Hurricane Globe 20 Ways


When given the task of designing flowers for the Perfect Wedding Guild luncheon at the Historic Gov. Calvert House in Annapolis we decided to have some fun.  This venue offers brides the use of their hurricane globes and we have always found this to be a challenge to work into our designs.  So on the 28th of April, 2010 on a beautiful spring day we designed 20 hurricane globes in 20 different ways. 

Check back soon for prices.

Dressing the Menu Card


Menu cards are an important element to a well dressed table. If your salads are being pre-set having a menu card on each setting may not work. Instead ask your floral or paper designer to create custom menu card holders to showcase these cards as a finishing touch to your reception.

This custom menu card holder was created using fern shoots and moss for the What's Up Annapolis show.

Enchanted Haven Horse Rescue

Many of us think about animal shelters and soup kitchens when making donations.  However, horses need our help too.  I am asking that our clients and associates help Intrigue in supporting Enchanted Haven Horse rescue out of Caroline county.  This wonderful farm offers shelter, food and love for horses in need.

Visit their website www.enchantedhaven-horserescue.org to see a list of items they currently need including a link to PayPal that makes donating easy.

Thank you -

Chase Court Bride


Today my June 6th Chase Court bride is on my mind.  While thinking about this bride I recalled how much I enjoyed working with Crystal at Chase Court in 2009.  I hope you all enjoy this glimpse back to last year's image collection.
