We love succulents and lucky for us 4″ size fit and look spectacular in our 4″ cubes.

This is a perfect house warming gift, hostess gift, birthday gift that is sure to make a nice addition in someones home. While we love the way the neutral blumebox hues suit the organic nature of the plants, do not be afraid of some color and by any means there is no such thing as too many succulents!!!!

Re-create this:

· white 4″ cubes from blumebox

· any 4″ succulent of your choice

· moss is optional to cover the top surface of the potted plant

We love the crisp clean look of this idea that comes courtesy of my mother-in-law. You can use real topiary’s or the fake ones are pretty darn good looking these days!

For a slightly different take on this concept, consider pushing the boxes together to form one solid structure and tie off with twine or ribbon, making for a great table centerpiece or entry way bouquet.

Re-Create This:

· 3 x 4″ white bright cube blumeboxes

· 3 x real or fake topiary plants (4″ size)

· moss to cover up open space between potted plant and blumebox

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.

This is a work-appropriate way to celebrate your co-workers birthday with something that will breathe life into their workspace! Shown here is a 4″ jet set black cube fitted with a potted succulent. We added a name tag here that could be changed to call out birthday wishes!

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.
