Don’t forget to invite blumebox to the picnic or party! Blumeboxes make great containers to house cutlery for outdoor parties and buffets. Select from the 4″ or 6″ size blumeboxes, decorate according to your theme and fill with plastic, metal or wood cutlery and place at the end of a buffet table.
Show here is a 6″ blumebox wrapped in tissue paper and decorative ribbon.

For another take on this idea be sure to check out the post under 4th of July celebrations!

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.

What does Mom love more than fresh flowers? Homemade presents from the kids! Combine her two wishes by giving her flowers in a blumebox decorated by her favorite little artist.

My Monet kids kits are six inch blumeboxes without the usual aqueous varnish. They come with a box of crayons, but that is just the beginning of the ways they can be decorated! Here, our friend Stella, age 8, used glitter, fingerpaints, and gold and silver markers to express her love for Mom. Stickers, ribbons, and other fun arts and crafts materials could provide hours of artistic fun for the kids – on rainy days, in the classroom, or for a special Mother’s Day gift.

The color we associate with sunshine is just about as cheerful as it gets. Mixing one of the most recognizable heralds of spring – the smile-inducing daffodil – with elegant black and white accents can turn any occasion into a gala event.

This look was created using a tall Cornflower Yellow blumebox, filled tightly with a dozen daffodils. A black, patterned ribbon was affixed at an angle, and topped with a scalloped, monogrammed tag. The entire arrangement took only minutes to assemble, but the overall look was simply elegant.

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.
