In hospitality, “last-minute” is rarely an exception. A guest request changes. A corporate host adds a function. An outdoor event needs one finishing layer before guests arrive.

Hotels need partners who can receive that call, understand the property immediately, and deliver something resolved—not something that looks rushed.

That is the role Temporary Tropics plays for our Miami Beach hotel partners. We operate as an extension of the on-property event team: responsive, discreet, familiar with the setting, and accountable to the guest experience from the moment an inquiry becomes a confirmed event.

A conference begins long before the first speaker walks onstage. It begins at registration—at the first moment a guest feels the scale, energy, and point of view of the program.

For the National Association of Neonatal Nurses’ NANN 42nd Annual Conference at the Palm Beach County Convention Center, the brand identity was alive with vibrant color, tropical leaf forms, and the warmth of its West Palm Beach setting. The design brief was clear: bring that sense of place into the guest experience, from arrival through the general session.

A project can be on a one-business-day clock and still feel as though it was considered for weeks. That was the standard at the Charles F. Dodge City Center in Pembroke Pines, where we were brought in for the annual company meeting of a prominent Florida real estate development group.

The stage already had a strong point of view: a black backdrop, gold brand elements, and a blue-lit presentation environment. Our job was not to decorate around it. It was to extend that visual language through live foliage rentals that belonged to the event from the first glance across the room.

A stage does not need to be overbuilt to make an impression.

At Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa, we were brought in to give a white-and-gold stage setting the final layer it was missing: life, proportion, and a more resolved sense of place.

The furniture on stage was white with gold details. Rather than introduce a competing design direction, we built upon the palette already established. Live foliage was placed in a considered mix of designer LECHUZA planters and elevated gold vessels, allowing the greenery to feel connected to the stage furniture rather than placed beside it.

The result was polished without becoming precious. The foliage softened the hard lines of the stage, the planters gave the composition shape, and the gold elements carried through the visual language of the room.

It was a measured solution, but it did not feel minimal.

That is the value of thoughtfully designed stage plant rentals in Palm Beach.

The most memorable event entertainment does more than occupy a moment. It gives guests a reason to pause, connect, and leave with something that feels distinctly their own.

For a recent private celebration in Golden Beach, Florida, Temporary Tropics was engaged to curate entertainment for a group of high-fashion women celebrating a meaningful life milestone. The occasion called for something refined, personal, and beautiful enough to belong in the room—not simply another activity placed on the agenda.

We introduced the Live Watercolor Portrait Atelier: an elevated watercolor fashion-sketch experience that captures each guest at her very best.

Part live entertainment, part personal keepsake, the experience gave each attendee a polished portrait to take home, frame, share, or simply keep as a reminder of a beautiful day. The finished sketches felt lighthearted and expressive, while still carrying the kind of quiet luxury that suited the celebration.

This is the power of thoughtfully curated event entertainment.

When a brand is as recognizable as McDonald’s, every visual decision has to earn its place.

For a recent program at The Diplomat Beach Resort, a Signia by Hilton in Hollywood, Florida, Temporary Tropics was engaged to provide live stage plants for McDonald’s. The brief called for an elevated installation that supported the program, respected the budget, and felt connected to the brand without becoming too literal.

That distinction matters.

At a venue built for global sport, entertainment and high-profile hospitality, every event element must understand its setting.

For a private premium corporate gathering at Nu Stadium, Temporary Tropics was engaged by We Are Wonder, the London-based experiential agency managing the event, to provide live foliage rentals and fresh florals throughout the guest experience.

The program brought together senior stakeholders, Clients and invited guests in an environment where visual restraint, discretion and operational precision were equally important. Our work needed to feel elevated, natural and entirely at home within the stadium’s contemporary hospitality spaces.

The brief was clear: create an ultra-premium atmosphere, respect the event’s purple visual language and incorporate the host’s preferred flower—deep purple tulips—without allowing the floral design to become overly decorative.

When an event asks guests to think expansively, connect meaningfully and operate at a higher level, the environment must quietly support that intention.

From September 4–7, 2026, the Excellence Lawyers Retreat brought attorneys, firm owners and legal professionals together at Fontainebleau Miami Beach for several days of strategy, connection and professional momentum. Presented by Witherspoon Law Group and The Pittman Law Firm, the retreat transformed an entire floor of the resort’s conference setting into an immersive home for learning, gathering and evening celebration.

There are plants placed in a room, and then there are botanical environments designed to transform it.

For more than two decades, Temporary Tropics has provided premium live foliage rentals throughout Florida, shaping corporate events, conventions, trade shows, hospitality programs, brand activations, weddings, sporting events and private celebrations with nature—considered.

We are a biophilic design and experiences studio working at the intersection of horticulture, event design and hospitality. Our work extends far beyond supplying attractive plants. We curate how live foliage relates to the architecture, supports the event program, guides the guest journey and contributes to the atmosphere of the occasion.

Some of the most memorable floral arrangements begin outside the traditional vase.

A split pomegranate reveals a jewel-like interior. Grapes spill naturally over the edge of a silver compote. Sculptural cabbages resemble oversized roses. Citrus brings color, fragrance and a sense of place. Peppers create movement with a gesture no manufactured ornament could reproduce.

At Temporary Tropics, we use fresh fruits and vegetables as vessels, structural elements and integral parts of our floral compositions. The approach is imaginative, but it is not new. Artists and designers have long understood the visual power of the harvest.

Some event elements decorate a space. Others define it.

Our LED palms were selected for their ability to create an immediate sense of arrival. Sculptural by day and luminous after dark, they bring height, rhythm and programmable color to corporate events, conferences, brand activations, social celebrations and MICE environments throughout Florida.

Used individually, an illuminated palm becomes a striking visual marker. Placed in pairs, it frames an entrance, stage or branded focal point. Arranged in larger groupings, multiple LED palms can transform an open footprint into a fully realized environment.

There will always be a place for the classic hedge wall. It offers privacy, structure and a clean field for signage. Yet our Clients began asking for something more individual—something with the natural presence of foliage, but with greater creative freedom.

Our custom biophilic walls were designed in response.

Rather than beginning with a uniform surface of greenery, each wall begins with a considered architectural backdrop. Live or faux foliage is then composed across that surface with the same attention we would give to an event entrance, stage installation or botanical sculpture.

Floral Greeters occupy a distinctive space between entertainment and event design. Their costumes become part of the room’s visual composition, adding scale, movement, and personality without requiring a traditional performance area.

They may remain stationary at a grand entrance, welcome guests along an arrival path, or move through the event as roaming characters. Choreographed routines may also be incorporated when the program calls for a more defined performance moment.

Guests approach the cart and choose their flowers stem by stem. A garden rose for softness. A sculptural bloom for height. A trailing piece of greenery to finish the composition.

There is no need to rush.

The Flower Bar by Temporary Tropics is a guided floral experience that invites guests to slow down, follow their creative instinct, and leave with an arrangement of their own making.

The room shifts when they enter.

At nine feet tall, the Graceful Green Giants move through an event with an unhurried, almost otherworldly presence. Covered in layered foliage from crown to foot, they appear less like conventional performers and more like pieces of the landscape that have quietly come to life.

Part living sculpture, part strolling entertainment, these botanical characters transform an arrival, reception, or dinner into something gently theatrical.

For Florida weddings, galas, milestone birthdays, holiday parties, and private celebrations, palms, tropical plants, topiaries, flowering botanicals, trees, and hedge walls can transform both indoor and outdoor spaces with remarkable ease.

Corporate events ask a great deal of their environments. A single venue may need to support registration, education, networking, hospitality, branding, entertainment, and executive conversation—sometimes within the same day.

Live foliage helps those spaces perform without making them feel overdesigned.

For more than two decades, Temporary Tropics has shaped botanical environments across Florida’s most distinctive venues and events. Today, we operate at the intersection of horticulture, design, and hospitality—providing live foliage rentals, biophilic event design, florals, entrances, backdrops, entertainment, and elevated experiences.

Yet live foliage remains at the heart of our work.

The Fedora Atelier by Temporary Tropics is a live fedora painting activation that combines artistry, entertainment, guest engagement, and gifting within one thoughtfully produced experience. Guests select from a collection of curated designs, observe as a professional artist completes the artwork in front of them, and leave wearing a hand-painted keepsake created for the occasion.

Part atelier, part performance, and entirely memorable, the experience transforms a cl

The most successful event décor does more than occupy a space beautifully. It solves a problem, influences movement, encourages interaction, and continues providing value as the event evolves.

For the Excellence Lawyers Retreat, Temporary Tropics was tasked with transforming a transitional foyer into a purposeful part of the guest experience. The foyer sat between the registration hallway and the ballroom, making it an essential point in the natural movement of attendees. Rather than treating it as a space guests would simply pass through, we designed it as a destination.
