Your Hosting Girl Era Starts Now: The Lost Art of Friendship, Community & Social Etiquette with Akilah Releford Gould

Now THIS is the social event of the season. This week, we sit down with hostess with the mostess, creator and CEO of Wedding Chicks, Mary Louise Cosmetics, Lucky Girl Rosé, and Creative Director of her family’s winery, Casa Locé and Bloom Ranch, Akilah Releford Gould.

We get into the art of hosting, building community, making meaningful connections, and why inviting people over is about so much more than pretty tablescapes and good food (although, besties… the food better be good). We also talk about what it really means to be a good guest, how social media has changed the way we show up for each other, the death of social etiquette, wedding planning, and the little details people remember long after the party is over.
