Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden in Coral Gables is a paradise for couples seeking a wedding surrounded by nature's finest creations. As your wedding florist at Fairchild, Aura Design Flowers draws inspiration from the garden's extraordinary collection of tropical plants, palms, and flowering trees to create arrangements that feel organically woven into this living landscape.
Spanning 83 acres, Fairchild is one of the world's premier tropical botanical gardens, offering couples a setting unlike any other in South Florida. The garden's winding paths, vine-covered pergolas, and shimmering lakes provide endless possibilities for ceremony and reception floral design.
Founded in 1938 and named after renowned plant explorer David Fairchild, the garden houses one of the most comprehensive collections of tropical plants in the world. The venue offers several distinct event spaces including the Lakeside Terrace, the Overlook, the Palmetum Pavilion, and the stunning Wings of the Tropics conservatory. Wedding guests are immersed in a world of rare palms, tropical fruit trees, butterfly gardens, and exotic flowering plants.
Fairchild provides a naturally lush backdrop that reduces the need for excessive décor while offering intimate garden rooms for ceremonies and open-air pavilions for receptions. The venue typically accommodates weddings from 50 to 300 guests depending on the selected area.
Our approach at Fairchild embraces the garden's tropical character. Rather than competing with the surrounding landscape, we design florals that amplify its beauty, using orchid varieties that complement the garden's collection, tropical foliage that echoes the canopy overhead, and vibrant accent blooms that add pops of color against the lush green setting.
For Lakeside Terrace ceremonies, we create ground-level arrangements and ceremony arch designs that incorporate tropical greenery and exotic blooms. Reception centerpieces often feature bold tropical flowers like proteas, anthuriums, heliconias, and bird of paradise paired with softer garden roses and ranunculus for balance. We also design suspended floral installations for the pavilion spaces that create a sense of being enveloped by the garden.
At Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, Aura Design Flowers offers a full suite of wedding floral services tailored to the venue's unique character:
