Thanksgiving at Garden Studio Home

To kick off the hosting season, the gathering took place at the recently renovated Garden Studio Home, a stunning property located in the heart of Newport Beach. The home's architecture and landscaping are truly remarkable, evoking a sense of being in the alpines. Hostess Chris Fenmore graciously opened her doors to welcome guests for the annual Garden Studio Design Thanksgiving dinner, setting the stage for a memorable evening.

To set the perfect ambiance, meticulous planning went into creating a cozy cabin theme in collaboration with the Garden Studio Design Team. Benches and chairs were elegantly adorned with fur pelts, while carefully arranged dried and foraged florals adorned the rustic tablescape. Interior Designer Jamie Zhener's touch with beautiful linen textiles added a layer of cozy to the decor. As the sun set, guests were treated to delightful Passion Fruit Gin and Tonics to enjoy by the crackling fireplace.

The culinary experience was equally exceptional, with Cucina Melissa preparing a delightful fall salad and butternut squash pasta that warmed both the stomachs and hearts of the guests. The meal was served family-style, enhancing the sense of togetherness and camaraderie among those present. As the evening progressed, the atmosphere was filled with the clinking of glasses, the soft glow of candlelight, and the hum of lively conversations, creating a truly magical and intimate setting that celebrated the essence of the cozy season and fostered meaningful connections among all attendees.
