Their love story began just over a year ago in La Jolla, San Diego, where Tayem proposed during a peaceful sunset stroll on the beach. “We were walking around the beach at sunset when we stumbled across a beautiful setup, and he asked me to be his forever person,” Lina recalls. That moment, set against the ocean’s golden hues, was the perfect prelude to their wedding at Casa Loma, a venue rich in history and romance.
Casa Loma, Toronto’s iconic castle, set the stage for their unforgettable celebration. Built in 1914 by financier Sir Henry Pellatt, Casa Loma is a stunning example of the city’s commitment to preserving its rich heritage while embracing modern luxury. The grandeur of the castle’s Gothic-inspired architecture and its expansive gardens provided the perfect setting for Lina and Tayem’s wedding.
For Lina and Tayem, their wedding was an opportunity to infuse a bit of spring charm into the day. Petals & Pearls, their wedding planner, brought their vision to life with a sunny, vibrant colour palette that had distinct Mediterranean vibes. Soft yellow and blue bridesmaids’ dresses paired beautifully with bright, citrus-infused floral arrangements that filled the venue with energy.
The stunning florals were strategically placed throughout the glass pavilion, where the reception took place, creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere that guests couldn’t help but admire.
The outdoor ceremony, held in the Casa Loma gardens, set the tone for a day full of love and celebration.
The natural beauty of the gardens and the dramatic architecture of the castle created an unparalleled backdrop as Lina and Tayem shared their vows. The sunny weather and breathtaking scenery elevated the significance of the moment, allowing the couple to exchange their vows in a setting that felt as timeless as their love.
Lina and Tayem’s wedding was filled with the kind of moments that take your breath away. From the couple’s heartfelt ceremony to the lively reception, every detail was a reflection of their love for one another.
As the evening progressed, guests were treated to delicious food, heartfelt speeches, and an atmosphere of pure joy. The stunning design, combined with the rich history of Casa Loma, created an unforgettable celebration of their love.
As the sun set over the castle’s stone walls, Lina and Tayem’s wedding came to an end—but not without leaving an indelible mark on everyone who was fortunate enough to witness it.
