The perfect alternative to the glass vase that is fresh, colorful and 100% recyclable! They come in 3 sizes ~ a 4" cube, a 6" and an 8" blumebox and each can be customized to the feel of your day with patterned papers, ribbons and decals. Line them up, cluster different heights and sizes and just have fun with the arrangement of boxes while designing the arrangement of florals. They're great for your reception, a gift opening brunch, wedding shower or any special occassion that needs a little dressing up.

We're feeling pink today but all the boxes come in an endless number of colors. Check out blumebox for their full array of masterpieces for making your day unique.

Sass it up with a boa ...

Or use the blumebuds for placecard holders. A simple splash of color at each plate can completely transform a room.

Thanks blumebox for making our earth greener one floral creation at a time!

eco-bridal bouquets

We've seen the odd flower-less bouquet around made with such innovation ~ it has inspired us! While our hands are most skilled at the one's with flowers, we wanted to share a collection of some of our favorite non-flower bouquets. Not only are they beautiful, but they last a lifetime and are simple to preserve.

buttons, beads + feathers ~ Inspired and created by Offbeat Bride this button, bead, feather, crystal and paper stunner kept us coming back to peak at it again and again. We would love to see a picture of the bride that has used this for her big day. If you're looking for a DIY project for your bouquet, Offbeat Bride has been generous enough to share it, so check it out.

wood ~ Balsa wood bridal Bouquet found on Wedding Paper Divas. Check your local florist for recommendations of a specialist in your area.

Well, the decision has been made for their table scapes. Custom olive green cotton table linen being made as we speak with custom burlap runners topped with 5 mason jars. Each filled with blush peonies, pink and purple dahlias and green brezilla berries. The gorgeous tables will be complemented with fruitwood folding chairs. We can't wait to see the final product but for now, here's a sneakpeek at the pieces.

Check out their inspiration board. Thanks again Nichole and Ravi for allowing us to share each stage of your plans!
