Living Luxuriously for Less Hi Melony! Thank you for your videos!! can you do a video on how to set up a luxury salon suite? I have a 115sq salon suite I want to decorate to wow my clients! I’m looking for a elegant romantic theme . Thank you!
I wish you could do my wedding I had people not answer and take pictures of my sketches but when we was supposed to walk my venue did not answer I'm in pensacola FL if it's possible let me know thanks love your videos
Wow the disaster with the burning centerpiece/table cloth was scary. I'm glad you were able to put it out and keep things moving. It sounds like a gorgeous idea. I wonder how LED candles would look. The kids had fun in the rain so not a total loss. The disaster with the burning centerpiece/table cloth was scary. I'm glad you were able to put it out and keep things moving.

Love your honesty!! The event that caught on fire GOT ME 😯. Thank you for sharing the recommendations. I also feel so bad about your back drop no PUN intended!! Meaning when you poor thing fell off the chair. That could have been very serious, glad were better after a week of bed rest.
You are so AWESOME, Mrs. Melanie! 🤩 Your candid and open discussions about event planning are spot on! Thank you for sharing your "disasters" with us. 😊 May God continue to bless you and your family.
Wow! I never would have thought that you had any mishaps. Your events are always flawless. Thanks for sharing your experiences. The fire with the glam decor, my mouth literally dropped open. Running out the door with everything still lit, was dedication.
After the storm comes the rainbow girl! Each one of those experiences have helped you become the success you are today, and to me you are such an huge blessing, I love your art and the love you put in every detail big or small. Thank you Melanie for sharing your experiences and knowledge with us ❤God continue to bless you🙏
The fire..... do you carry a fire extinguisher now? Glad you only suffered those 2 marks. I was on the edge of my seat wondering how badly you were injured scooping up the burning items! Whew! The 2nd, I have to say, the fall!! Lawdyhavemercy. So glad that wasn't worse! In all your situations having proper assistants and you had time to "recover" so your client's event were not total loss. That speaks volumes!
I'm rolling on the floor! Not at the disasters, per se, but your retelling of the events and your expressions are hilarious. My daughter is an event planner and your personal experiences will be helpful for her, because I don't feel that she takes unexpected disasters into account. Thank you for sharing! Be Blessed!
Thank you so much for sharing! I'm an event planner based in California and I've had my share of these experiences. I love your work and authenticity. You are truly an inspiration.
The event that wowed me was the one that you forgot, because I am a very organized person, but we all can have that moment where something is forgotten. I understand how you felt, but when your reputation follows you, people will know how GOOD YOU ARE MELANIE!! NOBODY IS PERFECT. Keep up the great work you do! I am always looking forward for your next video. ❤❣🥰
Melanie, the fire disaster got me. The Looooord had mercy on you, for sure. I've always wondered what happened to your hand. Now, I know. This story will be etched in my head always as well as you falling backwards. I remember you warning us not to stand in a chair and advising us to get a ladder. Thank you so much for sharing the disasters and the lessons learned. One this is for certain, I will take your advice. I do not have to experience it to believe you. Your knowledge and wisdom are appreciated.
Aaaahhhh man!! Stuff happens oh my gosh!! Thanks for sharing cause everything u do is perfect! Guess perfection comes with a price! You live n learn and you're still awesome!
Thank you so much Melanie,your mishaps are a learning experience for me on how to make sure you are safety concerned and prepared for those mishaps, your events are always so beautiful,again thank you.
Lol too funny I remember these videos. I know your anxiety was on 10. This was excellent and so honest. The burn one was my favorite scar physically and mentally you wont ever forget lol but praise God we can laugh at it now. Mel was not burning this 2 million dollar venue down. Omg hilarious. Thanks again.
I LOVED this! Thank you for being so transparent. I had often wondered if you ever have any disasters and if so, how you handled the situation. I would love to see more videos like this and how you deal with angry clients, clients who were not pleased or dissatisfied and also dishonest clients, if any.
What story really hits home for me is your niece story. long story short my granddaughter fifth birthday out of nowhere it poured raining and everything was blowing everywhere getting soaking wet . I was running after balloons going to curb from pavilion . trying to get the kids in the car . My Grandaughter crying saying my party is ruin . 😭😭😅😅Her sister said don’t worry Nana will fix it😐😐 why did she say that LOL I stayed out there cleaning up the water of the benches an table . . I had extra tablecloths thank god . I tied the balloons to the pavilion my granddaughter was so happy till this day she says my Nana can fix any decorations .. Lol 😂 wish me luck im decorating for her 8 th bday in may . 😳😳LOL thanks for sharing your stories
Do appreciate this vlog..You never see the bloopers of the TH-cam community, your examples especially about the backdrop was much needed, I too plan on using backdrops for my upcoming Anniversary party and it's good to know what to expect. Thank you Melanie of Living Luxuriously for Less I applaud you.
Thanks for sharing. It was very helpful. I always say you learn from mistakes so eventhough this was not mine, I learned what not to do. Very helpful. God bless. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💕
Melanie, I voted to hear about the wedding bloopers. Thank you for sharing and showing us the videos as well. You are an awesome teacher and mentor. I am going to enroll in the online Luxe Academy classes. I'm quite excited. Thank you for your simplicity, vulnerability and classiness.
Melanie, thank you for sharing what has to be an event planners "nightmare". I would have to say it would be a tie on "worst" disaster. Your niece's 5th birthday party and the windblown backdrop for the wedding. I love the fact that you were willing to share this with us. You looked "beautiful" in this video, as usual. Take care❤
The best one for me was your niece birthday party, I can only imagine how tickled those kids were at you running around chasing that backdrop. They were full of giggles, and looking forward to the next big party. I’m sure your niece was beyond tickled.....
1st, thank you for the list for centerpieces and your TIPS. Chile.. the little fire mishap at that venue and the brother/sister cross up. So much to consider. Your results are still Phenomenal.
I love all of your videos but this one was EXCELLENT! I really learned a lot from this one. I am new to event planning and this taught me a few things I need to do.
Oh my, thanks for sharing the behind the scenes mishaps of event planning. The fire and you falling both had me like😲😳 I'm so glad you're okay, they both could have been much worse but GOD!!! Thanks for all the helpful tips, btw you look gorgeous as always
It’s good tell your behind the scenes story because your events look like they go off with a hinge but we all have mishaps. The funny one for me was your nieces outdoor party. Y’all running behind balloon and backdrop😂🤣
I've had a few events that didn't go as planned also. Backdrops are my biggest issue. Thank you for the tips, and videos. Though you experienced a few setbacks here and there, your events look exquisite.
Daughters grad party last year in our backyard...the rain was pouring, fortunately we had two tents the music was rocking and over seventy people showed up and danced and took pictures in the wet picture booth.Plus the wedding party for the wedding my oldest daughter was in showed up. Tuxedos and kimonos (Japanese themed wedding) It helps to have understanding guests.
Wow, the event with the fire and you running out the door with the stuff in your hand. And the one where you fell, I thank God that your back injury wasn’t any worse....girrrl omg! But in each disaster there is obviously a lesson from our Father above to be learned to make us better!
Thank you for sharing Melanie. I have had an outside disaster as well. I wish I would have seen this video before my grandmother’s 90th bday drive by and my husband’s 50th. 😀. You are fabulous! I would love for you to mentor me or to have a few mentoring session with you.
😂😂😂 These are funny now but I bet they were not funny at the time. I thought those backdrop bases were heavy and could not be blown down by the wind but thanks for your video I now know to anchor them when using it outside and anywhere that has wind. Tfs Melanie.
Wow. You are so talented and your work is beautiful. It’s a small world. I used to help Karl at Lola’s occasionally. I’ve been to George’s a couple times. All the best to you and your team.
Yes, I’ve had #5 happen for my niece’s Mermaid party this past July too... I had to tie the backdrop to the table because the wind just wouldn’t let me be great lol.. found out that those photo backdrop frames are exactly what they’re for..photos lol. I’m still learning and definitely will be purchasing the standard pipe & drape with the weights! Thanks for sharing🙏🏼 #4 was scary! Sorry you got burnt in the process... but thank God you over looked everything... could have been worst.
The one Had me Like WOW!!... Was The Little Boy & Girl Birthday party.. But It Also was Funny..🤣❤.. LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR ME.... IT. COULD HAPPEN To ANYONE OF US.. Mel🙂... ty. For The Tips... Love it
This vlog was funny. I had the first one happen to me as well. We had The grill going and the tent up. Once the rain started we weren't able to get to the grill and the tent went flying. All I did was sat and cry. Looking back now it seems funny. TFS
Mel, you have to do more videos, like these. The one about George’s 217 was the best one. I can only imagine what was going through your mind when you saw the 🔥. I am surprised you were able to keep it together. I would have passed out after the 🔥 were under control.
Girl a 🔥😱😱 I would have freaked out. I have had a backdrop falling around outside from not being anchored properly. Def inspiration, when things go wrong in my events it makes me feel like never wanting to do events again.
Melanie! Oh Lawd disasters happen Girl! Thanks for keeping it 100! I love the rustic glam wedding. Please never trust a folding chair again. I travel with my rubbermaid ladder. ❤🙏
This was a great idea⚘. Thanks for sharing your real life mishaps. It's important to know glamorous outcomes don't just happen. They're orchestrated and planned very wel, by talented people🥀. I also want to say I'm sorry to hear about your brother. My brother also was killed a year before yours. By an impaired driver on 3/26/ 2013. The pain still lingers, yet I know healing⛅ has come. Continue to be blessed in all the good things - that you all do, in Jesus Christ most Holy true name🌾.
Omg Melanie my first almost disasters was for very close friend I had known sense I was 14 and it was out doors and none of her centerpieces would stay inp place because of all the wind but it still turned out ok. Great video.
My WOW was the event that caught fire. It reminded me of the time that my microwave was popping and caught fire on the inside. Not thinking or was it quick thinking? I grabbed it up and ran out of my front door with it!!! God was truly looking out for me.
I understand about the backdrops. I did an outdoors baby shower during the pandemic and I did anchor it down, but forgot the sand bags and this thing just kept falling over and over,,,smh lesson learned.
No funny but funny I know I have experience on myself and not a fire and thank God hope not never fire you're so funny today I know it's an old video but it's just funny😁
The fire one brought back memories. I sat up a beautiful candle light dinner on my deck for my then boyfriend. When he came from work. I told him I cooked dinner. He said ok I'mma use the bathroom. The centerpieces had a beta fish in it. Im sitting on the deck waiting for him to come. It was taking him awhile. Come to find out he was in the shower. Well finally he out the shower come to the deck to find that the wind had blown the candle down. My tablecloth and chair cushions was on fire the daggon fish had died I was so hurt embarrassed all kinds of feelings. He said dag u killed the fish 😂😂😂 OMG I was crushed. First and only candlelight dinner was a disaster. I laugh now but I wasn't laughing then.

Daughters grad party last year in our backyard...the rain was pouring, fortunately we had two tents the music was rocking and over seventy people showed up and danced and took pictures in the wet picture booth.Plus the wedding party for the wedding my oldest daughter was in showed up. Tuxedos and kimonos (Japanese themed wedding) It helps to have understanding guests.
I've learned a lot from this very. When u got to number 4... I was like Ohhh no.
Thanks as always . Very much appreciated 🙏.
Lol! I know you were....
I noticed you put water in your trumpet vases. Is this the keep the arrangement stable because it is so large?
Yes and cameras reflect better when water is in clear vases
Wow, the event with the fire and you running out the door with the stuff in your hand. And the one where you fell, I thank God that your back injury wasn’t any worse....girrrl omg! But in each disaster there is obviously a lesson from our Father above to be learned to make us better!
Oh my! Yes He was! Sooo grateful!
Melanie the fire was like wow for me.
Me too! Lol! Whew
Thank you for sharing Melanie. I have had an outside disaster as well. I wish I would have seen this video before my grandmother’s 90th bday drive by and my husband’s 50th. 😀. You are fabulous! I would love for you to mentor me or to have a few mentoring session with you.
😂😂😂 These are funny now but I bet they were not funny at the time. I thought those backdrop bases were heavy and could not be blown down by the wind but thanks for your video I now know to anchor them when using it outside and anywhere that has wind. Tfs Melanie.
Definitely anchor them!!!! Now I anchor my backdrops and my soul in the Lord!
Where did you buy the cake table clothe or how do you DYI it I need it for my daughter's wedding please
Wow. You are so talented and your work is beautiful. It’s a small world. I used to help Karl at Lola’s occasionally. I’ve been to George’s a couple times. All the best to you and your team.
Oh wow! Yes it is and Lola’s is amazing!
Yes, I’ve had #5 happen for my niece’s Mermaid party this past July too... I had to tie the backdrop to the table because the wind just wouldn’t let me be great lol.. found out that those photo backdrop frames are exactly what they’re for..photos lol.
I’m still learning and definitely will be purchasing the standard pipe & drape with the weights!
Thanks for sharing🙏🏼
#4 was scary! Sorry you got burnt in the process... but thank God you over looked everything... could have been worst.
The tablecloth and fake flowers on fire definitely WOWED ME.Thank goodness it wasn’t worst
Right!
The one Had me Like WOW!!... Was The Little Boy & Girl Birthday party.. But It Also was Funny..🤣❤.. LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR ME.... IT. COULD HAPPEN To ANYONE OF US.. Mel🙂... ty. For The Tips... Love it
This vlog was funny. I had the first one happen to me as well. We had The grill going and the tent up. Once the rain started we weren't able to get to the grill and the tent went flying. All I did was sat and cry. Looking back now it seems funny. TFS
Paulette Lewis right! We live and we learn!
My condolences on your brother
Thanks love
Mel, you have to do more videos, like these. The one about George’s 217 was the best one. I can only imagine what was going through your mind when you saw the 🔥. I am surprised you were able to keep it together. I would have passed out after the 🔥 were under control.
Lol! I was tooo amped up by then!
Wow... I had problems with the backdrop secure to stay down.... I want make sure the safely
It is imperative to use weights
Girl a 🔥😱😱 I would have freaked out. I have had a backdrop falling around outside from not being anchored properly. Def inspiration, when things go wrong in my events it makes me feel like never wanting to do events again.
Oh yes! Keep going
I just laugh. They all funny
You look stunning in that blue Dress and love your necklace:)

Thanks for sharing your real life mishaps.
It's important to know glamorous outcomes don't just happen.
They're orchestrated and planned very wel, by talented people🥀.
I also want to say I'm sorry to hear about your brother.
My brother also was killed a year before yours.
By an impaired driver on 3/26/ 2013.
The pain still lingers, yet I know healing⛅ has come.

Omg Melanie my first almost disasters was for very close friend I had known sense I was 14 and it was out doors and none of her centerpieces would stay inp place because of all the wind but it still turned out ok. Great video.
Yes! We will win in the wind! Lol!
You had all of the elements against you lol water, wind and fire.
Right lol
Wow 😮 I have had bad experiences with the backdrop frames as well. I HATE OUTDOOR EVENTS, Just thinking about it sickens me 😣
I know the feeling all too well! I am 3/4
My own disaster is with the ladder, worst moment of my life I had to sprain my big toe, then I was still under training.Thanks for your msg
You are so welcome
My WOW was the event that caught fire. It reminded me of the time that my microwave was popping and caught fire on the inside. Not thinking or was it quick thinking? I grabbed it up and ran out of my front door with it!!! God was truly looking out for me.
Yes He was!
Thank you
My pleasure
The FIRE🔥... all I kept on thinking is 2 MILLION DOLLARS 👀
Right me too!

The fire one brought back memories. I sat up a beautiful candle light dinner on my deck for my then boyfriend. When he came from work. I told him I cooked dinner. He said ok I'mma use the bathroom. The centerpieces had a beta fish in it. Im sitting on the deck waiting for him to come. It was taking him awhile. Come to find out he was in the shower. Well finally he out the shower come to the deck to find that the wind had blown the candle down. My tablecloth and chair cushions was on fire the daggon fish had died I was so hurt embarrassed all kinds of feelings. He said dag u killed the fish 😂😂😂 OMG I was crushed. First and only candlelight dinner was a disaster. I laugh now but I wasn't laughing then.
Oh my! Lol! Is he still around?
