the niftiest dinner party

I had the pleasure of designing a dinner party for a dear friend. She knew she wanted to cook paella for 20 people herself, and with that one key piece of information, we were off to the races.

With her help, I decided to name the event “Paella and Pintxos”, created a Mediterranean-inspired tablescape, designed invitations and menus, put together flower arrangements, and elevated a backyard dinner party into a night that was completely unforgettable.

Friends ate and drank along a long table illuminated by candlelight - each guest with a different wine glass in hand, drinking and laughing while filling their bellies with delicious seafood paella made with love by their host. It was truly magical ✨
