 Working with Melissa and the team at Southern Elegance was a wonderful experience! I cannot express how grateful I am to have had them by our sides in planning our wedding. Melissa’s attentiveness to every detail, professionalism, communication, flexibility, and quality of service is unmatched. In addition to assisting with planning and coordination, Melissa went above and beyond in bringing our wedding vision to life with her eye for design, floral styling, and vendor references. I would highly recommend Southern Elegance to any couple!

 Choosing Southern Elegance as the wedding coordinator and floral designer for my daughter’s wedding was a great decision! Melissa and Rodger were by our sides during months of planning. They helped us navigate through all of the challenges that came with Covid restrictions, from attending each venue meeting to adjusting plans due to frequently changing guidelines. Melissa listened to our ideas and turned them into reality. Her floral designs were simply beautiful and received SO many compliments. When I casually mentioned that I would love to surprise my daughter and son-in-law with a horse and carriage send-off, Melissa jumped into action and made it happen! She is very organized, creative, and receptive. If you want professional wedding planning services with a personal touch, look no further than Southern Elegance!

 Guys..... my flowers for the wedding were GORGEOUS! Melissa was so sweet and gave me such great value of flowers at a great price! She even gave me tips on what I could get cheap off Amazon for her to use as decorations. I wish I could have frozen my bouquet in time. I had never seen one so vibrant and lovely as the one she did for me! She reused my isle markers as centerpieces which were perfect decorations for the ceremony and reception. She also did 2 additional bouquets, a boutonniere, and a corsage. I loved our flowers so much, and I definitely think you should hire her!

 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!!!

 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!

 I was so thrilled with the beautiful day my daughter and new son in law had thanks to Southern Elegance Wedding Events & Floral Design! Due to Covid 19, getting these 2 married was definitely a roller coaster, but Melissa kept me sane with her help planning & encouragement!! Melissa made Emma & Joseph’s day even better than they envisioned it by accommodating their every need, in addition to her expert opinion. She has such an eye for transforming any space into exactly what you want it to be. I highly recommend Melissa’s services for anyone who wants their dream wedding brought to life!

 Melissa is a creative, professional, wedding genius. Planning a wedding through a pandemic was an absolute nightmare and Melissa was so calm and experienced, which helped me so incredibly much. I will always recommend Southern Elegance to any middle Tennessee bride. Melissa has untouchable experience and vision to make your wedding better than your dreams. I was speechless seeing her stunning work the day of my wedding and pictures can’t capture the true beauty of her creations. Thank you, Southern Elegance! 10/10 would highly recommend!

 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! 

Emma & Joseph: Bride & Groom

 Southern Elegance you did an AMAZING job and working with you was such a pleasure. As a photographer, floral arrangements and decor play an important roll in making images special. The decor and getting it set up can be stressful for the family but Emma and Joseph and their families didn’t have a care in the world with you in charge of all of that. It looked like a wonderland. You and your team were a complete blessing not just to the families but to us as well. Thank you and I hope to work with you again very soon!!!

Southern Elegance was extremely flexible, professional, and accommodating. The guests, bride, and family were so impressed by the work of Southern Elegance. A dream come true!

 "Melissa made the process of planning my wedding from something I was stressed about to something I could enjoy. She thinks of every detail, especially the ones you were never going to consider, but actually make a big difference on the big day. My advice to any bride no matter the budget would be to enlist the help of someone who truly pursues your vision for your wedding day so well that all your guests see you on your big day and think you must have done it all yourself. That's what you are getting into with this talented woman. The best wedding planning decision I made was having Melissa by my side.

 "Melissa made the stressful process of figuring out the decor and florals for or wedding so easy. She was very easy to work with and flexible to our needs and our budget. She was also very thorough in remembering what we had talked about each time we had a phone conversation as well as sending me pictures of all the floral arrangements that she had made for my approval. She definitely made all my dreams come true for my Fall wedding. Melissa not only decorated for our wedding ceremony, she also decorated for our reception. It was wonderful. I would highly recommend her for any of your decorating needs.

 I have known Melissa for the last twenty years. You can't ask for a more loving, caring and detail oriented individual to help plan your special event. Over the years I have had the privilege of attending many events Melissa has planned and hosted. She is both professional and elegant in her style and she has the "vision" and the skills to make any special occasion beautiful and one that will definitely be remembered for years. If you are looking for someone to help make your wedding or event beautiful and classy, you will not regret choosing Southern Elegance.

I have personally known Melissa Bryant for more than 25 years and have witnessed her beautifully decorated celebrations on multiple occasions. The first time was my own daughter's wedding. Over the course of many years, I have seen her use her talents to turn any event into beautifully decorated venues. From rehearsal dinners to graduation parties to weddings and receptions, Southern Elegance pays attention to every detail. Every place setting, every flower, every detail will leave the bride and groom so happy that they chose Southern Elegance to help plan their special day. You will not be disappointed!"

From her decorating for a party to decorating her home to ideas for a venue, I always know she will make everything lovely, but more importantly tasteful!

 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.
