Down by the River Florals
Bespoke Floral Design & Styling
Falmouth,Cornwall
My story
Down by the river florals is run by me, Lisa Marie Grigsby, a floral artist based in Falmouth, Cornwall.
With a background in lifestyle photography and styling for Cornish artists and brands, my love of flowers kept growing leading me to train at the renowned Tallulah Rose Flower School in Bath and onto start hosting my first seasonal workshops. My interwoven skills provide a unique creative flair with intentional use of foliage and textures reminiscent of a childhood spent in the English countryside and an affinity with the Cornish coastline.
I use seasonal and local blooms wherever possible as well as providing a focus on being foam and plastic free. To me, sustainable practice really matters and coupled with an organic and natural approach to styling, I aim for my designs to encompass a mindful and honest ethos.
