This week we are bringing some serious intimate event inspiration with an Italian influenced “cena all’aperto” (outdoor dining party) in the East Bay. From the stunning florals, to the elegant rentals, and the exquisite detailed menu, this event was truly dreamy. Take a look for yourself to see how stunning an intimate dinner in a private home can be.
The evening began with cocktail hour serving fine wines, champagne, and a gorgeous grazing board by Charming Fig.
We provided serving utensils and bamboo individual plates so guests could create their own mini board (not to mention they are also eco-friendly!).
Pleasanton Event Rentals supplied the rentals as well the linens which worked perfectly in the backyard setting. The weather was warm, but comfortable; perfect for an evening of dining al fresco.
The overall inspiration came from the host’s Italian background. We wanted to create the feel of a Tuscan Villa, transporting the guests to the Italian countryside without actually leaving their home. To tie in the backyard, garden setting, broken pieces of terra-cotta pots were used as guest place cards.
The florals for the intimate dinner party were provided by Nicole Ha Design, adding an extra touch of color and providing even more secret garden vibes throughout the space. Additional loose florals were added to the desserts as well.
The catering for dinner was thoughtfully provided by Giannis Italian Bistro. Guests were served three plated courses featuring fresh ingredients creating an amazing Italian menu.
Guests safely indulged in a delicious meal in the comfort of a private home, and even enjoyed a show when a heard of cattle wandered by in the background.
We love seeing families able to continue to celebrate important events together, safely.
