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.

You're right, I did enjoy this post! DAMN! You are clever!!! And you did it all in white, as if you didn't have enough to worry about, incorporating the hurricanes.

My designer is the clever one. I came up with the concept and she made these happen. The Annapolitan and the Peony are my favorites.
