About Designs By Ashlie Smith

Hey! I’m Ashlie, and I’m obsessed with creating beautiful spaces so you can make lasting memories.

I grew up visiting homes that were for on the market with my mom #realtorlife. I fell in love with studying the different layouts and finishes of each home. Any chance I got I would pull out my art supplies and draw up a new floor plan full of all sorts of creative nooks and secret rooms that seemed like a dream to be able to play in. Ahhh, those were the days my friends.

This passion followed me through the years, getting my Master of Architecture, landing an amazing job at an Architecture firm right after college. Where I got the chance to learn from amazing people who taught me everything from the fundamentals of good design to the importance of building client relationships. Through the 7 years working there I began taking on various roles in the firm such as being on the vital workplace committee, planning company events and this truly ignited my passion for the event world.

After awhile I realized I could imagine my life solely planning and designing events, so I began working on the side to build my business. I feel lucky to still have that passion for bringing spaces to life that I have had since I was a kid. However, now I do that by bringing peoples visions of their wedding day to life. And there is truly nothing more magical than doing what I love most in life every single day.

Here are some facts about me:

  • I have been married since 2016 to to my wonderful husband Cody
  • I’m a dog mom to our sweet Cavapoo Millie
  • I’m obsessed with Joanna Gaines and Post Malone ─ those are not mutually exclusive
  • I live in the beautiful state of Washington in a TINY HOME. Yes, as in a 8 1/2’ x 34’ TINY HOME that I got to design
  • Top three songs I love to hear at a wedding that always get people on the dance floor - Dancing Queen, Mr. Brightside, and Get Low!!!

I love getting to know people so I can truly understand their hopes and goals and turn them into reality. Whether you need help planning your wedding, need help with the design side or even just need some decor rentals or a photo booth, we want to help you in any way we can!

I can’t wait to meet you!
