We welcomed a gathering of mothers, sisters, and friends for a charming garden party at the garden house. This gathering was a celebration of friendship, family, and the simple joys of life, all beautifully set in our backyard.
The Setting: A Picturesque Summer Night
Long tables were arranged outside, adorned with fresh roses and eucalyptus, creating a serene and inviting atmosphere. The natural beauty of the trees and garden was the perfect backdrop, and we were blessed with the most beautiful weather.
The tables were set with Organic Rosemary & Olive Oil bread, displayed on our signature nibble boards, allowing guests to dip their bread in individual herb-infused olive oil—a delightful starter that set the tone for the evening.
A Feast for the Senses: Culinary Delights
Inside the White Gables Garden House, our menu featured an array of summer-inspired dishes, including:
- Burrata Caprese Crostini: A delightful combination of creamy burrata, ripe tomatoes, and fresh basil, all drizzled with balsamic glaze.
- Pasta Salad: A refreshing and colorful mix of pasta, mozzarella, and a tangy vinaigrette.
- Summer Spinach Salad: A light and refreshing salad featuring fresh spinach, berries, almonds, feta and a delicate poppy seed dressing.
- Fresh Fruit: A selection of the season's finest fruits with a lime-honey dressing.
The dessert station was a highlight, set up on an adorable flower cart that added a whimsical touch to the event. Guests indulged in a variety of cakes, including a luscious peach layer cake, a classic carrot cake, and a berry tart. The desserts were a feast for the eyes as well as the taste buds.
Refreshing Sips: Summer Drinks
To keep everyone refreshed, we served drinks as guests arrived, including a delightful strawberry spritzer and a refreshing lavender lemonade. These drinks not only quenched thirst but also complemented the flavors of the food perfectly.
A Thoughtful Farewell
As a token of appreciation, we prepared mini designer-inspired gift bags for our guests to take home. Each bag was filled with delicate macarons, a sweet reminder of the lovely evening spent together.
This garden party was a celebration of the beauty of summer, the joy of gathering with loved ones, and the simple pleasures of good food and great company. We cherish these moments and look forward to hosting many more events that bring opportunities to gather people together.
Whether you're planning a small gathering or a larger celebration, we hope this glimpse into our summer garden party inspires you to create your own memorable moments. At White Gables, we believe in celebrating life's simple joys with elegance and warmth.
