DIY Flowers for Weddings & Events
DIY Flowers for Weddings & Events
**PLEASE CHECK AVAILABILITY for your date by emailing us before ordering.
For those wanting to design and be creative, or for the budget-conscious couple, buckets of blooms freshly harvested from our Charlottesville flower farm are just perfect. Reserve the quantity you need and we’ll freshly pick your blooms for pick-up 1-2 days prior to your event.
Available mid-April thru the second week of October. Each 2 gallon bucket contains approx. 75-85 stems of flowers and foliage to make approx. 4-6 mason jar style arrangements (32 oz size) OR up to 3 bridesmaid bouquets. The number of buckets you need will definitely depend on the size and complexity of your design. We recommend enlisting the help of at least 3 people for a few days leading up to and the day of your event. All design work is subjective.
FOR REFERENCE:
We harvest the freshest blooms available in the field a day or two before your pickup, therefore we are unable to accommodate specific color requests. However, for an additional fee, you may ask for “warm tones”, “bright colors”, “pastels”, and we will do our best to match your preferences.
While blooms can last up to a week if properly cared for, we recommend picking up your buckets no more than 2 days before your event and ideally the day before the event.
Buckets are only available from mid-April through the second week of October. The exact date varies each year.
Design work is very subjective. Due to the quantities of emails we receive daily in regards to weddings, we are unable to offer design advice. However, if you would like to discuss anything more specific as far as the quantities of blooms and how many buckets you may need to suit your wedding and event needs you may book a consultation. For design advice, we recommend the following book, “A Year in Flowers” by Erin Benzakein.
There is a $7 per bucket deposit (for the bucket itself) and it’s fully refundable upon return of clean buckets.
Delivery is not included for DIY buckets.
The more flexible you are the more enjoyable the experience of fresh, farm flowers will be.
Because our flowers are at the mercy of mother nature, we cannot guarantee flowers.
Orders placed for unavailable dates will be canceled & refunded.
