Pretty in Purple!

We love all of the elegant touches of purple throughout this wedding.  8″ white blumeboxes were used to transport the beautiful bridal bouquets, as well as being used for the centerpieces. Finishing touches of a purple ribbon and a monogram were added to complete the sophisticated table settings.

We adore these purple satin bridal shoes.  And what a wonderful sparkling send off for the beautiful couple.

We love being surprised by themes and color pallets for events, and this beautiful kraft natural and white baby shower sent in from Floret Cadet did just that!

The floral concept and design is best described by Kate from Floret Cadet.

“This past Saturday I had the fun job of creating flowers for a friend of a friend’s baby shower.  Because they were going to have electric skillets in the center of each table where guests could cook toppings and make their own spring rolls, we opted to do little mini arrangements for each guest in 6″ natural colored blumeboxes vs traditional centerpieces.

I used all white flowers at the mother-to-be’s request, and worked in some turquoise, teal and spring green accents in the form of velvet ribbons.   Because I made 25 of these, I got a chance to use pretty much every white flower out there, and make each one different.  The flowers used were dahlias, carnations, china mums, lisianthus, freesia, dendrobium, stock, ornithogalum arabicum, snowberries, bouvardia, hyacinth, phlox, anemones, and limonium.”

Thank you Kate for sharing this gorgeous baby shower theme that could be suitable for an wedding.

We love love love European hand-tied bouquets, so when True Florette sent us images of how they are using their blumeboxes, we fell in love all over again!

Well get ready to be impressed, because when you brouse through True Florette’s Photo Gallery you will “ooh” and “ahh” at every click!

So if you happen to be lucky enough to live in New York’s Lower Hudson Valley, be sure to call on their floral services. It’s fare to say you will be most impressed.

Don’t be shy….Tell us your story. How you are using your blumeboxes?

We have an unhealthy obsession with Pinterest and have been known to scour the site for endless party and decor ideas that could applied to blumeboxes. Of course along the way we have built boards for our dream house, but that is another post. Upon one of our searches, we came across Chalkboard Table Centerpieces that got us thinking that blumeboxes are the perfect medium to apply chalkboard paint! What an easy DIY and cost effective way to personalize centerpieces.

Just about any craft, paint or hardware store sells chalkboard paint, we happened to get our hands on a quart of Benjamin Moore and it worked great! Determine the size and shape you are desiring, create a stencil and stencil the shape directly on the box. Note: Pen works best to outline the shape!  And don’t fret about seeing the pen lines, as the paint will cover any guides. Then carefully and steadily apply the chalk paint to the outline shape. Two coats will due. Let dry and apply chalk!

Featured here is our 5.5″ white cube that we applied chalk paint to our trellis shape outline, and then proceeded to chalk out table numbers. A variety of succulents filled the blumeboxes, which added depth to the table design. What fabulous way to turn centerpieces into table numbers that would make for terrific gifts for guests at the end of the event.

The ideas are endless with this super easy DIY project especially when you discover that there is colored chalk paint! What an adorable idea for treat boxes at a birthday party, or personalized centerpieces for a baby or bridal shower!

With the change of seasons, comes a change in the colors, and we love seeing the rich hues of red, green, blue, brown and black popping up in our customers floral designs.

For those of you who have not seen any of Stems Floral Design Studio work, be sure to hop on over to their Facebook Page to do so. Or browse our bridal bouquet gallery, as we love featuring their creative blumebox designs.

For starters, we love the incorporation of the feathers within these bridal bouquets. Feathers  are a fab way to add a bit of texture and color to any floral arrangement.

As for the blumeboxes…We have seen monograms, but adding  photographs of the bride and groom is such a creative touch for the bridal bouquet boxes.

Shown here are 8″ white blumeboxes decorated with differing widths of black and red satin ribbon, topped off with the photo!

Wow, wow and wow… Are we loving this turquoise and red color palette from the talented, Stems Floral Studio.

The stunning bridal bouquets consist of red roses wrapped with aspidistra leaves & bear grass tied off with a gorgeous turquoise ribbon secured with decorative pearl pins.

Another beauty from our friends over at Park Florist. This wedding occurred in October but we feel it serves as great inspiration for the Summer season.

The 8″ white blumebox makes for a perfect canvas to accessorize. We are loving the addition of the silk floral petal confetti, something we have not seen been done before! And of course we the personalized touch of adding the bride’s name on the bouquet.

The Flowers: The brides bouquet is comprised of kathleen rose and stephanotis, hydrangea, crystal blush calla lilies giving off a very classic and sweet look.

The passion pink blumeboxes provide an accent of color to the already stunning bridal bouquets. We adore the layered look of the ribbon that the Park Florist designers use to customize blumeboxes for their clients.

The Flowers: For the brides maids… some lime green was to added to the various hues of pink, providing intrigue and radiance.

Park Florist uses blumeboxes to transport their lavish bridal bouquets and does an exquisite job of customizing them for each bride and bridesmaid.

Featured above is the bride’s bouquet housed inside an 8″ white blumebox that was decorated with aqua marine ribbon, sequence silk leaf and a name card that provided that personalized touch!

And for the bridesmaids bouquets, Park Florist reversed out the colors by using 6″ aqua marine blumeboxes decorated with a sequence silk leaf and name card.
