Al Fresco Italian Inspired Garden Soiree

Al Fresco Italian Inspired Garden Soiree

Long garden dining table with a patterned tablecloth and flowers.

Inspired by an al fresco garden party, Heidi of The Fete Collective dreamed up a beautiful styled shoot at Grand Gimeno featuring fresh pizzas by our Director of Culinary Operations, Laith, playful printed linens from BBJ La Tavola, colorful lounge rentals and tabletop settings from Adore Folklore and Catalog Atelier, whimsical, overgrown foliage with pops of produce arrangements by Simply Chesca Floristry, an artsy gallery wall seating chart completed with guest names by Calylgraphy, a live portrait watercolor station by Chasing Linen, and a delicious cake from Domi to top it all off. Two models with hair and makeup done by Lindaly Makeup and Naomi Cruz brought the vision to life, and Ariele Photography and Ver The Makers captured everything with still shots and film. See more from this summer soiree styled shoot below!
