Miami Wedding Inside Beautiful, Secret Gardens | Ariel & Joshua

I recently had the honor of photographing Ariel and Joshua’s Miami Wedding at the most breathtaking tropical venue, Secret Gardens Miami! Everywhere you looked you saw lush greenery, intentionally designed decor, and, of course, smiling faces.

This wedding was a fairytale brought to life – Miami style!

What Made This Miami Wedding Venue Stand Out…

Secret Gardens Miami was the perfect venue for couples hoping for a Florida wedding that is tropical but not “beachy”. As I’ve said in past posts, Florida has so much more to offer than just it’s shore and surf!

The expansive gardens of this venue show off Florida’s jungle and even wildlife. I loved the white swans that were often seen floating in the pond right next to Ariel and Joshua’s ceremony site. This venue has perfect outdoor photo spots (a wedding photographer’s dream) and the beautiful indoor spaces provide additional areas to celebrate outside of the summer sun.

Twinkling lights hang around the trees, making this venue shine as guests arrive and as they leave after dark. From start to finish, Secret Gardens Miami truly has it all!

Ariel & Joshua’s Big Day at Secret Gardens Miami…

However, the real showstopper of this day was not the setting but the couple! Ariel and Joshua’s love was so beautiful to witness and capture in photos. Their wedding was heartwarmingly family focused, with lots of kiddos and adults excited to see this couple come together.

Event Planner, Celia Langleben, made this day go off without a hitch. Every detail was absolutely delightful from the outdoor ceremony to the indoor reception with it’s chandeliers, twinkling lights, and lots of dancing.

The florals for this wedding were especially jaw dropping! Florals by Thimble Co. used such rich colors, unique textures, and lots of cascading blooms to create pieces that really brought the garden setting to a new heights!
