A note from Nicole
Hello there! I’m Nicole, Reflections Lead Planner and Designer, and owner of White Laurel Design, Co – nothing captivates me more than flowers, food, family, friends and a fun party (not particularly in that order- although I do love exquisite flowers)! My love of planning (and all things pretty) traces back to my Mother and Grandmother. From hosting tea parties in my playhouse when I was 5 years old, to planning the company Christmas parties, I was always up front and center to donate my time and efforts to the decorating cause! You know it’s the southern thing to do – make spaces pretty, and make people feel welcome!
The 25 years I have spent as software implementation manager has more than prepared me to think quickly on my feet, manage large groups of people, and reboot and restart when needed! Even though I have always enjoyed interaction with my customer base, my dream was to own a design company. I decided my genuine love of people, conversation, planning and design would best serve me as an event planner! So here I am living this amazing life, and this thing I once called a ‘hobby’ I now call a passionate career and business!
If you spend more than 30 seconds with me, you will find I have a flair for chatting and a love of heartfelt stories. I believe these traits along with intense attention to detail, allow me to create a more personal and intimate gathering. At any event you will find me meandering through the crowd with a watchful eye, a warm smile, and my trusty check list making sure you and your guests are enjoying themselves immensely and having FUN! Everything I do, I like to approach with a joyful heart, whether its leading our team through the tiny details and the grand overview, or simply helping a bride and groom make the complex choice of the best cake flavor (this is the hard part of the job – but hey! Someone has to do it)!
When I am not planning the next big event, you will find me at home with my husband Patrick, and my yellow Labrador, Winston, enjoying a good book on my front porch, or relaxing and sharing recipes by our outdoor firepit with friends and family.
I look forward to getting to know YOU!
