Wedding Florist at Vizcaya Museum & Gardens | Aura Design Flowers
Vizcaya Museum & Gardens is one of Miami's most iconic wedding venues, and Aura Design Flowers has had the privilege of bringing countless floral visions to life within its Renaissance-inspired walls and lush formal gardens. As a dedicated wedding florist at Vizcaya, we understand how to complement the estate's grandeur with arrangements that feel both timeless and personal.
Built in 1916 as industrialist James Deering's winter residence, Vizcaya offers couples a rare combination of European elegance, subtropical gardens, and Biscayne Bay waterfront views. Every corner of this National Historic Landmark provides a breathtaking backdrop for wedding florals, from the Italian Renaissance courtyard to the secret garden.

About Vizcaya Museum & Gardens
Vizcaya Museum & Gardens is a 50-acre estate on the shores of Biscayne Bay in Coconut Grove. The villa features 34 decorated rooms filled with European antiques spanning the 15th through 19th centuries, while the formal gardens draw inspiration from Italian and French landscape design. Couples who choose Vizcaya are drawn to its old-world sophistication, dramatic architecture, and the unforgettable experience of exchanging vows surrounded by centuries of artistry.
The venue offers multiple ceremony and reception settings including the East Terrace overlooking the bay, the Italianate formal gardens, and the grand interior rooms. With its ornate stone balustrades, sculpted fountains, and canopy of tropical foliage, Vizcaya demands floral design that rises to its level of beauty without competing with the architecture.
Our Floral Approach at Vizcaya Museum & Gardens
At Vizcaya, Aura Design Flowers takes a refined, architectural approach to floral styling. We work with the venue's existing color palette of warm stone, weathered marble, and lush tropical greens to create arrangements that feel like natural extensions of the estate itself. Our designers select blooms that echo the garden's plantings, gardenias, orchids, jasmine, and trailing bougainvillea, blended with classic European roses and seasonal accents.
For ceremonies on the East Terrace, we design ceremony arches and floral installations that frame the bay view without obstructing it. In the formal gardens, we use pedestal arrangements and trailing greenery that complement the fountain sculptures. Reception centerpieces balance tall, dramatic candelabra designs with intimate low arrangements to maintain conversation flow while honoring Vizcaya's sense of grandeur.
