They also recently added their own line of coffee to the mix.

Southern Elegance Designs is their event design company that offers floral design,catering, cakes and more!

Shelley and Tonjua have known each other since they were babies. They did their own children’s weddings, followed by one at the Windmill Museum. This one got published in The Knot, so they had to decide on a name for their business quickly and they chose Southern Elegance. They started in Shelley’s dining room and grew up there organically; never borrowing a penny!

What inspires you?

Shelley: Brides with no money that have a lot of ideas but not a lot of money. It

inspires me to want to give them a really special day.

Tonjua: Seeing the end process after all of our planning and brainstorming, and then

seeing our brides’ (& families’) faces when they see the end result.

What is your favorite thing about what y’all do?

S: Floral design. Working with the families and getting to know them!

T: Seeing the bride’s face when she sees the final product. When her eyes glisten and she

is excited!

mother of the bride and bride a stress free day where they are not having to worry about

anything. Our foundation is built upon this principle
