Buckets of Blooms for Weddings and Events
DIY flower buckets are perfect for special occasions. Whether it is a bridal shower, baby shower, conference, a wedding, rehearsal dinner, or anything in between our blooms can hep elevate your event and provide just that right touch. We can provide both flowers and foliage, and always choose the best of the blooms we have at the time. Because of this, specific color palettes cannot be guaranteed, but we always have a wide array of blooms available throughout our growing season which runs from July to early October.
If you are specifically looking for peonies, we offer peony buckets of mixed peonies (pink, white, and red) when our peonies bloom. This is roughly the first 3 weeks of June here in Midcoast Maine, but it can vary according to the moods of Mother Nature. If you would like all one color, please reach out in advance to place your request. We do our best to accommodate these, but there are a limited number of buckets available and this is a first come, first served option.
If you have a specific color palette in mind, reach out as soon as possible. In certain instances we can even add things to our grow list. However, nothing can be guaranteed as we grow organically, and regeneratively, and Mother Nature will always be the deciding factor of what what flourishes on our farm at any given time.
In general, our buckets will offer between 60-100 stems. I typically use between 10-20 blooms per one quart mason jar. The size of your vessel (mason jar, bud vase, larger vase) will determine how far each bucket will go, as will your design style, ie, how full or loose you want to fill your vessels.
Interested in bulk buckets of tulips, lilacs, or daffodils? These are typically available from March through May, weather depending. These are priced separately but we are happy to accommodate requests for these when we can. Just email us!
Often couples would like the bouquets to be made for them and then to do the other flowers as DIY buckets. This option is available – reach out for more information and read this page if you think this is something you would like!
Interested in a bouquet bar and workshop to add on to your DIY buckets? We are happy to offer a bridal party design bar, with or without a champagne brunch here at our farm. Click here for more details!
