European Elegance Meets Miami Flair

Amberly’s vision, as she describes it, is “a harmonious blend of European sophistication and the inherent romance of Vizcaya’s gardens.” Think rich jewel tones – blue, plum, and caramel – adding depth and warmth to the celebration.

A Story Told in Every Detail

The bride’s Mira Zwillinger gown, with its intricate details, complements the enchanting surroundings beautifully. The groom’s custom Tom Ford suit exudes sophistication, while heirloom floral jewelry adds a personal touch. “The bride and groom, enveloped in the romance of the day, shared tender moments that transcended the ordinary, creating memories that would be etched in their hearts forever,” Amberly says.

Tablescapes Fit for Royalty

Nuage linens in luxurious textures set the stage for a truly elegant affair. Delicate details on the tabletop settings echo European grandeur, while vibrant Estelle glassware adds a touch of sophistication. The floral arrangements by Mibellarosa are a visual feast, bringing the chosen color palette to life. “My favorite aspects of the shoot?” photographer Leah says, “Oh my goodness I fell in love with the salt and pepper bowls on the table. They blended in seamlessly!” It’s these thoughtful touches that elevate the experience for couples and their guests.

An Intimate Gathering, Big on Love

With just 24 guests, the ceremony is a deeply personal exchange of vows. Perfect weather adds another layer of magic, as soft sunlight bathes the gardens in a warm glow. This styled shoot is proof that a destination wedding doesn’t have to mean going to faraway locations. “You don’t have to leave the US to have the look of a private estate or villa from Tuscany,” Leah says. Miami offers a wealth of talented vendors, like those who brought this vision to life, to create a wedding that’s both beautiful and unique.
