Wedding Florist at Deering Estate | Aura Design Flowers
Deering Estate at Cutler is one of Miami's most treasured historic properties, a 444-acre bayfront estate that has been a gathering place since prehistoric times. As your wedding florist at Deering Estate, Aura Design Flowers creates organic, nature-inspired arrangements that honor the property's unique blend of history, ecology, and waterfront beauty.
With its limestone cliffs, hardwood hammocks, and sweeping views of Biscayne Bay, Deering Estate offers a wedding setting that feels worlds away from the city, yet sits just minutes from downtown Miami.
About Deering Estate
The Deering Estate was built in the 1920s by Charles Deering, brother of James Deering (who built Vizcaya). The property features two historic houses, the Richmond Cottage (1900) and the Stone House (1922), along with 444 acres of environmentally protected land including pine rocklands, tropical hardwood hammocks, and mangrove forests. The estate sits on a natural coral ridge overlooking Biscayne Bay.
Weddings at Deering Estate take place on the Great Lawn, beneath the ancient live oaks, or on the waterfront terrace. The venue accommodates 50 to 250 guests and attracts couples who value natural beauty, history, and eco-conscious celebrations.
Our Floral Approach at Deering Estate
At Deering Estate, our floral design celebrates the property's natural environment. We use wild-inspired arrangements with native-feeling florals, loose bouquets of garden roses, seasonal wildflowers, and textural greenery that complement the estate's oak canopy and bayfront landscape. Color palettes tend toward soft, earthy tones, sage, ivory, champagne, and dusty rose.
For Great Lawn ceremonies, we design freestanding arches wrapped in greenery and seasonal flowers that frame the bay view. Reception designs use natural materials, wood boxes, stone vessels, and brass candelabras, and low, organic centerpieces that don't obstruct the sweeping views or conversation flow.
