The outdoor area was transformed into a serene oasis by Lisa Aportela from City Furniture. Guests danced to the melodies of DJ Sepi, sipped on the refreshing El Cristiano Tequila, and admired the elegant floral decor curated by Luxury Flowers Private Studio. The bar area was gracefully managed by Yacht Chandlers. The week was crowned with a special taco bar pop-up by Velvet Taco on Saturday, coinciding with Haute Living’s FLIBS party.
