Everything I used, made, prepped, and wore for my Fourth of July-but-make-it-Italian dinner party. Feel free to copy it, tweak it, or pretend it was your idea first.

Vibe & Concept

Theme: Americana Aperitivo

Vibe: Fourth of July meets Italian garden party — spritzes, citrus, burrata, and a long table under a tree.

Design Notes: Postcard menus in envelopes, striped linens, orange florals, low-stress food served at room temperature.
