DIY FLOWER BUCKET FAQs

Enjoy creating with our beautiful farm-fresh flowers! Whether for a wedding, special occasion, or something fun to do with friends, our DIY Flower Buckets bring the best of our flowers to you. At approximately 70 stems per bucket, purchasing in bulk offers value AND the chance to experience the joy of arranging. Read on below to discover all the details.

WHAT IS THE COST AND WHAT WILL I RECEIVE?

  • What: 60-80 stems (dependent on bloom size) and a 2-gallon flower bucket. You do not need to return the bucket.

  • Cost: $100 per Farmer’s Choice or $125 per Specific Palette Bucket.

  • For reference, one bucket fills 3-5 quart-sized Mason Jar arrangements depending on fullness.

WILL A DIY FLOWER BUCKET SUIT MY NEEDS?

  • If you’re flexible on flower variety and have a little time to design, then yes! DIY Flower Buckets are harvested at the farmer’s discretion dependent upon what flowers are in peak bloom and seasonality.

  • For Farmer’s Choice buckets, we do our best to accommodate small requests (e.g. “Please, no red”, or, “I’m using zinnias from my garden so would prefer any other flowers you have available”). You’re able to indicate these preferences both when ordering from our online shop and when submitting a DIY Flower Bucket Order Request Form.

  • Palette-Specific Buckets must have a minimum of 2 colors indicated when ordering, (e.g. white and green).

  • Buckets will have a mixture of focal blooms, supporting blooms and foliage. The percentage of each of these elements will vary depending on the season.
