Intrigue was honored to be the only designer from the state of Maryland selected to design a space in the Floral Showcase.  The creativity and flair that our lead designer brings to the table is impeccable.

Melissa Huston (our lead designer) is an award winning floral designer and we are proud to have her talent onboard to help our brides create breathtaking weddings.  She is clearly Annapolis ' best floral designer / florist.

Annapolis Marriott Wedding

On this chilly winter day I find myself day dreaming about this wonderful spring wedding at the Annapolis Marriott Waterfront.  This event was photographed by one of our favorites Wendy Hickok Photography

Allison and David at CBF

Evan Bishop captured these vibrant colors with style.  This was a fun wedding with a definate party feel. CBF is the only venue I know of in Annapolis that you can enjoy the beach like this couple did. This is the ideal beach wedding destination for the Annapolis area.    Check out more of Evan's work at http://www.evanbishopphotopgraphy.com/

This design is too fabulous for words... I love the Avent Garde design of grasses, wire and Phaleonopsis Orchids.

Award Winning Flowers in Annapolis

 

Intrigue is now an "Award Winning Floral Design Firm"

On March 21, 2010 Melissa took home 3rd place at the Potomac Valley Flower Competition.  The competion asked that she create a centerpiece for a "Classy Mothers Day Brunch".  As you can see Melissa created her centerpiece using a basic hat embelished with stylish callas, classic roses and whimsical pussy willow.

Thank you to David Hartcorn Photography for capturing these great shots.

Seasonal Centerpieces

On Sunday we took part of two great events in Washington, DC. In conjunction with DC Rentals we designed and styled a table for each season at the L'enfant Plaza Hotel Open House. This was also the pit stop for the Amazing Bridal Hunt produced by Exquisite Gems Events where Melissa was on hand to help brides build a bouquet. This was a lot of fun. Check out our tablescapes complete with centerpieces below.

Suspended Centerpiece Preview

We had a great time this weekend at the Baltimore Bridal Showcase. Personally, I loved that our Suspended centerpiece was the talk of the show. We will have more professional photos later this week, but, because the numerous requests for photos I am posting this cell phone pic as a teaser.

Thank you to Allison Barnhill Designs, Always In Stitches, Rentals To Remember and Historic Events for contributing to this incredible booth.

Diva

As the snow begins to fall I am catching up on my blog reading. Do you know about Diva in Annapolis. This is a great place to pick up something fabulous for the rehearsal dinner or even go in for a complete wardrobe consultation. When planning a wedding there are lots of wonderful parties to attend and having just the right style for each party will make you feel fabulous!

Visit Diva on-line www.modadiva.com or better yet check out their flirty little store in downtown Annapolis.

Chair Treatments

Floral accents on your chair adds a bit of fun and elegance to your event. Designs such as the ones in the photos above (courtesy of the World Wide Web) can be very pricey. However, we offer subtle treatments that can be a lot more budget friendly.

Jessica and Matt in Annapolis

Last week we had the privilege of doing the flowers for the daughter of

Christi Rogers (owner of Travel Bug). Christi and Jessica did a great job selecting premium vendors leaving us with a dream team of A list wedding pros on the wedding day.

Thank you to Jessica and Matt (and Christi) for allowing me to be part of your day.

Accent Decor continues to inspire me. Check out this unique glass vase with a modern arrangement of yellow flowers. This would make a great accent piece for cocktail tables or lounge spaces. LOVE IT!!!!

Exquisite Gems at The Cloisters Castle

This weekend Robyn of Exquisite Gems Events www.exquisitegemsevents.com
asked us to create two mock-up centerpieces for her client at the Cloisters Castle. The flowers had a great springy feel and really came to life when Robyn and her team added a few of their finishing touches. Robyn was kind enough to share her photos with us. ENJOY!

This next image does not reflect flowers, but, I wanted to share the buety of the Cloister's front entry with all of our blog readers. This is a great venue with lots of fun photo opps!www.cloisterscastle.com

Tempting Tent Treatments

When planning an outdoor affair the standard White tent seems to be a must have. For the bride that wants to add a little life to the drab tent interior there are a number of fabulous fabric options. Take a look at these great examples of simple fabric that gives the awkward tent poles couture appeal.

Tulip Time

This is the time of year for all those brides crushing on Tulips to include this simple flower in their wedding day bouquets and decor.
