Carmela’s Flower Company recently held a beautiful, styled shoot at Macca Villa. The shoot featured three of her floral collections, Classic White, Wildflower, and Something Blue, in three different locations at Macca Villa. It also honored Carmela’s daughter, A’ndrea, and her husband, Jimmy, on their 20th wedding anniversary in October 2023.
For the Classic White and Something Blue, A’ndrea wore a tiara with original pearls, a cherished family heirloom passed down through generations, which added a personal touch. This 66-year-old headpiece has been worn by Carmela’s mother in 1958, Carmela in 1981, A’ndrea in 2003, and Carmela’s youngest daughter in 2022. It symbolizes love and continuity across generations.
The shoot highlighted both the beauty of Carmela’s floral collections and the cherished traditions of her family.
Classic White Collection
The Bridal Portrait portion of this styled shoot showcased the “Classic White Collection,” which brings a timeless, elegant feel to a natural outdoor setting. White meadow flowers beautifully line the stone walls, creating a soft and romantic backdrop. The simplicity of the floral arrangements adds to the serene, peaceful atmosphere.
The bride, A’ndrea, wears a traditional lace gown with a flowing veil. Her bouquet of white tulips tied with a white ribbon is simple yet timeless, perfectly fitting the clean and minimalist aesthetic. The soft white flowers and understated decor create a peaceful and romantic atmosphere, ideal for any bride seeking a classic and elegant look for her wedding day.
Wildflower Collection
The Wildflowers Collection was displayed in an outdoor garden ceremony and reception. Carmela designed the ceremony flowers to create a half arch. Ground flowers completed the ceremony look. Floral arrangements lined the aisle, creating the feeling of walking through a meadow.
The outdoor table settings, adorned with ivory satin tablecloths, were decorated with exquisite floral centerpieces, floral plates, and floral napkins. A’ndrea looked stunning in a beautiful white lace gown and carried a lovely bouquet of dried wildflowers, which perfectly matched the floral decor around her. Jimmy looked very smart in his formal Army dress uniform, adding a dignified touch to the ceremony.
Something Blue Collection
The Something Blue Collection includes white peonies, white orchids, blue hydrangeas, blue roses, and white magnolias. This style captures classic sophistication set against the stunning backdrop of the Macca Villa. The ceremony space was elegant, featuring grand white columns adorned with a cascade of beautiful blue flowers, setting a serene and romantic tone.
Carmela’s Flower Company created a luxurious atmosphere for the reception with a floral arrangement of blue roses and peonies, complemented by lush moss and delicate fillers. Elegant glass vases held graceful orchids paired with blue candles and gleaming gold candlesticks to enhance the romantic ambiance.
The table setting was refined and stylish, with French-inspired blue and ivory napkins paired with ornate gold silverware. White tablecloths were highlighted with colonial blue chiffon runners, adding a touch of classic charm.
The bride, A’ndrea, wore a stunning light blue satin dress that perfectly matched the ceremony’s color scheme. Her bouquet, a sophisticated arrangement of white orchids, added a beautiful finishing touch. The groom, Jimmy, looked dashing in a grey suit with a blue shirt and black tie, complementing the overall elegance of the shoot.
