“Puttin’ on the Ritz” for your guests just got a whole lot easier with blumeboxes. Being a paper product, blumeboxes are easy to decorate with materials of all kinds.

Creative Cardboard designed this fun, non-perishable bouquet that incorporates a mixture of silk flowers, boas, ribbon, and glittered tags, creating a fabulous way to guide guests to their seats!

Create this look by using 8″ black blumeboxes, passion pink boas, pink zig zag ribbon (or use a Cricut to cut out the zig zag material) silver glittered foam, adhesive numbers, 3 x artificial calla lily flowers and pearl sprays.

What a simply elegant color combination that Kio Kreations created with these bridal bouquets that were delivered in our 8″ silver and white blumeboxes. We love the simple separation of the bride’s bouquet displayed in a silver blumebox, while the bridesmaid’s bouquets were transported in white blumeboxes.

Here is another inspiring idea from the team over at Stems Floral Design Studio.

The bridal party’s bouquets were delivered in black blumeboxes decorated with pictures of the bride and groom.

What a great concept for table centerpieces!

Stems Floral Design Studio uses 8″ blumeboxes to transport their bridal bouquets. We especially love the simple, yet elegant, personalization they add to each eco-friendly blumebox calling out the bridal parties bouquets.

Recreate this idea by lining decorative ribbon up and down two sides of the blumebox. To add some depth layer the ribbon as shown here. Print out the names of the bridal party on paper and adhere to blumebox. Add some dimension by layering different colors and sizes of paper creating borders.

As always, the bridal bouquets that we feature are great inspiration for centerpiece ideas. Cut down these gorgeous bouquets to fit in a 4″ cube blumebox or 6″ pyramid shape blumebox and line them down a head table, buffet table or sign-in table.

Mirror mirror on the blumebox!

Our inspiration for this project came from Karen over at The Art of Doing Stuff, who posted this DIY Planter Project. We new right away that using the 4″ cube blumebox as a base would make the gluing process easier and create a more rigid vase.

To re-create this look for the holiday season, start with a 4″ blumebox (color of your choice) and simply use a glue gun to glue 4 x 4″ cubed beveled mirrors to each side of the blumebox cube. Be sure to center the mirror on the blumebox so that the color creates a border.

Use any assortment of holiday florals to fill the mirrored blumebox vase. This centerpiece looks fabulous as is, but would be spectacular as a cluster down a long table or fireplace mantel.

In the spirit of the holidays, we took our 4″ silver satin blumebox cube to showcase the many festive ways in which you can adorn them, making blumeboxes a quintessential part of your entertaining and gift giving needs.

Featured here, is our 4″ silver satin cube filled with red Tulips, green Hypericum, red Roses, Cymbidium Orchids, Pine branches and a fabulous find at the floral market. . . Dianthus Berbatus. We topped the arrangement off with red glass ball ornaments.

This single arrangement makes for a great holiday hostess gift. Duplicate this arrangement by two, four or more blumeboxes to create a wonderful centerpiece for your table or entry way!

Take it up a notch by adorning the same 4″ silver cube with some colored metallic wire in the color of your choice. We used red and simply wrapped the blumebox in wire, creating a subtle elegant touch of holiday cheer!

What better way to fill out a long table or fireplace mantel than with our  4″ cube blumeboxes clustered together to form one long fabulous arrangement! To hold the boxes together, we simply wrapped them with decorative ribbon!

For anyone who has not heard of color blocking, we highly recommend learning more about it. . .  Seeing as it is a great way to develop design inspiration for your event.

This arrangement showcases the amazing work of Jen Shorten, lead designer at Courtenay Lambert Florals. The bouquet includes, Bell of Ireland, Stock, Lisianthus, Craspedia, and Lily grass. The stems were wrapped with blocks of colored ribbon, which ties in fabulously with the colors of the bouquet and overall modern theme of the wedding.

Ensuring flower freshness, Courtenay Lambert Floral use blumeboxes to transport/display their wedding bouquets. Shown here, Jen personalized an 8″ white blumebox by carrying out the theme with a “Mondrian” inspired color blocking method.

The chocolate brown and white combination, with hints of light pink, in this bridal bouquet collection is so elegant. . . we could not help but post it for all those Fall brides looking for ideas.

We love separating out the bride’s bouquet from her maid’s through different colored blumeboxes. The brides bouquet was displayed in an 8″ white blumebox, while the wedding party’s bouquets were displayed in 8″ mocha blumeboxes.

Mackenzie”s Floral designed these beautiful white hydrangea bouquets and used the 8″ mocha blumeboxes to display/transport for the bridal party.

Our newest color of  blumebox is a stunning deep purple by which we have named, purple rain. We think this image sent in from MacKenzie’s Floral in Bowling Green, KY is simply divine and showcases our newest member of the family magnificently!

Thank you to Lucas Ridley Photography for the image.

This Halloween inspired wedding came to us from Christine at The Spiraled Stem, who created the bride and the bridesmaids bouquets.

The bride’s bouquet was made up of an assortment of black magic and black baccara roses, monkey tails, and mini callas that were spray painted black. Black feathers accented the collar and the bride provided a monogrammed handkerchief and rhinestone cross for the handle.

The bridesmaids’ bouquets were made up of dark purple mini callas with lily grass sprayed black.

All of the bridal bouquets were delivered in blumeboxes that were decorated with Halloween craft paper and called out the names of the bridal party. To catch more details of this spook-tacular wedding, check out The Spiraled Stem Blog.

The talented Jim Kenedy totally captured the style and personality of the bride and groom for their Halloween inspired wedding.
