Welcome to All Things Beautiful! I hope this blog inspires your most memorable events and life. Since 2002 I have obsessed over all the details and planning for weddings, parties, grand openings, showers and more. My love of anything to do with paper and flowers, coupled with a degree in marketing, lends great support in creating the weddings and events that suit each clients unique personality and needs. After I realized I wasn't going to be a large animal vet {due to a true and lasting love of horses} I knew to pursue my other passion...all things beautiful, as they pertain to weddings and events. Being a wife and mother, multi-tasking is second nature and much needed in executing the endless details of wedding and events. As a kid I clearly remember cutting images out of magazines of things I thought were beautiful...interesting furniture, incredible architecture, floral arrangements of all sorts, custom stationary, art, home decor and the list goes on and on. No wonder why I love designing and coordinating weddings! Thank you again for your time. I hope my team and I can help you with your next event.

Think Inside the Box?

Blumebox wants to change the way you think about vases.

What does clear glass say about your personal style? Probably not very much. And, unless every room in your house is the same color, and every party you throw has the same theme, you might want to diversify the way you display flowers and the way you set your table.

During a cleaning rampage, blumebox founders Wade and Whitney Flanagan opened up a cupboard to find enough nondescript glass vases to fill a florist shop. After a dozen trips to the recycling bin to get rid of the dust collectors, they were determined to develop a smart alternative.

The Flanagans (Whitney, a marketing executive, and Wade, an engineer) asked themselves what were the most important aspects when it came to vase design. They determined that a vase should be a beautiful complement to the flowers without competing with them, should reflect the personal style of the person using it, should be environmentally friendly, and low-cost. With this in mind, they set forth to design an innovative container that can be personalized for any event, and easily transported, even when full of flowers. After numerous prototypes and a lot of refining, blumebox was born!

When it comes to design, function and cost, blumebox kicks glass! Its smart design includes streamlined packaging, allowing the blumebox to be shipped and stored flat. It is literally a snap to put together, and just as easy to fold back down to be stored between uses.

The wide array of colors makes it easy to match a blumebox to the color scheme of a flower arrangement or the theme of an entire event.
