The Italian-influenced romantic architecture tends to lend itself to photoshoots, particularly outfit shoots (heeey bloggers) - though be sure to ask permission first if you're visiting a private garden! You'll often see people walking around with a DSLR around their neck, as many Italianate gardens can and do attract amateur photographers of all ages, thanks to the mass of photo opportunities. Learning your craft? Italianate gardens are filled with unusual flowers and stunning features to practice on. Think along the lines of: symmetrical topiary, dramatic water displays and bold statuary.
With a Bank Holiday Weekend approaching, now is the time to track down an Italian influenced garden near you! Speaking of which, how do you feel about Italianate gardens? As always, hugely looking forward to reading your thoughts!

I understand the love because I also share a fascination with gardens :) There is so much one can enjoy and appreciate in them and they can be such an ideal spot for picnics if permitted as well. Italianate gardens are one of my favorite styles. We do have some in NYC but most are more simple in style. I'm very fortunate to live in a complex with a garden downstairs which I love to hang out in. And how lucky are you to have so many fabulous gardens to visit Gabrielle!
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty photos Gab!

I love the looks of these gardens! Italian style gardens are some of my favourites. We're so lucky to have one nearby. Unfortunately, they're really not cheap to get into but we got an annual pass using Tesco clubcard vouchers so we can have lots of nice walks and take plenty of photos for the year! x

Ahh! I love gardens and I can easily spend a day just wandering around and admiring all the trees and plants. But sadly, there aren't many in London and the parks are so crowded that it's anything but peaceful. Also, so glad to have discovered your blog. Such a breath of fresh air!

I always admire the beauty and landscape of the gardens you feature on your blog and this one is no exception, absolutely gorgeous! We don't have many gardens around the NYC area here in the states, though we have the popular Botanical Gardens, which I've yet to visit, but plan on doing so in a couple of months with my little. Thanks for sharing, beauty, and I hope you're having a great week so far!

Oh what a beautiful garden to explore! I don't think we have anything like this in Brisbane, with all of the droughts! We have the botanical gardens I guess but they don't really have pretty architecture too.

These are lovely gardens indeed. You've captured it perfectly. The landscaping is always one of my favourite things to view when visiting places like this. I have such an apreciation for gardens and structure around them because my grandfather was an architect and had a huge garden he beautified. x/Madison

I love Italianate gardens especially columns - there is something so Grand about them! I'd never thought about visiting gardens for a photography shoot - thank you for the inspiration Gabrielle and can I just say how much I adore your coral too?!! Xx

ReplyDeleteThis place is so so lovely- very magical - You look stunning GAbrielle - like always xx
ReplyDeleteThe gardens are gorgeous! They remind of those historical gardens in ancient literature. You are lucky that it is so accessible to you. I would love to get the chance to visit a garden like this. Most of the gardens here looks a bit 'artificial' to be honest.

These gardens look absolutely amazing and so beautiful. After visiting Huntington Gardens in LA earlier this year, I have also developed a love for visiting similar places and will definitely have to add this one to my list of places to go! :) x
ReplyDeleteThose gardens Gabrielle are so spectacular. That's what I love about Europe. You can just walk and walk through each and get magically lost in their beauty.

Oh, you are definitely not alone! I'm always fascinated by gardens, too, although I have to admit that personally I'm not really good gardner. But I watch gardens wherever I am and I love also the garden you show here. And your look is also fantastic!
