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!

We love this birthday party theme that was sent over from Erin at E.L.A. Design who specializes in candy buffets!

To get the party started, she began with an assortment of  colored 8″ blumeboxes and ribbons and began to personalize the festivity by incorporating images of the guest of honor.

To fill the blumeboxes, Erin relied on these gorgeous pinwheels to accompany the suckers. An easy way to fill out the opening is to add confetti tissue that fills in the empty space colorfully!

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

Crisp linens, colorful china and Eucalyptus blue blumeboxes with lovely white arrangements made this rehearsal dinner a gorgeous beginning for this wedding’s events.

The mother of the groom started with the 6” aqua marine blumebox and accented the corners with mocha brown picot edge ribbon. Simple, and simply elegant!

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.

Kids of all ages have dreamed of running off to join the circus at some stage of their life. So we loved what Couture Parties created to bring a little ones’ dream alive with this Circus theme birthday party.

What a great theme for a baby shower!

This gorgeous 30th birthday bash is another masterpiece from Lemiga Events.
To get a similar look, start with a 6″ white blumebox (or another color that works with your theme) and adorn with different sized ribbon creating a layered look. On top of the ribbon an initial was designed by using adhesive jewels. Sticking with the desired colors, Birch Blooms combined different stems such as tinted hydrangea and gerbera daisies that were mixed in with silk butterflies that appeared to be at rest on the flowers.
Not only do we love the design, but this color combo could be a gorgeous palette for a wedding.
