ARE WE MEANT TO BE? LETS CHAT!
HEY Y`ALL, WE'RE
Mel & Jim
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.
Studying everything from floral arranging and timeline creation, we dedicated ourselves to knowing the business and being able to adapt to the demanding world of weddings. While I brought the background in event planning and decorating, Jim brought in his ingenuity and craftsmanship; using problem solving skills and his knowledge in construction to build custom arches and figure out the “how to” whenever a bride comes in with a specific dream.
Thank you for visiting our site and we hope you allow us to be a part of your day and join the Lemon Drops Family!
A zest of elegance. A splash of sophistication. A twist of southern charm.

BLEU EUBANKS
Our office extrovert loves meeting our customers and clients when they come into the store. Her tail wags when she gets to be apart of the action and make new friends in the process. If you stop by the shop, be sure to ask for Bleu!
