Outdoor Dinner Party at Leslie-Alford-Mims House

Candlelit lanterns, candles, and strings of market lights illuminated the cozy backyard reception setting. “I wanted it to feel like we had invited our friends over for the most epic dinner party ever,” Allison says. A family-style dining experience, blankets for when the sun went down and ambient music playing softly in the background created Allison’s dream dinner-party vibe.
