Working with Melissa was hands down my favorite part of the wedding planning process. I didn’t even know I was interested in the floral aspect of our wedding until I started working with Melissa! Our wedding planner recommended Miss Meliss, because she thought Melissa would be a good fit with our vision. Melissa was not only a good fit, she was a key part of our design process! When you think of someone who goes above and beyond, think 10x beyond that for Melissa. Starting with our initial phone call, we went through everything in detail, and when I didn’t know what we wanted to do for certain aspects of the wedding, Melissa provided guidance and suggestions that were spot on. She attended venue walkthroughs with us and our planner and worked so well with all the other vendor teams. And the florals themselves were INCREDIBLE. Don’t be fooled by the word florals, because Melissa provides so much more than that. For example, there was a miscommunication with the venue and we weren’t going to be able to use the same set of rental chairs for our ceremony and reception as we had originally thought. That meant we would have had to rent an extra set of chairs or use the generic ones provided by the venue. We were disappointed, but decided to save money and use the generic chairs. Well, behind the scenes, Melissa and our planner rescued our original vision and convinced the venue to let us use the rental chairs for both!

If you’re thinking of working with Melissa, you should 100% book her now. You will end up loving her as much as we do!

Melissa is out of this universe good. You have a vision, not only does she execute it she goes above and beyond to make it that much more magical. Her talent is more than just having an eye, she is a power house . Her designs are ones that you have never seen before. She truly creates a unique vision that you never thought in wildest dreams could come true and makes it happen. She really understands how to elevate your personal taste and create a cohesive look. I truly felt every little touch from my bouquet to table settings was above and beyond what I asked for. She truly made my wedding the beautiful one I always dreamt of.

Melissa was absolutely amazing to work with while we were planning out wedding. We were planning from across the country so having vendors that were organized and responsive was absolutely critical for keeping my stress level under control. Melissa not only provided input on the flowers, which turned out beautifully and were exactly what I had been hoping for, but also helped with our whole tablescape and look for the day. She was willing to go above and beyond to communicate with my planner and other vendors, particularly our rehearsal dinner location, to make sure we had everything we needed throughout the day. I couldn't recommend her highly enough!

the owner Melissa, made our daughters wedding so incredibly beautiful. this was way beyond anything we had envisioned. it looked like a design straight out of a magazine! we are full of gratitude and appreciation. thank you for realizing your god given talent and sharing it with others. if you want the best, look no further. we highly recommend miss meliss

I can’t say enough great things about Melissa! From day one, she was incredibly helpful and friendly. She always made herself available, via phone and/or email, and answered each one of my million questions thoughtfully and thoroughly. She had this incredible ability to make sense of my mumbled and disorganized thoughts and turn it into a beautiful reality. Some things that really set her apart:

- During the venue walk through, she listened to my preferences and ideas and made recommendations to take the design to the next level. The walk through was the first time I saw the new ceremony space at my venue, Villa Montalvo. It was gorgeous, but the plants was not mature so the building behind where we were doing our vows really stood out. Melissa shopped for and sewed draping to fit the space! She also had the idea of doing a floral chandelier! It was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.
- She has incredible style so I went to her for advice on multiple design questions.
- Her lush floral designs are absolutely stunning! Guests commented on my flowers more than anything else.
- She added the cutest apricots with “I Do” banners to each of the guest seats :)
- She was so sweet and surprised us on the day of our wedding! She added an incredible floral arrangement in the fireplace and on the mantel. It was gorgeous. She also decorated our hotel room!!!

Her passion for flowers and weddings emanates through her and her work. She was my favorite vendor to work with and I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Miss Meliss designed our flowers for our wedding this past summer in July at a private estate in Tahoe. I cannot say enough about her and her team! Melissa held my hand throughout the whole processes. I sent multiple emails with so many questions all the time at random hours of the day/night and never once did I feel I was being an annoying stressed out bride to her. Melissa even met with us on site in Tahoe for our consultation. She was very professional in the way she handled herself. But, what I most liked about Melissa was she felt like a caring friend who truly wants your wedding day to be perfect as if it was her own.

I mostly worked with Melissa for the 8 months leading up to our wedding day. My fiancé, now husband, at the time was feeling a little stressed out with how much money we were spending on flowers but really everything in general. Though we went a little out of our budget with flowers because I just couldn't help myself, Melissa reassured that come day of it would be beautiful and worth it. And, let me tell you, she was right. The moment I started walking down the aisle I was in awe of everything. Her work is truly breath taking. The attention to detail and the fullness of her bouquets to the table arrangements and the chuppah she designed for us was spectacular and lush. You see what you are getting in writing on the invoice and think "oh that's beautiful" but it's another thing to see it come to life in person. WOW!!! To this day we still have our guests talking about the flowers. Even my husband who was a little nervous about the money said it was well worth every penny we spent. Melissa went above and beyond and it truly shows. I highly recommend her for flowers.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Melissa and her work. As a stressed out bride she made me feel completely at ease and showed me she cared about my vision for the wedding before I even booked with her which wasn't the same with all of the florists I met with. One of the things I appreciated most was that I had wine box centerpiece holderrs and she was the only florist that was open-minded and excited to make it work because it was what I really wanted. She even takes the time to pinterest flowers and details with you and do a walk-through so that you can see it all come to life. She is extremely patient and will have plenty of conversations with you no matter how neurotic you are (me!) to ensure you both are in agreement about every detail. Her work is one of a kind and she will help you try to stay close to your budget without sacrificing the details. She's super quick when responding to e-mails unless she's in the studio but you will always get a response in a timely manner. I used her for a 200 person wedding and people are still raving about the flowers and the bouquets.

Melissa was AMAZING! She grasped my style right away and transformed our wedding vision flawlessly! She was such a pleasure to work with. I relied on Melissa over the past year almost as much as our coordinator, she truly set the scene for our perfect day which we couldn't have imagined anything more. She went above and beyond by adding extra greenery at the last minute, bringing lanterns when we found out it was going to rain, and adding extra flowers to our wedding cake. Melissa was incredible and I am going to truly miss talking to her every few weeks!

Miss Meliss came up with the best ideas to make my wedding complete. I had specific ideas of what I wanted for my bouquet, bouts, and parents. However I was open to other areas of decoration. When I arrived my venue, she had done a wonderful job incorporating floral touches throughout that really made the different areas pop. Places that I hadn't visualized incorporating blooms were touched with beauty! And the flowers she selected were gorgeous. Beautiful colors, big blooms and fresh as can be. Even after sitting out at the wedding, the vase arrangements lasted all week for us to enjoy at home.

Miss Meliss made my Wedding Day look like a fairytale. She exceeded my expectations and more! I had to plan everything from Louisiana (without being able to see anything in person) and she made my vision a reality. Miss Meliss is professional, creative, and super personable. She is THE florist to use!
