About

Her journey started at the age of six years old, Melissa-May was surrounded by all aspects of creativity. She would sit and watch her grandmother create dresses for her to wear, while she would help cut the fabric and measure the lengths without a pattern. Her ability to visualize things, put them onto paper and create anything from scratch was also apparent at a young age when she completed an illustration of her dream house, then constructed an entire floor plan and a model house made out of popsicle sticks. Furthermore, at the age of 12, her friend’s mother noticed Melissa-May’s gift of artistry and requested that she create cartoon place cards for her daughter’s Bat Mitzvah. She later was asked to create the invitations and centerpieces for her best friend’s Debutant ball.


Moments such as these influenced Melissa’s artistic abilities and gave her the initiative to further express her undying passion, DESIGN. After studying Fashion Design at Moore College of Art & Design, Melissa received a professional certificate in interior design from Temple University and another professional certificate in event planning and consulting from the same university. With the goal of turning something ordinary in to EXTRAORDINARY, Melissa utilizes her exceptional skill set to grant her clients’ interior, floral, and event design wishes.

Best Florist out there!!

Melissa and her team are fantastic! She is very responsive and her creativity and workmanship is top-notch. Working with her and her team was a breeze! We had to make a change at the last minute due to weather, and her and her team adapted immediately and took care of everything! We didn't have to worry about a thing! I would absolutely use her and her team for any of my floral needs again and again!

Loved it - Design & Service

So I’m not a girly-girl so I’m not into flowers and such, I’m more rustic and simple. On the other hand, my mom and wedding planner (sister) love this. Melissa took my vision and ran with it. My husband and I absolutely loved it!! Judge for yourself - superb!

A beautiful vision brought to life

My girlfriend and I came to Melissa-May Florals with no direction or which way she wanted to go with her wedding. Melissa requested a color and brought a wedding to life. This woman’s talents in this business is superb. Everything was beautiful. I highly recommend Melissa-May for all floral needs.

Highly Recommended

One of the best flower shops I've ever stepped in and surely one of the best in the business. Melissa was absolutely amazing from the beginning to the very end. I will always use her for my flowers in the future.

I was overjoyed to see my expectations met and then some! All I told Melissa was that I needed a carribean style arrangement. I allowed her to create the palette. Boy am I happy allowed her to create because the arrangement far surpassed what I could have communicated. Not to mention they lasted an extended period of time after the event so I had beautiful flowers keeping me company at home. Melissa is my new go to florist.

The flower arrangements were absolutely gorgeous. We got so many compliments. Several people asked if they could take an arrangement home to decorate since they were perfect colors. Melissa was wonderful to work with. We highly recommend her and her shop. Thank you again!

Best place I have ever gone to for flowers. Melissa-May ALWAYS has the best selection. We just give her ideas of what we are looking for and she always makes the most beautiful arrangements. She always goes the extra mile for our family events (taking over the duties of Event Planner). Hands down the best around!
Thank you Melissa-May!
