Jewelry Bridal Wedding Bouquets... All the rage....


This one is Chris Lindsay Designs favorite...We are partial to the scent that fresh flowers can give. This costume jewelry bridal bouquet has Velvet , mulberry , olive and moss green colors with assorted brooches, beading and gem encrusted pins. A design using matching colored costume jewelry. The bouquet collar has solid stems of butter cream fresh cut narcissus blooms. Dusty miller foliage in silver sage green is the element to finish this amazing collar. This is a wonderful keepsake, bridal Bouquet.

Begonias and flowers. A carpet of living wonder in Brussels.


 Every other year Brussels does a carpet of flowers. Chris Lindsay Designs team were hoping to play hookie and attend this wonder for the senses. It was not meant to be for 2014 so maybe 2016 will be the year. Here is a tribute to that amazing Architect & Designer, and all those incredibly hard working individuals who in the years past brought these amazing creations to life.



The designs change bi annually to a different theme. Like fashion design they are inspired from textiles, nature and all those imaginative creations we fall in love with year after year.

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.

Palm husk, String of Pearls, Air plants, Crespedia  & deconstructed Echeveria

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.

Vintage wedding themes are all the rage at the moment.


Here are some vintage inspired Chris Lindsay Designs table floral.

 Chris Lindsay designs have a wide variety of  amazing foliages, roses, berries and other wild flowers to create wonderful old vintage garden theme designs.  

Melaluca bark was wrapped around the glass vases with a band of burlap ribbon.


Tall glass bud vases filled with sand and topped with a votive candle are the perfect size for the stand up cocktail tables.
Green roses are all the rage at the moment. They look really wonderful with the ferns, berries and other vintage garden flowers.

Deconstructed sunflowers have a perfect deep chocolate center and because the yellow petals have been removed, the wonderful frilly green center acts as the missing petals.
