Hotel Casa del Mar Wedding
Inspired by art, history, and a love story that began in their teens, this oceanfront celebration at Hotel Casa del Mar unfolded like a modern Rococo painting brought to life. Ornate details, couture fashion, and lush floral installations set the tone for an elevated yet deeply personal day, where cultural traditions and heartfelt
moments were woven seamlessly into the design. From a sunset ceremony accompanied by live strings to a candlelit reception layered in gold and blush tones, every element reflected a vision rooted in artistry and intention.
THE STORY
Their story began years earlier as teenagers, growing together through life’s seasons before choosing to promise forever. Inspired by Pear’s love of art history, the celebration embraced a Rococo aesthetic - ornate yet romantic, refined yet full of heart. From her couture gown to the intricately detailed invitation suite, every element hinted at the grandeur and intention woven throughout the day.
As the sun began to dip along the coastline, guests were welcomed into a breathtaking ceremony framed by lush florals and soft, glowing light. A live string ensemble filled the air with timeless melodies, adding to the emotion of the moment. When the couple sealed their vows, joyful cheers erupted, and subtle nods to their heritage - including a thoughtfully curated Thai dessert display - added depth and meaning to the celebration.
The reception unfolded like a painted scene, layered with gold accents, blush and ivory blooms, and candlelight that shimmered across the room. Signature cocktails, exquisite cuisine, and a beautifully choreographed first dance carried the evening into a celebration that felt both elevated and deeply personal. It was a night where artistry met authenticity - a reflection not only of a grand design vision, but of a love story years in the making.
Dee Lee Designs led the planning and design for this celebration, bringing a refined vision and seamless coordination to every part of the day.
From the overall aesthetic to the smallest details, Dee thoughtfully curated an experience that felt cohesive, elevated, and deeply personal to the couple.
“The professionalism, eagerness, and passion to get your shots really shows. We both appreciate you guys!”
— Pear & Kaelan, Los Angeles
