For Bailey’s 29th birthday, her fiancé wanted a celebration that felt like
a moody Mediterranean escape—
think Italian coastal meets romantic
wine night.
With a soft budget and a bold vision, I brought this aesthetic to life with maroon, black, and warm neutral tones. The pink accent on the custom invites was a subtle nod to Bailey’s Barbie side—classic, feminine, and fun—just ‘a bit of Bailey.’
Aging Like Fine Wine
Bailey’s 29th Birthday Soirée

The vision: create a cozy, coastal-inspired dinner party with major Italian wine-country energy. The vibe was moody, romantic, and intimate—something trendy and elevated without feeling overdone.

I designed custom invitations with a splash of pink to reflect Bailey’s playful personality, balanced with deeper tones for that rich Mediterranean feel. The creative direction was grounded in warm textures, candlelight, and quiet luxurious touches that made everything feel intentional and intimate.

With a small budget, I maximized impact through thoughtful vendor selection, clear styling, and hands-on setup. I managed the entire event—from sourcing to execution—bringing the vision to life while keeping it effortless for the host and unforgettable for the guests.
