Featured DC Vendor: Volanni
Last week I visited Capitol Hill in DC to check out a wonderful wedding vendor. Volanni is a fantastic 5-year-old floral decor company and I was shocked that I hadn’t met with them earlier! Michael Lanni and Lisa Abdou create some phenomenally gorgeous pieces of floral art for events. I especially liked their philosophy on honesty and integrity within the wedding industry. They source eco-friendly and organic flowers whenever possible and are maintaining responsible business practices. It’s a company you can feel good about working with!
Here’s my visit to the shop. The big wooden doors fit perfectly with the urban vibe:

Stepping inside, a totally different feel! Michael’s there in the center, Lisa off to the left, and one of their floral designers hiding off to the right. I had to point him out since he was shy about having his picture taken. Do you see him?

Volanni has an extensive collection of unique vases and vessels:

I could rave and rave all day but the pictures really speak for themselves. Check out some of their designs:

Check out the size of these peonies!




They have a rather extensive collection of vases and props, like this gorgeous chuppah. Even if you’re not Jewish I think this piece is a great focal point for a ceremony:



I was particularly head over heels for this arrangement, which I saw in their shop. It’s so vibrant, textural and simply lush. I love how the color combination is unexpected but cohesive. It looks like it popped out of an Anthropologie store. I keep seeing something new every time I look at it:

Gorgeous, no? Check out their website for more inspiration! I like how their style is edgy and modern in some cases but can also lean on the romantic/eclectic side. If you’re looking for a florist, please tell them I sent you. You can email Michael or Lisa or give them a call at 202-547-1603.
