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.

This gorgeous photo from professional photographer Sarah K. Chen, depicts the clever and elegant way Christine Saunders from The Spiraled Stem used blumeboxes to transport bouquets for a recent Southern California wedding. Eight-inch Black blumeboxes and six-inch yellow blumeboxes were adorned with different thicknesses of yellow and black ribbon, then whimsical name tags were affixed on the front. Silky black ribbon wrapped the yellow and white Calla Lilies in delicate folds. It was a perfect, fanciful look, and easy enough to try at home!

She’s been dreaming about this day since she can remember, so the little details are really important to her. Don’t deliver a bouquet in a bucket or boring glass container – personalize a blumebox in a corresponding color to show her you care about the details, too!

Many florists and wedding planners use blumeboxes this way, but do-it-yourself brides can utilize a blumebox for a bouquet transport just as easily!

For the black, yellow and white themed wedding above, the simple bouquet of Stephanotis was adorned with tiny pearl beads, and set in a six-inch yellow blumebox. A simple square of stock card was personalized with the brides name. Time to put the transport together? Just a few minutes, but the bride loved it, and it helped keep the flowers fresh all through the evening.

The color we associate with sunshine is just about as cheerful as it gets. Mixing one of the most recognizable heralds of spring – the smile-inducing daffodil – with elegant black and white accents can turn any occasion into a gala event.

This look was created using a tall Cornflower Yellow blumebox, filled tightly with a dozen daffodils. A black, patterned ribbon was affixed at an angle, and topped with a scalloped, monogrammed tag. The entire arrangement took only minutes to assemble, but the overall look was simply elegant.
