    Melissa was fabulous!

    I would highly recommend Melissa to anyone planning a wedding! Her prices are super fair, and she was a lifesaver for making sure we had everything covered for our big day. There are so many small (but important) details we would have completely overlooked without her help.

    Wedding florals

    Melissa at Southern Elegance was absolutely phenomenal to work with for my wedding florals! Her work was beautiful and exactly what I wanted! She is so sweet and easy to work with. She is quick to answer any questions you may have! She definitely made my wedding day extra special!

    Dream Come True!

    If you are looking for a wedding coordinator or planner, you’ve found it! I would relive the craziness of wedding planning 10x over knowing I had Southern Elegance on my side. Melissa and Rodger are an absolute DREAM to work with! From the beginning it feels like a beloved family member is helping you — they’re the most incredible humans with EXPERT knowledge on all things wedding. My husband and I used them for wedding coordinator as well as flowers. The wedding day itself was flawless and could not have ran smoother — this was all attributed to Melissa and Rodger, hands down. Their meticulous dedication to detail leading up to the day was obvious with how the day went — my family and I were able to enjoy the day, stress free and confident that it was all going to go as planned. They were available to answer ALL my questions leading up to the wedding and gave the solid, honest advice we needed to make the best decisions for us. They worked with our vision and made it reality, even better than I had pictured it myself. Leading up to our wedding, I’d spend my time obsessing over Pinterest-perfect weddings — thanks to Southern Elegance, our wedding now goes down in that category. The florals they created were true masterpieces. Not only were they works of art, but Melissa and Rodger have the eye to set them up where they will be best enjoyed as well as shine through in pictures. I do not have enough words to encompass just how truly spectacular Southern Elegance is. All I know is that second to saying yes to marrying my husband, having them part of our special day was the best decision I’ve ever made!

    Mother of the Bride

    A true professional, Melissa, certainly delivered in more ways than one. As a wedding planner, we found her contacts and experience to be so helpful for securing the best vendors. Melissa’s services provided creative ideas, friendly reminders, and responsive communications for sure. Our dreams came true with her expert floral designs. The most beautiful flowers, truly breathtaking! We highly recommend and definitely would use Melissa’s services again. Super job!! Melissa has been a pleasure to work with and exceeded our expectations from start to finish.

    Great job Southern Elegance!

    We chose Melissa for our day of coordinator & florist for our July 2022 wedding. Melissa was absolutely wonderful to work with. She really listed to all of my ideas & played such a vital role in making my vision come to life. I found Melissa to be very organized, professional & communicative. She & her husband Rodger made an excellent team when it came to day of set up/take down. Not to mention, her floral arrangements are absolutely beautiful & she worked really hard to keep the florals within my budget. I would definitely recommend Southern Elegance to anyone in the Middle TN area who is looking for great coordination/planning services in addition to beautiful flowers.

    Melissa is wonderful

    Melissa was the calm in the storm that was our daughter's wedding day. She brought order, system, smoothness, competence, and grace to the big day. It's important to have a grownup overseeing everything. We'd hire Melissa and her team again in a heartbeat. We highly recommend her.

    Southern Elegance made my Wedding

    I immediately knew after speaking with Melissa that she would be the one florist that could bring my unique vision to life. We talked back and forth matching colors and shapes that I wanted and she delivered beyond my wildest expectations. I would hire her again in the future and recommend her to anyone needing a florist/planner.

    Coordination, floral design, and decoration

    Melissa with Southern Elegance was my coordinator, as well as my florist and decorator. She helped me plan the perfect day! She goes above and beyond when it comes to pre-planning and keeping you on track/keeping track of things you need. I will also say the venue was gorgeous, stunning, dreamy, all of the beautiful adjectives!!! She really has an eye for design and it would have not been the same without her and her endless storage unit of decorations. She will also go to any means necessary to contact your vendors when you can’t get ahold of them/don’t have time to go back and forth.

    Amazing customer service and lovely florals!

    Melissa was so helpful from the very first moment I reached out to her to get a quote for flowers. She spent so much time understanding exactly what our vision was. She went the extra mile to get to know me and put so much into making our wedding perfect! Not only were the flowers perfect and exactly what I wanted, so quickly made herself a friend! She prayed with me, text just to see how I was doing and made herself available for all our needs! Check her out for your wedding needs!! Our florals were amazing and she definitely brought our vision to life! Thank you!!!

    Southern Elegance did a wonderful job!!

    Southern Elegance did a wonderful job orchestrating my sister’s wedding. As the maid of honor, I almost felt like I should be doing more but Melissa took care of everything! She has years of experience that guide her decision making and professional expertise. I would highly recommend Southern Elegance for you or loved one’s special day.

    Incredible

    Melissa made our dreams come true with the most beautiful wedding we could have ever imagined. We had to change our wedding plans multiple times throughout the process, and Melissa was so flexible and always listened to what we wanted. She did everything in her power to make sure that our wedding day went smoothly and was the least stressful that it could have been. BOOK HER, you will not regret it!

    I've known the owner personally for over twenty years. She has a vision and a passion unlike anyone else and can make your event breathtakingly beautiful while keeping your own personality and budget in mind. She also has the southern charm and heart to match and is a pleasure to know and work with.

    Imagine the most beautiful wedding for your daughter/son with every detail covered and nothing forgotten or overlooked. That is what you can expect from Southern Elegance. Their creativity produces “Southern Elegance” at its finest. I was so happy with everything from floral arrangements to place settings to design and placement of drapes. I was so very proud!!!

    Now that you've found Southern Elegance, your search is over.

    I was the bride that wanted the perfect wedding, but had no idea how to create a vision and certainly didn't have the tools to execute it. Here's where Melissa was my wedding angel. She knew all the questions to ask me to pull the elements I wanted together into the fairy tale wedding that me and my husband will talk about for the rest of our lives. Melissa took all of my stress away during the planning process by anticipating details that I would have never addressed. Wedding planning was fun because of her, and the finished result brought my husband to tears. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my wedding day. No words can describe how wonderful and talented Southern Elegance is, and how much of my wedding I owe to their services.

    Stress free

    Southern Elegance made planning my wedding so easy and stress free. She had so many ideas that I had never thought of. The decorations were more beautiful. I simple told her the colors I wanted and the style I like and it seemed like all my visions I had in my head were literally before my eyes. Southern Elegance is very budget friendly. I highly recommend them for any event.

    Amazing Event Planner

    Melissa did an amazing job helping me plan my wedding! I was very hands on and just needed some help the day of and with the details and she stepped in and executed it all perfectly. I was going for a simple elegant vibe and it was more beautiful than I could ever think or imagine. While my mom was states away during the planning, Melissa was like a mom as she swooped in and helped in all kinds of ways. She thinks of every detail even ones I had completely forgotten. All I can say is perfect and amazing! You want Melissa for your wedding!

    SO Helpful

    I hired Melissa to be my wedding coordinator and do my flowers. It was so helpful having both of these things in one place! She was so helpful in helping me decide how to decorate, and executed it better than I could have imagined! Everything turned out so beautiful! As far as wedding coordination goes, she was so helpful in asking questions about the ceremony etc that I had never even thought of! Having a wedding coordinator who also did my decor and flowers really cut down on the stress of the day! With Melissa's help, everything about our day ran smoothly and was everything I ever wanted!!!

    Melissa was so helpful during the wedding planning process. She was able to schedule a last minute appointment with a bridal shop when others were canceling because of weather. She has valueable suggestions and is easy to work with and very patient!
