The people behind the porches
Meet the designers
We're two Little Rock sisters on a mission — to make your porch beautiful, and to bring your neighborhood back to life one front door at a time.
Co-founder & Lead Designer
Melissa Weddle
Melissa is the heart and creative soul of The Front Porch Edit. A graduate of Ouachita Baptist University, she spent a decade in ministry before discovering that her gift for hospitality and beauty could be expressed in a whole new way — one porch at a time. She approaches every design with an artist's eye and a genuine love for the people behind the front door, layering textures, colors, and organic elements into arrangements that feel warm, intentional, and completely alive. She's the one who will spend twenty minutes adjusting a single gourd until it's exactly right, and she wouldn't have it any other way.
Fun fact
Melissa is the smallest of the 6 sisters, but obviously the coolest!
Co-founder & Creative Director
Caroline Ply
Caroline is the creative force and operational backbone of The Front Porch Edit. With a degree in interior design from the University of Arkansas and years of experience in the wedding industry, she brings a rare blend of artistic vision and logistical precision to every project. She thinks in color stories, scale, and seasonal transitions — and she has an uncanny ability to make the entire experience feel effortless, from your first inquiry to the final stem placement. Whether she's sourcing the perfect dried botanical or coordinating a full neighborhood install, Caroline shows up with big energy and an even bigger eye for detail.
Fun fact
Caroline and her husband Austin are high school sweethearts!
