Foliage & Succulent creations


There is something so amazing in designing with foliages and plant materials. The shades of green and variants in texture ...really the only thing holding you back is an ability to design....
Makes us feel blessed & needed.

Living Walls around the world....


Americans are in general spoilt for space. Chris Lindsay Design's floral studio is huge compared to their floral spaces. In Europe and other regions of the world, people have become very clever about using the space they have. Green spaces in city's are hard to come by. Architects are creating living walls and roofs that are not only breathtaking but keep buildings cooler, purify the air we breath and talk to the soul.

Vibrant flowers and fantastic design ideas for long tables....



   Our Chris Lindsay Design team was asked to create a long runner of flowers and other organic elements for a forty foot rectangle table. They wanted something bright and vivid with lots of texture. What do you think ?


Rosette Kalanchoe blossoms
Creations of high and low designs

Cherry Brandy is the name of this stunning rose 

Grouping the flowers creates a cleaner more dramatic visual. Shell spheres, pearlized broken glass and steel balls in different sizes also adds to the visual drama. 
Overview

Layered colored sand and gravel in a narrow elongated glass trough with Cherry Brandy roses paved along the top.

It is all in the details.... Kermit green button poms, Rosette orange kalanchoe blossom are woven together with chartreuse beaded pearl wire and accented with a mini butterfly. One of our inspired designers created this napkin ring.
