Clever Containers - The Blumebox Wedding

When Wade Flanagan and his wife Whitney, the owners of Blumebox, got married in Palm Desert, California last year they used their clever recycled and reusable Blumebox containers throughout the event: "We transported and stored the bridal bouquets in our taller blumeboxes - each one personalized for the bride and bridesmaids." This allowed the flowers to "double as table arrangements at the reception" and guests were encouraged to take them home, which meant the "florist didn't have to come back to the reception venue the next day to collect the vases." At the end of the evening "their were a few centerpieces left over and the staff were basically drawing straws for them, since they could be taken away and the vases didn't have to be returned." [Blumeboxes can be recycled]

Wade and Whitney used blumebuds as place card holders, which doubled as favors that guests were able to take home. What an elegant, clever and sustainable design!
