Christy Griner Hulsey is the Creative Director of Colonial House of Flowers, a family run boutique, founded in 1968 in South Georgia along the United States eastern seaboard in the little town of Statesboro - south of Atlanta, north of Savannah and with a growing international presence. Using plants, flowers and a real story as her medium she specializes in creating intimate, high-end, bespoke, artistic partnerships, weddings, and event florals.
You can say that flowers found Christy. And, not other way around! Self-taught in a matter of desperate circumstance when she found herself assuming the ownership of a dwindling flower shop run by her family. After a successful career utilizing her degree from University of Georgia’s prestigious Grady School, a fifty year old family flower shop came to her out of the blue, and during unknowing to she and her family ---> the shop's moment of decline.
In effort to save it, she relied on the only resources she had mainly, a deep knowing she found inside! Thankful for those days sent to the garden by her Grandmother, the stories of stumps and forestry from her father, and the example of her mother's, a special education teacher's, tenacity to see a job through to the end, somehow Christy did it. The Colonial House of Flowers is alive today!
Christy’s innate sense of story telling, honesty, authenticity, grace, and a bigger vision effortlessly translate into the magical world of flowers. Her signature work drips with soulful details and loose, wild, texture-full abandon. Plus, her keen eye and appreciation of beauty in all stages of the drive to perfection, life and beauty have made her one of the south’s most sought after designers.
Family, friends, clients, and colleagues love Christy for her balanced, natural, humble, whimsical and cheerfully peculiar approach to art and life. Believing good fun, strong women, genuine kindness, tight friendships and tough families are what make the world go around, she's original, loyal, tenacious, quiet at times and artistic.
