Molly McKinley Designs is a wedding planning and creative event design company. Our vision is simple: we want to create beautiful, personable, memorable weddings. We’re here to direct you through the planning process, encourage you when engagement season gets stressful, inspire you with ideas about your wedding design and decor, and remind you what the day is really about: the marriage at the end of it. We love each step of the way, from meeting our brides and grooms and hearing their stories to pinning his boutonniere and positioning her train before the walk down the aisle.

Things you’d write home to your Momma about: Since joining the world of weddings, my work has been featured by several renowned publications, including Southern Weddings Magazine Volume V9 (“A Storied Love” cover editorial), Weddings Unveiled (Fall Issue 2014, Winter Issue 2015), Style Me Pretty, Ruffled, 100 Layer Cake, The Celebration Society (Spring 2014, Summer 2014, Fall 2014, Summer 2016), The Knot (January 2017), The Perfect Palette, Green Weddings Shoes, The Lovely Find, Grey Likes Weddings, and Rustic Wedding Chic. I celebrated my fourth year as a business owner and sixth year as a wedding planner in 2017, with almost 100 5-star reviews from clients.
Location/Coverage: Atlanta and the Southeast US
Favorite thing about weddings in the South? The food! It’s rare that one of our brides doesn’t at least consider fried chicken for an entree, and mac and cheese is never missing from the menu.
Favorite part of a wedding day? I love it when my couple is introduced. There’s such a sigh of relief in that moment; everyone is relaxed, and it’s time to eat and party!
Best piece of advice you can give to brides and grooms? Hire great vendors that you trust and let them run with your ideas. Spend your engagement preparing for your marriage more than your wedding.
Dream travel destination? Portugal and Morocco!
Favorite Southern city? Charleston, SC or Franklin, TN – it’s a tie!
Early bird or night owl? Night owl for sure
Favorite pie flavor? I’d rather have cookies and ice cream!
Favorite biscuit topping? Gravy, of course!
