With 2020 in our rearview mirror, we are all starting to get back to some normalcy. However, some wedding trends that caught our attention are here to stay. One of our favorites? Brunch weddings. But why do we love them so much? It could be the flexibility of the schedule. Maybe it’s the beautiful light […]

We love winter weddings! Although they aren’t the most popular options among brides & grooms, we think they are just as beautiful and versatile. The color schemes, the florals, the warm details that you can add just make for the perfect day.  Here is a styled shoot that was created by a dream team of […]

It’s only mid-November, and the leaves are still colorful in Greensboro, NC, but we’re already dreaming of Christmas over here at McAlister-Leftwich House! There are so many ways to “do” Christmas in your home, and we wanted to bring a little cheer to you this year. While this tabletop is bright and happy, it also […]

As the weather changes and it’s becoming colder (yay!), we are gearing up for many indoor receptions. And let me tell you, we are excited! With the cooler weather comes Thanksgiving and the holiday season, potential for snow (fingers crossed) and warm nights at home. The one word that all of those things have in […]

We love Thanksgiving for it’s cozy, warm foods, crisp weather, and a chance to be with family and friends.

Although October seems to be a great month to host a Murder Mystery Dinner Party with Halloween on the horizon, you could really host one at any point! This past weekend I hosted one at my home for a group of our friends and it was such a hit, I thought I’d share photos and […]

When decorating for Halloween, we like to keep it simple, yet impactful. That’s why when we saw these massive black spiders, we knew we had found the perfect thing for this spooky season! They are from Amazon (shop below!) and we ended up getting two packs, one large duo pack and one pack of mixed […]

Spooky season is upon us and we’re back with another installment of “Behind the Bar,” but this time Cheryl is the bartender! I’m so excited to bring you her pick today because it feels perfect for the holiday, without being super fussy or over-the-top. This Blackberry Prosecco Spritzer is something I’m confident everyone could make […]

When it comes to decorating for the holidays, there are certainly things I like to take care of myself, but there are also things I want to get my kids involved with! Last year, we hosted a pumpkin painting party for my oldest two and their buddies. It got me thinking: what if my daughter […]
