We heart this sweet take on a Valentine’s Day bouquet designed by Signature Sweets.

Shown here is the 8″ lime slice blumebox accessorized with thick passion pink ribbon lining the sides. The bouquet itself is made up of assorted candy, tissue and ribbon making for a colorful arrangement!

Candy bouquets are a fabulous addition to children’s parties as well as baby showers and can be an easy, cost effective way to add color, food and style to party themes of all kinds.

The inspiration behind this sweet decoration idea came from a cake pop date with my daughter over the weekend.

For those of you unfamiliar with Starbucks new tasty addition, a cake pop is cake on a stick. Believe me, it is much more heavenly in person than words can describe.  And to see the happiness that such a baked good provides my daughter, makes my day!  I planned to take Perrin to Starbucks to dine on one of these “yummy”(as described from my 2 year old) treats, but I came up with this fabulous idea and moved our date to take place at home.

What would happen if rainbow sprinkles met a blumebox?

I took a 4″ white cube blumebox, sprayed one side of the blumebox with spray-on adhesive and rolled it in a pan of rainbow sprinkles. I proceeded to cover the remaining three sides of the blumebox with glue and sprinkles. Next, I filled in any spots that were light or void of sprinkles and then proceeded to give an all over spray of adhesive to keep the sprinkles in place. Insert a styrofoam ball or square piece of floral foam into the blumebox and fill out with cut gerberas so that foam is hidden. And lastly insert the cake pop/s in the foam and you have one super cute and colorful cake pop stand!

Perrin can hardly wait for next weekend!

We removed the cake pop to showcase the fabulous rainbow sprinkled blumebox as a floral centerpiece. Multiply this idea, and create ten of these centerpieces filled with assorted colored gerberas or balloons and line a table for a kids birthday party or baby shower!

For all you parents out there who have kids obsessed with purple bouncing dinosaurs, a Spanish speaking explorer and red furry monsters, who want their birthdays to reflect EVERYTHING Barney, Dora or Elmo . . . We give you this creatively modern solution to making it more “hip”.

The inspiration came from the soon-to-be 2 year old birthday girl who was obsessed with Barney and bouncing, but her mom couldn’t bear the thought of a “Barney” themed party (understandable), so she incorporated the loveable dinosaurs’ favorite colors of purple and green as a backdrop and held the shindig at a local bouncy house.

To get the party started she looked to Callie at Calliespondence to design the invites as well as stickers and goodie bags, all tying in the purple,green and white color palette.

Check out this fabulous low-cost (under $8) way to dress up the tables with balloon bouquets in blumeboxes. They used 6″ white blumeboxes, adorned with green decorative ribbon and adhered the custom printed stickers on top. Add balloons to a stick, place in blumeboxes and fill with colored tissue.

To view more about this party and the paper goods created for it, check out the Calliespondence Blog and be sure to visit the Calliespondence website of customized stationary and invitations.

Wedding Season is upon us and there is no better time to introduce blumebox to your bridal clients than by using the très eco-chic, cardboard flower boxes to transport all your bridal bouquets.

Blumebox provides a blank canvas enabling you to dress up or down to your liking.

Christy from The Orange County Wedding Florist designed the above boxes to suit a chocolate brown and fuchsia wedding palette by using layers of decorative ribbon and paper. We especially love the call out for the Bride and Maid of Honors’ bouquets.

Oh and one more food for thought … How gorgeous would these arrangements be at the cake table or lined along the head table!

This fresh oceanic color palette was sent in from a bride who used 8″aqua marine blumeboxes and red coral printed ribbon at her Hawaiian nuptials.

White hydrangeas filled the “tiffany blue” colored blumeboxes, which sat on pebble tiles and were surrounded by sea urchins, starfish and white orchids.

Blumin Australia sponsored the recent World Wellness Project in Melbourne, Australia by donating organic herbal bouquets (designed in 8″ cream blumeboxes) to each of the speakers.

The eco-friendly makings of a blumebox (made from 80% post consumer materials) allows for great “environmentally friendly” centerpieces and gifts for such earth conscience events.

The cardboard surface of a blumebox makes for easy decorating options too; like adding ribbon and stickers to personalize the arrangement or savvy means to market your business.

Anyone tuned into “Portlandia” on IFC?

Blumebox is, and after watching the “Put a bird on it” episode, we could not resist the temptation to do so!
