DIY Buckets for Special Events
If you're on a budget and want a variety of blooms for an event, DIY buckets are the perfect option for you. Our flowers are carefully "farmer harvested," ensuring a beautiful assortment of brightly colored blooms and foliage that complement each other. We condition the flowers for 24 hours before pick-up to maximize their lifespan.
Are DIY Buckets Right for Me?
DIY buckets are a great choice if:
1. You're excited to create a special look for your event.
2. You and your "design team" of friends and family are willing to help create bouquets, centerpieces, cake flowers, etc., before your event.
3. You're interested in saving money and have the time to invest in your special day.
How Would I Use a DIY Bucket?
You can create whatever you like with our flowers. Here are some common design ideas:
- Personal flowers: bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, flower crowns
- Ceremony flowers: aisle flowers, petals for tossing, ceremony urns
- Reception flowers: centerpieces, bud vases, cake flowers, bar flowers
How Many Buckets Should I Order?
Each DIY bucket contains approximately 80 flower stems, including a mix of focal flowers, filler flowers, and foliage. To help you estimate the number of buckets you may need for your event, here are some guidelines:
- Bridal bouquets require about 75 stems each.
- For centerpieces, plan for 10-20 stems per vase (ideal for vases with a 2.5-inch wide opening, such as mason jars).
- Bud vases typically need 3-5 stems each.
Use these guidelines to effectively plan for your floral needs!
How Do I Keep the Flowers Fresh for My Special Day?
To keep your flowers fresh, ensure that all stems are kept in water and store them in a cool, air-conditioned area away from direct sunlight until you're ready to use them. If you're preparing boutonnieres or using loose petals, place them in a bag or plastic container and refrigerate them if they are made the day before.
How Do DIY Buckets Work?
We will assemble a beautiful assortment of flowers and foliage in various colors based on what is in bloom in our fields. Each bucket contains approximately 80 stems for $100, with a minimum order of two buckets. A 50% deposit is required at the time of order, and the remaining balance must be paid in full at time of pick-up.
