Set the Ambiance with Floral

Floral arrangements at the altar, down the aisle, and on the tables at your reception can also make a big difference to the overall look of your special day. Jolie Fleur has done an exceptional job of helping brides in Del Mar and across San Diego add beautiful detail to their wedding day.
Book a Table for Your Rehearsal Dinner
One of the biggest draws of Del Mar—besides its exceptional weather and gorgeous views—is its award-winning restaurants. The options are nearly limitless; from freshly caught seafood to ingredients imported from Italy, and California cuisine to Peruvian fusion, there are dishes to appease everyone in your bridal party and family. Many of these restaurants also cater, so you can have your favorite food at your reception too.
Relax & Pamper Yourself
As you get closer to your wedding day, take a step away from all the planning and relax a bit. Spa L’Auberge and Spa Na’Mara offer luxurious treatments to help you find peace in all the chaos. A massage will help you unwind; a couple’s massage could feel even more special and give you and your partner an excuse for a little alone time. A facial, body wrap, exfoliation treatment, spray tan, or waxing service can also help you get ready for the big day. Plus, get a manicure or pedicure from Del Mar Nails and Spa at Del Mar Plaza so that your nails look picture perfect for your big day.
Gifts for the Bridal Party
It's always a sweet gesture to gift your bridal party something special to thank them for being by your side on this important day. For the gals, treat them with one of a kind stones and jewelry from Made in Earth or unique gifts from one of the many speciality boutiques in Del Mar such as the new Sea Biscuit at the Del Mar Plaza. For the guys, treat your pals with special gifts from local boutiques such the Rusty Del Mar Surf Shop.
