What and adorable “Preppy Turtle” themed birthday party that Kori from Kori Clark Designs created for her daughters 3rd birthday.

The inspiration behind the party came from a fascination with turtles and Lilly Pullitzer Partyware. Lime green, light pink, bright pink and white bring together this oh so preppy celebration perfectly.

Pinwheels set the stage for fun on the kids table! She made arrangements using the big Lilly Pulitzer Tort pinwheels and custom made amazing white pinwheels from Twirlie Whirlies that were set into the our “kid AND eco-friendly” 6″ white blumeboxes!

Couture Parties blog has some of the most inspiring posts and this Retro Pink Bicycle Birthday Party is no acception.

The silver, green and pale pink palette makes for such a fun and elegant celebration for this dessert birthday party.  The mixture of floral arrangements and candy bouquets to the desserts themselves, makes this dessert table absolutely adorable!

Stephanie used 4″ pretty n pink blumebox cubes decorated with sage green ribbon that was tied off with a silver tassel. These decorations were stuffed with plastic grass, topping off the centers with a giant colorful swirl lollipop.

The silver cube floral arrangements were designed in 6″silver cube ceramic vases. To recreate this floral design you could use our 4″ silver satin cube blumebox.

Keep in mind that this party could easily be transformed into a baby boy or baby neutral baby shower by using blues or yellows or greens.

If you have not heard of Abby’s Closet, it is time you get to know more about this great non-profit, who happens to be based in our backyard, Portland Or.

The idea started with a pink prom dress. When Abby Egland was cleaning out her closet before starting college, she wondered how she could best pass along the pretty pink dress that she had worn to her Prom. Her mom, Sally, had a great idea: why not start a volunteer group that collects formal dresses, and then give them away each spring to high school women who needed them for their prom? This was the start of Abby’s Closet in 2004.

For this years  “May Day Tea” and silent auction, Abby’s Closet used 6″ black blumeboxes as the centerpieces which doubled as table numbers. We love how they incorporated the pink and black color theme into the centerpiece with decorative paper and ribbon.

We found this fantastic party over at Hostess with Mostess, that was created by the talented Lindsey of Bella Grace Designs, for the adorable birthday boy, Finn.

The inspiration behind the theme came from a line of retro themed story books. The party was carried out perfectly with a collection of nostalgic details like jacks (used for napkin rings!), old-fashioned stick candy, sock monkeys, wooden blocks, and other vintage-style toys.

We of course were pleasantly surprised to see our 6″ red burst blumebox featured in this incredible celebration filled with candy and toys and decorated with the adorable “Play” sticker.

Be sure to catch all the details from this party over at Hostess with the Mostess and Bella Grace Designs.

Amy with StemParties, shows us how chocolate brown, passion pink and orange make a great combo for a baby girl mod baby shower.

The inspiration behind the theme started with the polka-dot wrapping paper. From there Amy incorporated various decorative items that began to fill out the Mod theme quite nicely!

We love the the easy add-on accessory she used on the 8″ mocha blumeboxes that were filled with a low cut bunch of orange roses! Add some varying sized pink and orange lanterns and cut out polka dot coasters and you have one mod baby beautiful table!

The blumebox color palette makes it easy to cater centerpieces to party themes of all kinds!

Owl themed parties seem to be popping up all over the place and we wanted to put together an inspiration board of blumeboxes mixed into the picture!

To get the party started, we started with owl ribbon from Michale’s Craft and proceeded to design the centerpiece.  We used a 6″ orange crush blumebox and filled it with an easy DIY white carnation ball bouquet. From there we brought in more colors to the theme such as baby blue, chocolate brown and mossy green and searched the internet for other items that would bring the owl celebration together.

Showering the births of baby girls and boys really does not get any easier with the variety of colors we offer in the blumeboxes.

The inspiration behind this celebration came from a product we have fallen in love with and think is brilliant. The lollipop onesies come in 3 different colors and are just that…a striped (red, pink or blue) baby onsie wrapped up and packaged like a lollipop!

We love that the centerpiece is useful and becomes a gift for the mom to be! So whether you are throwing a pink, blue or neutral themed baby shower, the lollipop onsies are just what the baby ordered.

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.

pink blumebox with carnation arrangement adorned with argyle ribbon

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.
