Flowers for Polimoda graduation in Florence — laurel wreath and bouquet

Polimoda is one of the most respected fashion schools in the world, and every year hundreds of students from dozens of countries complete their studies in Florence. If you are looking for flowers to celebrate a graduation or diploma at Polimoda — whether you are a family member who has just arrived in the city or a friend who wants to make a meaningful gesture — this is the right place.

The laurel wreath: an Italian tradition worth knowing

In Italy, the laurel wreath is the symbol of academic achievement. It appears in graduation photos across generations — a simple, recognisable object with deep symbolic roots. If you come from outside Italy and have never encountered this tradition, it is good to know that bringing a laurel wreath to the graduate is one of the most common and appreciated gestures at Italian graduation ceremonies.

At Polimoda, where most students come from outside Italy, the laurel wreath can also become a memento of Florentine tradition — something that tells the story of the city where you studied, not just an accessory for photographs.

What to choose for a fashion student

Polimoda students have a trained eye. They work every day with materials, proportions, colours, and details. For this reason, it is worth choosing something that is genuinely well made — not an off-the-shelf wreath bought at the last minute, but a composition prepared with fresh laurel and attention to detail.

For someone who studies fashion, the most appreciated versions tend to be those with something extra beyond the classic wreath: a few seasonal flowers, berries, or a more contemporary coroncina with mixed blooms. That said, a classic wreath — well made with real laurel and a ribbon — has its own timeless elegance that never goes out of style.

If you also want to bring a bouquet, you can be a little bolder than you might for a formal occasion: vivid colours, less conventional arrangements, seasonal flowers combined in unexpected ways. In the studio we are used to thinking this through — tell us the atmosphere you want to create and we will find the right solution together.

Coming from outside Florence? Here is how it works

If you have travelled to Florence specifically for the ceremony and do not know the city well, the simplest option is to order online at fiorit.it and choose pick-up at the studio in Via Mario Roselli Cecconi 29/r–31/r. You collect when it suits you, everything is ready in your hands, and you are not dependent on delivery schedules.

If you prefer home delivery within Florence, it is already included in the price — just enter the address and the date when you place your order.

When to order

Polimoda diploma sessions are concentrated in specific periods, particularly in June and in autumn. During those weeks the studio works on multiple orders at the same time, and in June fresh laurel tends to be in short supply on the market — it is still young and tender at that time of year. Those who order at least three or four days in advance have more choice and a better wreath. Those who wait until the last moment risk finding limited availability.

If you are not sure about timing, get in touch directly — we will tell you straight away what is possible.
