About

Panta Rhei Wedding

Every project starts with listening to the couple. Ideas, drawings and scenography follow, then the choice of flowers, fabrics, materials, lighting and furnishings. The studio looks after the whole event, from the first meeting through execution to logistics, and its own creative hub in Sicily holds a warehouse of antique pieces, candelabra, fabrics, design objects and original handmade items that appear in its tables and settings.

The work is Sicilian in setting and cinematic in mood. Past events include long candlelit tables in historic tonnaras, ceremonies on the beach with draped canopies, lawn receptions under festoon lights in Taormina, castle dinners with red linens and receptions in frescoed baroque rooms.

How it works

Step by step

1
First meeting
The couple talk through the dream, the story and the style they have in mind, and the team listens before any design begins.
2
Concept and design
Drawings, scenography, flower choices, fabrics, materials and lighting are developed into a concept built around the couple's taste and personality.
3
Venue and details
The team works with the chosen Sicilian venue and its suppliers, selecting furniture, candelabra, tableware and linens from the studio's own collection.
4
Production and logistics
The studio plans timing and logistics and builds the installations, florals, mise en place and lighting, supervised by the founders from brief to execution.
