There’s something about an Italian summer evening that makes life feel softer, slower, and a little more magical. For this birthday celebration, we brought that feeling to life with a La Dolce Vita–themed dinner party—think warm colors, effortless elegance, and a table filled with the kind of food that brings people together.

Set in a garden glowing with fairy lights and the last hints of golden hour, the table was styled with lemons, fresh herbs, and simple white candles. Guests arrived dressed in linen, silk, and those classic muted Italian tones. Laughter echoed between the trees as glasses of wine clinked and the scent of fresh pasta and olive oil drifted through the air.
Everything about the evening felt intentionally slow. Friends lingered around the table long after the plates were empty, sharing stories, passing bread, and celebrating another year of life in the sweetest way possible. It wasn’t just a birthday—it was a moment where time seemed to stretch, inviting everyone to savor it, just like the Italians do.

This is the beauty of La Dolce Vita: embracing the simple things—good food, warm company, soft light—and realizing that these are the moments worth remembering. And capturing it all felt like freezing a little piece of summer forever.

Think warm colors, effortless elegance, and a table filled with the kind of food that brings people together. Laughter echoed between the trees as glasses of wine clinked and the scent of fresh pasta and olive oil drifted through the air.

Everything about the evening felt intentionally slow. Being able to capture these moments are so precious, seeing girlhood reunite and cherish memories all captured in a photoalbum given to the birthday girl of the evening.
