Julia Barreto definitely had a blast celebrating her “22 years of existence” dining under the lemon trees just like her dream destination in Italy.
Marjorie Barretto went all out and turned her garden into one of the famous restaurants in Capri, Italy— Da Paolino Lemon Trees with the help of an event stylist Gideon Hermosa.
Known for being the hands-on mom that she is, Marjorie admitted that “Julia challenges her every year to come up with a theme for her birthday.” and she always chooses to celebrate it in her garden.
Hence this time, she just wanted to blow her daughter’s mind with the venue set-up and make the most out of Julia’s last year living with her.
She wrote on her IG, “I’m a DIY kind of Mom, I usually fix everything myself, but because Julia feels there’s a lot of reasons to celebrate, and this is her last year living in my home, I will BLOW HER MIND with this one.”
As a reference for Julia’s theme, here are the actual pictures of her dream destination:
After all the preparation which actually started at 6:00 in the morning last friday, Marjorie’s garden resembled a lovely lemon grove and it certainly mimicked Julia’s dream destination.

As a result, Julia loved everything about it here’s a video of her all smiles beneath the lemon trees in her garden party.
The venue’s pop of color is yellow having all Gideon’s said “ingredients” decorated everywhere completes the vibe. Our favorite? Good food being served while enjoying the fragrant lemon trees!
Marjorie completely blew Julia’s mind as they enjoy the intimate gathering with their special friends and family.
The mother’s sweet birthday message to her daughter moved all her fans.
“She and I are so connected, we feel each other’s joy, each other’s pain, we laugh alike, we talk alike, we say the same things at the same time. I fell in love with you the moment I laid my eyes on you, Jul, exactly 22 years ago. I must have done something really good in my life to deserve a daughter like you. I thank God for you. Happy Birthday my love.”
