FH Events created the bride’s bouquet to add color to the neutral and greenery palette of the formal gardens at Vizcaya. Rich burgundy peonies, darker plum hellebore, preserved ferns, and ruffled white flowers created a bold splash of color to stand out against the coral stone that gives the garden’s follies and casinos their Old World appearance.

Laura Reynolds Artistry chose to complement the bride’s beauty, keeping her fresh face and natural curls the centerpoint to her wedding day look. Subtle fawns, taupes, and pinks gave her a loving glow while the wind played with her hair as this couple explored the gardens for their portrait session.

Look familiar? A popular spot for weddings and photo shoots, the gardens have also hosted movies like Iron Man 3 and Ace Ventura! The historic estate celebrates conservation of history and nature alike, with sweeping views of Biscayne Bay.
