Brighten Up Nashville delivers fresh cut flower arrangements and gift bags to widows in the Nashville Metro Area every Valentine’s Day. We believe that everyone deserves love and care on Valentine’s Day, especially those who may be feeling the absence of their loved ones.

Our mission is to show widows that they are cherished, valued and remembered.

    Kathy

  • "I was a recipient of one of your lovely Valentine’s Day deliveries. My husband had passed in January. When I received this gift, I was in one of the darkest places I could be. When it arrived, it was absolutely the sweetest kindest thing that anybody had ever done for me."

    Janice

    Helen

  • "I just wanted to thank you for my surprise Valentines bouquet and all the other nice gifts that you included with it. I thought it was so kind of you to do this (actually, I was overwhelmed) that you would think of a senior widow. Thank you, thank you from my heart to yours."

    Anne

  • "I wanted to say thank you for making my whole day. I cried for an hour because of your kindness and beautiful vase of flowers and stunning loving gifts. It isn’t the easiest being a widow and having this holiday with everyone posting what they got. I usually just stay offline for those reasons, but I got to post how wonderful my day turned out because of Brighten Up Nashville."

    Carol

  • "What a blessing came knocking on my door yesterday. Thank you so much, truly, from my heart. The bouquet of roses and hydrangeas are awesome! over the top! AMAZINGLY ELEGANT. I don't think I've EVER received  anything so elaborate. BTW: My husband and I were engaged on Valentine 1960, always a sweet memory. "
