Set against the water with a soft breeze and sun-drenched tables, this intimate birthday luncheon felt like a quiet escape to Capri, without ever leaving Miami. Designed around the spirit of la dolce vita, the afternoon unfolded through thoughtful details: a palette of Italian blues and sunlit yellows, delicate florals, and a Mediterranean menu that was both vibrant and effortless.
For a private, intimate event at home in Miami, the goal was simple: create something beautiful, relaxed, and deeply enjoyable. The kind of gathering where guests linger a little longer, plates are passed slowly, and every element feels considered but never overdone.
Capri-Inspired Setting with Italian Blue and Lemon Yellow
The design for this intimate Miami event leaned into classic Italian summer tones, with crisp whites, coastal blues, and warm citrus hues. Striped linens, soft garden florals, and parasols created shade and movement, giving the table a light, cinematic quality.
The “La Dolce Vita” lunch station anchored the space, bringing a playful nod to the Italian Riviera while framing the culinary experience.

At the luncheon station, a selection of Mediterranean dishes unfolded:
Grilled chicken skewers with herbs and citrus
Salmon fillets topped with lemon slices and green herb crust

A generous spread of roasted vegetables, soft cheeses, and composed salads
A variety of house-made sauces, including a bright tzatziki and a roasted pepper blend

Desserts Inspired by Italian Summer
Dessert brought a playful and elegant finish to the afternoon. A standout was the house-made lemon sorbet, served inside hollowed lemons, a simple but striking nod to the Amalfi Coast.
Alongside, delicate mini pavlovas topped with seasonal berries added a soft sweetness, while a beautifully layered cake by our in-house pastry chef Bruno brought the celebration together; light, refined, and made to be shared.
