Wedding Season is upon us!


It is time to spoil those Brides to be! Did you know that ChristieCreations can purchase items off a bride's registry to be made into a Bath Towel Blooming Bouquet or Kitchen Towel Blooming Bouquet?

Bath Towel Blooming Bouquets were inspired by one of our loyal customers who wanted a unique way to present the towels she had purchased off the bride to be's wedding registry. Much like the Baby Blooming Bouquets, the towels are hand rolled to beautiful flowers to create a one of a kind bridal shower gift. Brides go NUTS over these creative twist to the traditional gift basket.

Especially with the recent green movement to have a "Display shower" where the gifts are asked to be brought unwrapped to save the environment and to cut out all that downtime of unwrapping at the bridal shower.

Bath Towel Blooming Bouquets are exclusively custom made to match the gift receipient's bathroom color theme. The towels can be purchased off the bridal registry or similar high quality department store towels will be bought to complete your blooming bouquet.

The typical Bath Towel Blooming Bouquet is comprised of 3 full size bath towels, 3 hand towels, and 5-8 washcloths to fill out the bouquet. The baskets are typically a large rectangular willow basket with a cotton liner to protect the towels from snags.

A shower curtain and or liner can also be added! Bath Towel Blooming Bouquets with the 14 items described above start at $ 70.00 but can me made smaller or larger to fit any budget.

Another practical option for a bridal shower gift is the Kitchen Towel Blooming Bouquet. It is made from kitchen aprons, kitchen towels, dishcloths, pot holders, oven mitts, placemats and more. Again, these items can be purchased off a bridal registry or similar items can be purchased to match the kitchen color scheme or theme.

Surprise the bride with a one of kind gift! Custom orders take a minimum of 72 hours to complete.
