About The Grand Del Mar
The Grand Del Mar is one of San Diego's most prestigious wedding venues, offering couples a five-star resort experience with Mediterranean elegance and California luxury. Nestled in the hills of Carmel Valley, this Forbes Five-Star resort provides multiple ceremony and reception options, each more stunning than the last.
What sets The Grand Del Mar apart is the attention to detail, impeccable service, and architectural beauty. From the dramatic rotunda to the expansive terraces overlooking Tom Fazio's championship golf course, every space offers a refined backdrop for sophisticated celebrations.
As San Diego wedding florists who've designed for numerous Grand Del Mar weddings, we understand what it takes to create florals worthy of this venue. The resort attracts discerning couples who appreciate luxury, quality, and artistry—exactly what we deliver.
The Rotunda
The Grand Del Mar's iconic rotunda is a breathtaking ceremony site. The circular design, soaring ceiling with custom chandelier, and marble details create natural drama. We design ceremony florals that enhance this architectural masterpiece without overwhelming it—think statement altar pieces, elegant aisle markers, and refined floral installations that complement the space's grandeur.
the Terrace
Overlooking the resort's championship golf course and rolling hills, The Terrace offers an outdoor reception setting with sweeping views. This space calls for sophisticated tablescapes, lush centerpieces, and subtle ceremony florals that work with the natural landscape. Sunsets here are spectacular, and we design florals that photograph beautifully during golden hour.
The Grand Del Mar Wedding Spaces
The Ballroom
For larger celebrations, The Grand Del Mar's ballroom provides elegant indoor space with neutral tones and refined details. This blank canvas allows for creative floral installations—from dramatic ceiling treatments to abundant centerpieces and statement entry pieces. We love designing for this space because it accommodates both classic elegance and bold, artistic visions.
the Lawn
The resort's pristine lawn areas offer versatility for outdoor ceremonies with the resort as your backdrop. These spaces allow for creative ceremony structures, floral arches, and installations that make a statement against the Mediterranean architecture.
Addison Restaurant
For intimate celebrations, Addison (San Diego's only Michelin three-star restaurant) offers an unparalleled dining experience with sophisticated private spaces. Small weddings here call for refined, elegant florals that match the restaurant's world-class reputation.
