Funky Bird Wedding Design

Funky Bird Wedding Design plans and styles weddings from its base in Florence. Sonja, who leads the studio, specialises in bespoke celebrations in Tuscany, and each event is designed individually for the couple rather than drawn from a set format.

The first step is a conversation with the couple about their ideas and wishes. Together they look at what the chosen location and venue allow and, where possible, visit the sites in person. Sonja then sketches out proposals, including flowers, atmosphere, lighting and candles.

The team is fluent in English and Italian and has been based in Italy for many years, which suits international couples marrying abroad. Planning for a single wedding can take between 60 and 250 hours, covering timelines, floor plans, vendor meetings and the work on the day itself.

FunkyBird made our dreams come true

We had a verg good and smooth collaboration with FunkyBird throughout the entire process, starting from the discussion about our vision. They listened to all our wishes, and show very high flexibility when working the details of our moodboard. They succeeded to deliver ever detail and they managed to surprise us during the wedding day by exceeding our expectations

Clear, easy and reliable

Sonja is truly wonderful to work with. Communication was always clear, easy, and reliable throughout the planning process. Her style is beautiful and highly creative, with a strong eye for detail. The flowers and décor were perfectly coordinated and exceeded our expectations. A real highlight was the stunning floral arch, which we absolutely loved. Thank you for your beautiful work and dedication.

Beautiful beyond expectations

Sonja took care of the flowers at our wedding in Italy and it was absolutely beautiful beyond expectations. She made it look magical and fariytale-like and it was exactly how we wanted it. the whole process was very easy and smooth, even though we only saw/spoke to each other digitally until we met on the day itself. We would recommend her 100%!!! Thank you very much!

A dream to work with

Sonja and her team were a dream to work with for our destination wedding in Tuscany (September 2025). From the very moment we reached out, her communication was quick and professional. We shared photos of our ideas and she was able to put together a very organized and thorough presentation that captured our vision perfectly. The pricing on everything was easy to understand, transparent, and very fair for the quality of florals received. We ordered a flower arch for the altar, aisle meadows, aisle petals, bouquet / boutonnieres / corsages, and a greenery runner with florals for the wedding dinner table. She was also able to supply beautiful candles for the tablescape as well. Her team executed each piece flawlessly and we are so thankful to have worked with them. The florals and design truly brought our event to life! Thank you so much!!

Beautiful vision for my wedding florals

I highly recommend Sonja and her team. She is super organized and communicative and executed a beautiful vision for my wedding florals in May. She took in my input and created designs that suited the space and our preferences perfectly. She worked well with the venue and was able to be flexible on site as needed. She also helped with candles for the dining table and other decor. My bridal bouquet was simply stunning!
