Couture Parties came up with this fantastic twist to the standard Elmo theme.

Stephanie Frazier Grimm states, “My daughter Ellie is your typical 2 year old when it comes to Elmo.  She loves that furry red monster. So for her 2nd birthday party I wanted to jazz Elmo up a little bit.  When my Mom came over with a pink and orange tutu, my creative light bulb went off! An Elmo tutu party was born.

Check out the many more details of this fun party on her blog.

Girls of all ages would love to get fresh cut flowers from your garden for their birthday! We love how simple it is to accentuate the floral bouquet with easy touches like a simple ribbon.

This simple yet elegant white vase could make for the perfect bridal bouquet delivery vase. Simply wrap with ribbon to match the wedding theme and you have the perfect vase for ensuring those bridal bouquets look there best for the big day.  These vases could be used to stage the bouquets at the church and again at the reception on the buffet table or as wedding table centerpieces.

This easy yet elegant flower vase was used as a table decoration on the guest book table at a wedding.  As a last minute idea by the florist to use a left over centerpiece flower vase, the result is stunning.  You too could easily re-create this floral arrangement in minutes.
Pictured is a tall passion pink blumebox flower vase adorned with thin decorative ribbon (2 pieces per side) attached with glue to the top and bottom of the blumebox.
Chocolate brown paper was cut with scalloped sheers to accentuate the monogram piece and then simply layered with pink paper followed by rub-on letter decals of the letter/s of choice.

Michelle at Floribunda Designs is the mastermind behind this watercolor inspired pink, black and white wedding centerpiece.
She started with a 6″ pretty-n-pink blumebox and added subtle touches of elegance by stamping the couple’s initials onto heavy paper then cutting narrow strips of more paper in a corresponding color to create a ribbon. She added a white boa to the neck of the blumebox, adding a delicate touch of gossamer to the arrangement.

This is such an elegant wedding centerpiece, yet was created very simply using her scrap-booking skills.

The reversible blumebud place card holder is a great way to incorporate a splash of pattern and color to your party’s theme.
Shown here, Jennifer over at Hostess With The Mostess tucked a single feather in with each flower to help create a modern Parisian theme for her girlfriend’s bridal shower.

The lines of a blumebox accessorize nicely with wedding bouquets, whether they are sleek and modern, or whimsically romantic.
This fancy feathered bouquet created by Out of Hand fits perfectly into our 6″ white blumebox. With a sprinkling of their creative genius ( a personalized name card from any paper store), they have given each bridesmaid her very own personalized container. Even better is the flowers can remain in water right up until the point where they need to walk down the aisle, ensuring they look absolutely fabulous for the wedding.
These blumebox bouquet holders, a.k.a. flower vases, also looked beautiful after the ceremony as accents on the cake tables.

When Ryan and Trista Sutter, of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette fame, threw a party to celebrate their son’s first birthday, blumeboxes were part of the celebration!

Mom Logic hosted the birthday festivities and the talented Jenn Sbranti from Hostess with the Mostess helped with the creative planning of it all.
Candy-colored blumeboxes were decorated with stickers and our patterned ribbons, then filled with assorted candy suckers that made for a very delicious bouquet.
And to top of the colorful “candy land” theme, Jenn wrapped the napkins with our patterned ribbons adding to the very festive soiree!

This color combo that Heather at Outstanding Occasions put together is a fave of ours! We love the contrast that’s so crisp, clean, and STUNNING! The pale blue and red party theme was incorporated into every detail, from the blumebox centerpieces, to the favors,  even the Strawberry-Lime, and Berry Lemonade Jones sodas were a perfect match.
