Locklane Weddings & Events, Green Door Gourmet, Nashville

As you can tell from the photos, Anna and Paul were a delight to work with. They were relaxed and happy throughout the process.

I began working with them a year before their wedding on a consultation basis. Anna was a dream DIY bride! She and Paul listened to my suggestions for quality vendors and chose the areas they wanted to do themselves, such as the flowers. With plenty of time to create, plan and execute their ideas, they were able to make their centerpieces, table numbers, escort cards, gift table, "photo booth," and more. As they are both musicians, they called on friends for the live music at their ceremony and to create a fun dance party during the reception. They incorporated their family as they chose their decor and their mothers worked together to bake the family favorites for the dessert bar. Together, we wrapped up their details and executed a lovely, fun day.

Burlap and Lace Bride - Locklane Weddings & Events, Nashville Wedding Planner

Before starting my own company, I worked for Danielle at Catalyst Weddings & Events. I knew events before I joined Danielle but weddings were still new to me. I learned a lot in two years at Catalyst. Blake and Matt's wedding was my first as a lead planner for Catalyst. They came to us as the last minute for help on the day of- they already had a beautiful day put together but needed a hand with the execution.

Blake and Matt are not only a beautiful couple, they are very sweet and were so easy to work with.

See more photos on our Facebook page.

Blake and her family made most of the decor for the wedding, from the "love" sign to the table numbers and candy bar.
She was an impressive DIY bride.
As a graphic designer, Blake also designed all of their paper products.

Matt's father made the arch that they said their vows under.
