The Year Lydia Turns 25
Background
To mark her 25th birthday, Lydia envisioned an intimate black-tie dinner in London. She wanted a celebration that felt sophisticated yet deeply personal. A night filled with intention, elegance, and the people closest to her. With 17 guests, the evening called for an atmosphere of intimacy layered with editorial-style glamour.

Design Journey
Where It Started
During our planning sessions, Lydia expressed her desire for a formal black-and-white dinner party that reflected her personal style. She wanted simple; a celebration that would feel sophisticated and editorial, while still warm and intimate for her closest friends.
How It Ended
We designed a striking tablescape with black table runners, soft white roses, and layered candlelight to create an atmospheric glow. Each guest received a personalised menu and place card tailored to their meal choice, adding a bespoke touch to the evening. To celebrate Lydia’s journey, we designed a custom newspaper front cover, along with a beautiful bespoke cake.
The flawlessly executed London dinner party perfectly showcased how thoughtful event design can transform a milestone birthday into a luxury celebration.
