Have you guys seen these great not-quite-vases, not-quite-boxes that are getting nods from some of the best people and publications out there? One of OUR readers, Whitney, is the co-owner and creator (along with her fiance) of these little gems called Blumeboxes. They come in a couple of different sizes, a great variety of super chic colors and complete with ribbon trims, boas and belly bands so that you can really customize your look. I love that they are an affordable but still stylish way to bring a little color to your table settings. PLUS...they are perfect for a green inspired wedding, as they are 100% recyclable. It's pure genius.
So what exactly is it, you ask? Whitney describes it far better than I would...
"A blumebox is an opportunity to add color and style to any floral bouquet...it is more than a vase or delivery box. It’s a gift box for flowers. Packaged flat to reduce storage space, a blumebox pops into shape in just seconds. Simply slip the durable water tight bag inside the blumebox, fill up with water and away you go! For those wanting to add some creative touches we encourage you to visit our photo gallery for some fun suggestions. When customizing your blumebox the sky is the limit. Ribbon, decals and tissue paper are just a few items that make for great decorating ideas!"
Personally, I really like the monochromatic look...10-20 blumeboxes all lined up down a long, distinctive table. Genius.
