Lindsey Shanks

Lindsey Shanks

A portrait of smiles and southern hospitality, Lindsey was born and raised in Dallas, Texas and has always appreciated the distinctive charm of the south. From as far back as Lindsey can remember she loved everything about weddings; from the stationary to the something blue. She attended Louisiana State University and received a Bachelor’s degree in Business Marketing and was the Special Events Coordinator for her sorority. She also held an internship at the Dallas Convention & Visitors Bureau where she coordinated major Dallas events and provided marketing assistance for Fortune 500 companies and large non-profit organizations.

After earning a degree in Business Marketing from LSU, Lindsey took a senior position in New York City as the Regional Corporate Market Director of the Wall Street Run & Heart Walk managing a volunteer staff of 150 people and an event goal of $2.1 Million. While her experience in corporate planning was invaluable, Lindsey realized that her passion was in planning smaller, more intimate events. Certified through the Preston Bailey Event & Wedding Design course as well as through the American Bridal Consultants, she has also studied floral design in New York City. Lindsey’s passion is to help every bride accomplish something timeless but uniquely different and memorable. There is no detail too small.
