Growing up in Alabama, my parent’s loved to host family and friends with dinner parties, holiday get-togethers, and festive celebrations. I grew up to love planning, decorating, and entertaining. One day, after helping my niece plan her wedding and continuing with this new second job, I decided to make my passion my main career. Thus, Lemon Drops was born! My husband and I started the business in the garage of our home but have grown and expanded into the brick and mortar storefront our clients know today.

Kristine and the Lemon Drops team truly went above and beyond to help my wedding come together, and went even further above and beyond when hurricane helene hit two days before the event.
I cannot express how amazing it was working with the Lemon Drops team, with Kristine as our captain. I'd describe some vague concept, and Kristine would some how understand the vision and put it together for me. She was so easy to work with, forming a kind and friendly relationship throughout the planning process. She was knowledgeable about pretty much everything in the wedding world as she's worked in so many different areas of the wedding world. It was also incredible beneficial that our wedding planner and florist were one and the same, the outcome was STUNNING especially noting that I wanted nothing traditional. Her and the team's attention during the event was impeccable, she made sure I had whatever I need without me having to ask, be it water or a safety pin or a lipstick touch up.
When hurricane helene came days before my wedding, she worked so hard to help us work out a plan b - and plan c - to each wedding event, which we ended up desperately needing.
Thank you, Kristine!

Look no further. Since day 1 LemonDrops was nothing but amazing to work with. LemonDrops made planning a wedding so exciting and fun! LemonDrops arranged our florals and decor including bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, arch, aisle, centerpieces, etc. I could not have even imagined anything more beautiful! I was so happy to see the ceremony beautifully decorated after months of planning. along the way, every meeting was productive and every question I had was answered with ease. The best part of everyone that we worked with(Marissa, Kristine, Liz, Kassy, Mel, Jim), is no one ever seemed to be annoyed or rolling their eyes at details that I changed my mind on or wanted to be changed. They truly wanted everything to be perfect which we appreciated :) Even on our wedding day we never felt the need to be worried about anything because they had our trust!

Stunning wedding bouquet! I hired Lemon Drop to arrange just my bouquet for my wedding day. I wanted something special, and they took care of everything. I told them my colors, and they designed this positively stunning bouquet. They recommended this cascade and I was simply speechless when they delivered it. I did a bouquet dedication to my mother instead of a bouquet toss, and having such a stunning bouquet made that moment even more special. Thank you to Liz, Kristine, and the rest of the amazing team!

Working along side Lemon Drop's staff was amazing!
Not only did they constantly keep us in the loop, but made sure my wife (second shooter) and I were taken care of. They always asked if we needed help with anything, and above all, just felt like a breath of fresh air being next to them in an important event! The couple absolutely loved this group and we to this day still talk about Lemon Drops remarkable performance, from the set ups to the professionalism they carried through!
Cannot wait to work with you guys again soon!
Love your vibe and energy!!!

We had lemon drops do our bouquet, boutonnière, flower crown for the flower girl, and the throwing petals - and we are so happy we did.
Lemon Drops collaborative process was so easy on my side with example pictures of the flower combinations, that I did not have one worry about how everything would come out.
Our flowers were so beautiful and highly complimented. We loved them so much we are currently drying all the flowers to save them for preserving.

The Lemon Drops team was absolutely amazing.
From our first phone consult to the execution of the design, everything was perfect and gorgeous.
Their inventory of design items to choose from is outstanding, and their mix of classic with creative was exactly the look we wanted to achieve.
We also used them for our day-of wedding coordination and they were so fun and helpful. We really didn't have to worry about a single thing.
I'd recommend their services in a heartbeat!

I had a wonderful experience with Lemon Drops from our first phone consultation through our wedding day. I knew that I wanted tropical greenery and white flowers, and Marissa helped guide me through different pricing options to stay within our budget, and suggested flowers that would work well together. When a last minute issue came up with one of the flowers I had chosen, they replaced with an upgraded option free of charge. The arrangements were perfect and I couldn’t have been happier!

It was such a pleasure to work with Lemon Drops on our big day! Lemon Drops was our florist as well as our month of coordinator for our wedding. We worked with Kristine, and she was absolutely AMAZING!! We honestly don't know how we would have made it through the day without her. Kristine was always incredibly responsive and very organized. We felt like she really took the time to learn what mattered to my husband and me throughout the entire process. Knowing that she was "on it" on our big day really let us focus on being present in every moment. Our flowers were exactly what we pictured as well. They were fresh and lasted beautifully for several days! We couldn't be more grateful to Lemon Drops, especially Kristine, for making sure our day was so special, all the way from the beautiful flowers to all the details!

I can't recommend Lemon Drops enough. I used their florist as well as the wedding planner services. They were amazing.
They were so helpful especially as I became more stressed approaching the wedding. They understood my vision exactly, they were very clear and detailed in all communication. Kristine was my main wedding planner and Liz assisted. They were both so amazing I felt like I was in good hands. It was perfect! I wish I had more events so I could work with them again.

Melanie at Lemon Drops was the most wonderful to work with! We were about 6 weeks out from our wedding when my (now) husband found Lemon Drops after hitting a few bumps. Not only was the customer service top notch, welcoming, and comforting, the artistic vision was amazing! I didn’t really have an idea about what I wanted and we showed Melanie our invitations and she took it from there! My bouquet and flowers were stunning! I highly Recommend working with Lemon Drops! Also, the store is so beautiful and cute and has so much to look at and small gifts to purchase!

I don’t have enough glowing praise to give this team! I planned a destination wedding from across the state using Lemon Drops and had the absolute best wedding ever!! My friends and family have not stopped talking about the florals and how on top of everything Melanie was for day of coordination. Peyton became best friends with my over stimulated, over tired, non-cooperative flower girl. She was so good with her. I also had my autistic nephew as my ring bearer and Melanie gave him clear directions so he could do his job. I can not speak highly enough of the communication in the planning stages. Kristen is an organization genius and asked me all the right questions that I wouldn’t have thought of. My husband gives them a million stars!!

I worked with Kristine in the run up to my wedding in Treasure Island, Florida. I was planning the whole thing remotely from Scotland which would have been stressful under most circumstances. However, Kristine was the most communicative and helpful of anyone I have ever worked with. She asked me to provide her some pictures and a mood board type idea of my vision so that she could create flowers that matched my colour scheme perfectly but also that encorporated the Scottish theme (how she got thistles in my bouquet and button-holes in Florida still amazes me!). She also helped my with lots of last minute requests such as a different button-hole for the groom, a headpiece for my flower girl and wrist corsages for the moms. I never felt stressed throughout the entire journey working with her because I knew nothing would be too much to ask and that she would help and support any way she could ensuring to always respond to my many emails, super promptly. On the big days the bouquets, button-holes, petals, head piece and wrist corsages were delivery promptly and the gent showed us how to attach, fix them on etc... They were absolutely beautiful and we received so many compliments. Thank you so much, you were amazing!!!

The Lemon Drops team is amazing! I could not recommend Fay Ellen and Lindsay more! From the first consultation all the way to the day of - I wouldn't change a thing. They did an amazing job helping me with my budget and making my vision come true. The florals in my opinion were the scariest thing to plan for because there was no way to see what it would look like until the big day. I was OBSESSED with how they turned out. The 3 different arrangements were all perfect in their own way. If you are questioning month of coordinating package - DO IT. Everyone in the bridal party and all my vendors were getting texts throughout the entire day of what is happening next and where to be. I did not worry about a thing because I knew they were taking care of me. They were so sweet and supportive throughout the whole planning process. I highly recommend!

We used cut greenery on the tables and didn’t have a traditional bridal party, so my bouquet was the only floral detail of our wedding. I sent over some inspiration photos and our budget, and they created a stunning bouquet that fit my vision perfectly! I made a couple tweaks after they sent the initial proposal, and they were happy to accommodate. So glad we went with Lemon Drops!

A few weeks after our wedding, I am still blown away by how beautiful our floral arrangements were from Lemon Drops!
Our wedding planner put us in contact with Lemon Drops and I am so extremely happy we went with them. Melanie and Delaney are so professional and easy to work with. They were honest with my husband and I when we talked about our budget and what we wanted for the day. They answered all of our questions and even were able to send some sample designs from previous weddings our way for us to get an idea of how our arrangements would look. We decided on just a floral bouquet and a boutonniere (small wedding), and they never made us feel less important because of our small order.
When the day came, I was truly stunned at how beautiful our flowers were. The bouquet was so thoughtfully composed and the flowers were obviously fresh and so vibrant. The boutonniere was so simply but artfully constructed, it was the perfect addition to my husbands outfit.
I have not one single complaint about our experience with Lemon Drops and highly recommend them to anyone in need of some gorgeous flowers!

We had ideas of what we wanted our wedding and floral to look like but we weren’t sure about how to put it all together, Melanie took it to the next level with her event planning, decorations, and floral arrangements. We’re so glad we had her to create beautiful memories! She and her team were always very responsive and knew what they were doing. We would highly recommend them! I dont think we could have pulled off our wedding anywhere close to how well she did.

From the moment I talked to Melanie on the phone I knew that she would make our destination wedding perfect, I just wish that I had met her sooner! Melanie was able to step in and help us just 3 weeks before the wedding after our original planner backed out- she was more than up to the task and listened to all of our requests and concerns from day 1. Melanie and her husband were there for over 14 hours of wedding day activities and kept everything running smoothly- they were absolutely amazing and made my dreams and vision for a perfect wedding a reality. I would absolutely recommend this team to any bride- my family and I have said over and over that we couldn't have made it through the day without them!
