We are tardy in posting about some pretty cool news over here at blumebox. My husband Wade, co-founder of blumebox,  became a US citizen and we could not think of a better way to honor his achievement than to throw a red, white and blue party! Don’t fret all you Kiwi’s out there, he did not give up all his oath to the Queen, he has dual citizenship!

Featured for the first time ever, we showcased the workings of our new cake pop insert at this party. We bundled five 4″ white cubes, wrapped in our red and white striped paper ribbon, inserted the new cake pop insert into each cube and filled them with doughnut holes on a stick! This was a fun and inviting way to get guests to come and go noshing on doughnut holes. Only problem, we ran out of doughnuts all too fast! Note to party planner…order extra extra doughnut holes.

Our silver birch cube blumebox is a favorite of ours. And this natural beauty of an arrangement  from Pot & Box validates our love for the birch!

Love Sweet Love is what we have for our new cake pop/lollipop display box. We here at blumebox have a “thing” for sweets and when we got introduced to cake pops…man oh man it was love at first bite. So we saw fit to design a carrier to house these sweet suckers!

The cake pop /lollipop display simply fits into our 4″ blumebox cube and VOILA! You have yourself one tasty looking display! Of course sky is the limit as to what else you can put into these new displays. We are loving brainstorming all the options.

For Valentine’s Day we tested mini cupcakes that we stuck a stick into. They held up well for the shoot, but we could see that the weight of the cupcake could force itself down the stick overtime.

A party is not a party without something to do, and this bubble gum bauble necklace is by far the cutest thing out there! If you have not met One Charming Party, do! They crafted up this adorable how to and have oodles more!

This elegantly rustic wedding takes place at River Birch Lodge in Hartland, MI.  The brightly colored floral arrangements were beautifully done by Pot & Box  in the 4″ silver birch blumebox, which was so fitting for this cozy lodge wedding.

We love the arrangement with the votive candles and mirror creating the most perfect glow of warmth.

Although these arrangements were designed for a wedding they could be perfect for any occasion or celebration.

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.

What an enchanting winter wedding we spotted by the super talented Courtenay Lambert Florals !  Crystals and candlelight keep this winter wedding warm and inviting.  The vibrant bridal bouquets add the perfect pop of color to this simple and chic silver and white color palette.  The bridesmaids bouquets are placed in a 8″ Silver Blumebox embellished with grey velvet ribbon and crystal trim.

This magical winter decor also lends itself well to Holiday or NYE party decor.

Did someone say gumdrops?  I’m there.  Seriously who doesn’t love gumdrops?  Such a fantastically bright and cheery Holiday party from Paper and Pigtails and also featured on Hostess with the Mostess.   We love all of the colorful creative details that were included in this party.  The gumdrop trees, the gumdrop cake, gumdrop necklaces, gumdrop shaped cookies, and of course the gumdrop bouquets in the 6″ white bright blumeboxes.

All of these great details would also work well for a Candyland themed party!

Spruce up your table top this holiday season with live greens!

In our photo at the top we have a lemon Cyprus tree that is not your traditional evergreen but still really festive and we love the pop of chartreuse.  We have placed it in a 4″ bright white blumebox and added a festive touch with candy cane washi tape.  On a side note we are totally obsessed with washi tape.

This is a great idea for centerpieces, mantles, or even great a hostess gift for all of those holiday parties!

What we love most about the holiday season is the endless array of delectable sweets!

We love candy so much that we decided to create peppermint topiaries. We started with Styrofoam cones and painted them red.  And then we affixed the peppermint candy to the cone with a hot glue gun.  We wrapped our  4″ blumebox with ribbon to dress them up, filled them with marbles and put the finished peppermint trees on top.  

This extremely simple and easy whimsical DIY  project, could be less holiday and more suitable for kids birthday parties and candy bars by using different sweets. Sink your teeth into some gumdrops, M&M’s, licorice. . . to name a few!
