ABOUT

At 17 years old I decided that I had to be a wedding planner. It took me 7 more years to dive right into this world. Now hundreds of weddings later, I still absolutely adore this whole process from start to finish.

Philocalist Designs has been a vision fueled by my unquenchable desire to create. I'm never happier than when I'm puzzling out a timeline to make your day extremely smooth or setting your personal style choices out on your tablescape. 

With my eye for light and design paired with close vendor connections across the Nashville area, your day is in sure hands.

Wondering what a philocalist is? I'm a philocalist-- a lover of beauty! 

It takes many forms and shapes, and cherishing it all is our job. Beauty can be in the small details of your day captured through your photographer's lens and it can be how smoothly we put your whole wedding together. 

If your goal is beauty throughout the process from start to finish, you're in the right place. We're going to be obsessed with your day so you can be too!
