Winning Design - ISES "Most Innovative


A few weeks ago Silvia from Rentals To Remember came to us asking for help in designing a tabletop for the ISES competition in Washington, DC. Our Theme was Earth Day and we worked together to pull off an award winning table. Thanks to the paper designer Jill Davolio from the Paper Trousseau for helping with the winning design.


WINNER - 2011 ISES Tabletop Competition "Most Innovative"



Paper - Jill Davolio of http://www.thepapertrousseau.com/

Floral Design can be a challenge when trying to be "green" or "eco friendly". However, we rose to the challenge and created a fabulous centerpiece with detailed accents completely out of living, recycled and repurposed items. Look closely to see how we used packing material and branches weaved into an "earth" inspired sphere resting on top of plate glass towers nestled in a bed of earth. This would be a great look for a charity event or corporate party looking to promote sustainability.

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.
