We love this party that was sent in from a blumebox customer.

The birthday girl, Tara loves sweets, so an ice cream / candy party was the perfect choice for her 5th birthday celebration.  They chose to host the event at Farrell’s Ice Cream Parlor which recently opened at The Mission Viejo Shops, in Orange County, California.

Sheri Valainis Events, helped to completely transform the space into a magical, sweet candy palace. They alternated between ice cream sundae centerpieces and glass jars filled with sundae toppings. To tie the look together, they created whimsical marabou ice cream cone centerpieces with hot pink and lime green blumeboxes set on each end.

To add to the ambiance, they created a candy table straight out of Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory. The kids loved it. They kept the children busy with ice cream and candy related crafts and ice cream themed games. A great time was had by all.

Thank you Tara for sharing your magical 5th birthday party with us all!

Back by popular demand, aqua marine is now available in all three sizes of blumeboxes. This gorgeous hue is the haute color of the season!

Lawren of Manzanita Event Flowers & Decor sent on this crisp creation from a Spring wedding she did and we wanted to share it!

She used the 6″ aqau marine blumeboxes paired up with our white belly bands that made it easier than ever to personalize each bridal bouquet for each gal.

Party planning should be fun and for the most part easy! One tip to keep on track is to tie in a theme from the beginning. Start with the invitations and the rest should be easy sailing.

Amy sent in this great DIY baby shower she hosted for her sister -in-law and we wanted to share it with everyone! See how the invite announces the general look /theme she is trying to achieve.

The colors are so vibrant and gender neutral making it a great theme for baby boy, baby girl or baby unknown. We love how she incorporated the hearts from the invite onto the blumeboxes with passion pink heart confetti.

Re-create this:

· 6″ lime slice blumebox

· turquoise fabric ibbon cut to fit all side panels of blueboxe

· pink heart confetti

· assorted flowers or your choice

Stephanie at Couture Parties sent us this creative centerpiece idea she designed for her god-daughters Christening/Baptising.

She dressed up our 4″ cube with a bit in navy blue duponi silk, pink ribbon and metal plaques that had different inspirational sayings on them. A paper pinwheel was added to each bouquet.

Be sure to check out all the details that went into this beautiful event Couture Parties blog.

Form and function have been combined to design this brilliant baby shower centerpiece. Hand-made burp cloths were rolled-up around long dowels that were used to insert directly into the floral bouquet.
At the end of the shower the mom-to-be can take home the bouquet and enjoy the custom made towels for her newborn.

Cut out the step of making your own burp cloths and incorporate some great items from Baby Star! This boy baby shower centerpiece was created using an 8in tall eucalyptus blue blumebox.

Michelle at Lemiga Events created this adorable pink & green argyle festooned centerpiece for her little girl’s first birthday. Filling the blumebox with a puffy bouquet of pink and green carnations was not only super cost effective but added a touch of whimsy to the table. We think this design would work well for all sorts of events – from bridal showers to summer rehearsal dinners. How cute would they be at a country club dinner party?!? If you have not already, we encourage you to see all of Lemiga Events innovative ideas by visiting their blog. Recreate this today using a 6in pink blumebox flower vase.

We love this idea that was created by the talented Michelle at Floribunda Designs, who started with a 6″ red burst blumebox, adorned with stamped paper decor and filled with a fresh strawberry plant.

This would make for a great centerpiece for a summer party as well as a healthy goodie bag for kids to take home, plant, and watch grow.

We adore this organic looking table decor that Florali out of Walnut Creek, CA created for a “eco-savvy” wedding.  They started with our 6″ blumeboxes in kraft natural,  added their own cardboard ribbon and filled each blumebox vase with a gorgeous selection of neutral colored cut flowers making for one fresh looking table.  What a great idea for a wedding shower, rehearsal dinner or outdoor wedding reception!
