Summer is the season for dining al fresco and basking in the lingering, last rays of sunshine… And there’s nothing that we love more than a summer dinner party!
When Sebastian turned 2, Candice knew just what kind of family fête she’d host: an dinner party under the stars compete with chocolate cake, cousins, and dancing. Sounds like the perfect summer fête, no?
