bringing the elegance of nature right to your table. The designs feel fresh, yet timeless, and would make a perfect addition to any spring celebration. The attention to detail was impeccable—from the vibrant colours of the flowers to the soft, luxurious feel of the porcelain.
More Than Just Tableware
In addition to the stunning tableware, Domain of Flowerings also includes wallpaper, hand-knotted rugs, cashmere, and fine art prints. Every piece in the collection is a work of art that reflects Tricia’s unique style and deep love for nature. The luxury wallpaper, produced by a woman-owned company in NYC, is perfect for creating a statement wall in any high-end event space or home.
As we chatted over breakfast, Tricia revealed that each piece in the collection tells a story—a story of nature’s resilience and beauty. Whether it’s through the delicate petals of a pressed flower or the soft texture of her cashmere, her designs aim to bring nature’s elegance into our everyday lives.
Why This Collection Is Perfect for Weddings and Events
What truly excites me about the Domain of Flowerings collection is its potential to elevate any wedding or event. With spring just around the corner, these pieces would be perfect for an outdoor wedding or garden-inspired reception. Imagine a stunning tablescape adorned with Tricia’s pressed flower tableware, paired with delicate floral arrangements and nature-inspired décor. It’s the kind of design that speaks to the elegance of the natural world while offering a luxurious, timeless touch.
I can already envision how couples seeking a fresh, nature-infused look for their wedding would fall in love with these designs. Whether it’s a grand wedding in a luxury venue or an intimate celebration at home, Domain of Flowerings brings the magic of a blooming garden into every moment.
