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.

Grab your umbrellas, it is shower time!

As the saying goes, April Showers bring May Flowers...The air is warming up, flowers are blooming, and the sun is finally making its appearance. ChristieCreations is gearing up for the upcoming baby shower and bridal shower season.

Did you know that more newborns arrive during the late summer and early fall months of July, August, and September than during any other time of the year?

Paul Sutton, a demographer for the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics, says it makes sense if you think about what happens nine months earlier in most of the country — the weather gets colder and people spend more time indoors with their sweeties. Also, some people plan their baby's birth to coincide with summer vacations, especially teachers and other people who get summers off.

According to TheAmericanWedding.com, the most popular months for a wedding are, in order, June, September, August, May, October and July.

So with the baby and bridal shower seasons quickly approaching, let's discuss those special options for making YOUR gift stand out from the rest.

Most individuals who receive a Baby Clothing Blooming Bouquet or Kitchen Towel Blooming Bouquet have never seen anything like it!

The majority of the Baby Blooming Bouquets are purchased to serve double duty as a baby shower centerpiece and gift!

Recently the smaller Baby Bib Blooming Bud Bouquet was purchased to be held by a large stuffed animal bear for a Teddy Bear themed baby shower.

Kitchen Towel Blooming Bouquets are ideal for double duty as well. Why not purchase multiple Kitchen Towel or Wash cloth/Spa Blooming Bouquets to be used as centerpieces on the bridal shower tables.

As you play Baby Bingo or other shower game, the winners can select a Blooming Bouquet centerpiece as their prize.

This is a unique twist to the now common "gift basket" centerpiece option. The blooming bouquets are far more beautiful, unique, and affordable. Prices start at just $ 14.95. Who can make a gift basket for $ 14.95?

As always our Blooming Bouquets, can be sent directly to the gift recipient and wrapped in clear cellophane with a bow (at your request and a nominal fee). All orders receive a complimentary custom 4x6 glossy photo gift card with your personal greeting inside and a list of items in the bouquets written in elegant calligraphy. (see previous post for more information)

ChristieCreations LOVES custom orders. We can use items directly off a mother to be or bride to be's gift registry or her style, theme, and color selection can be matched.

A custom order was received for a Baby Clothing Blooming Bouquet for a dolphin themed baby shower. ChristieCreations matched the items to the invitation while adding two dolphin accents to the outside of the bouquet. The client was thrilled.

Let ChristieCreations do all the hard work making the perfect, pretty, yet practical shower gift. We do the work... you get all the oohs and ahhs.
