The bride chose wildflowers including daisies, baby’s breath, and zinnias for her floral and decor. She wanted to incorporate her vision of a Springtime Italian Dinner Party Wedding. They wanted to enhance the beautiful lush landscape of the Vizcaya Museum And Gardens. They added a personal touch of color with our wildflowers along the aisles and scattered petals throughout.
