The Grand Del Mar April 2008

A vibrant and plush wedding at The Grand Del Mar was a highlight from our April events.

The Grand Del Mar is San Diego’s newest, premier, luxury venue. Blending graceful architecture, striking natural scenery and lavish appointments, the resort captures the elegance and romance of a luxurious estate nestled in the sun-drenched Mediterranean. Featuring wood-beamed ceilings, imported Italian marble and stained glass accents, the majestic Elizabeth Capella chapel frames the ceremony, offering an incredible picture-perfect backdrop.

Our design direction for the day included, hues of fire red deepening into wondrous shades of sunglow orange with accents of military blue/black - grounded in the Earthy tones of rustic ironwork and burnt clay… Played out in dupioni silk linen and white porcelain chargers trimmed in gold.

Each table displayed a spectacular centerpiece beginning with a bed of rose petals and candlelight… rising dramatically from the perfectly set table, an elegant wrought iron candelabra gloriously crowned with a cascade of exquisite color. Roses of fire red to deep russet, terracotta and bold tones repeated in other ‘floral of the day’ all nestled in a spring time greens collection.

The brides bouquet was a stunning hand tie of burnt orange mini calla lilies and deep red roses then wrapped in a delicate silk ribbon with a beaded accent finishing this beautiful piece off to compliment an equally beautiful bride!

Our day went so smoothly under the exceptional direction of Victoria Schroeder of Coronado Weddings. Her organization provided us the ability to execute our design objective and provide the client with a product that was amazing in complimenting the highly sophisticated Grand Del Mar. Victoria truly practices a service of high quality and it was a pleasure to work with her. We look forward to future opportunities to be on her dedicated team of vendors.

Last but not least, we have to extend our warmest regards to Paul Barnett of Barnett Photographics. Paul is by far a leader in the Photography Industry and it’s always a treat to have him capture the end results and really bring to life the work of art we strive to achieve. His quality of imagery is incredible and we appreciate his team work in providing his work to showcase our talents as Embellishmint Floral & Event Design Studio.
