The Ceremony & Reception
DAY THREE OF THREE · VIZCAYA MUSEUM & GARDENS · PLANNED BY DAVID TUTERA
Three days of celebrations led to this. After the energy of the Welcome Party and the intimacy of the Welcome Dinner, Day Three of Bailey and Ross Chouest’s Celebration of Love was the crescendo — the ceremony and reception that brought everything together at the iconic Vizcaya Museum & Gardens. David Tutera saved his grandest vision for last. Flowers by Semia delivered her most spectacular work. And Alex Paul Photography captured every single moment beautifully.
The Bridal Entrance
Bailey walked through a tunnel of flowers that Flowers by Semia had spent days constructing — a cascade of blush, coral, and fuchsia blooms covering every inch of Vizcaya’s stone facade. Her gown — with its extraordinary trailing feathers and intricate embroidery — was made for exactly this moment. The crowd rose as one. Nobody breathed.
“The crowd rose as one. Nobody breathed.”
The Ceremony
The Reception
After the vows, Vizcaya revealed a new face. Flowers by Semia transformed the reception spaces with yellow, ivory, and soft blue blooms — overflowing from the bronze goddess fountain, trailing down staircases, and anchoring every candlelit table. A custom navy-and-gold lily-print dance floor gleamed beneath crystal chandeliers. A Steinway grand on a floating pool stage set the scene for an evening of extraordinary entertainment.
The Music & The Dance Floor
Guests were welcomed into cocktail hour by a live string quartet performing around Semia’s breathtaking floral fountain. A pianist performed on the floating Steinway stage as dinner unfolded. Then the dance floor opened — and it never stopped. This is what I live for: a perfectly curated crowd, a stunning room, and three days’ worth of love and celebration finally erupting into pure joy.
“Three days. Every single one unforgettable.”
