DIY Flower Buckets

Are you a bride planning a wedding or a host planning a shower or party? Have a special event coming up? Do you like the control that doing things yourself allows? Want florals that are totally unique? Then our DIY flower buckets might be the perfect solution for you! 

​

Available April through June, DIY buckets are a fantastic way to save a little on your flower budget, without sacrificing quality, quantity, or style. 

​

What is a DIY Flower Bucket? Each DIY bucket includes 50-60 stems and makes about 3 quart-sized Mason jar arrangements or 5 pint-sized Mason jar arrangements (depending on how full they are). Flowers can also be used to create centerpieces, boutonnieres, corsages, flower crowns and combs, bridal and bridesmaids bouquets, and more! The possibilities are only limited by your imagination. 

​

Purchasing a DIY bucket or two will ensure your event will have one-of-a-kind, totally unique to you florals. As an added bonus, with proper care your arrangements will last almost another week after your event. You can spread the magic and give them out as favors and hostess gifts. 

​

FAQ's:

• Can I request specific flowers? DIY buckets will take advantage of whatever flowers are freshest and most abundant at the time of the event; however, if you have a specific color or look in mind we will do our best to accommodate your requests (specific colors not guarantied).

• Do you provide the vases? No, we don't provided vases for our DIY bucket orders. Beautiful vases can be purchased at thrift stores, antique malls, and even big box stores. There's also the classic mason jar which can be purchased almost anywhere.

• Do I keep the bucket? Yes! 

• Can you design my florals for me? We are accepting a few events for 2024. Please contact us with your request. 

• When should I order my flowers? We require a minimum of a 2 week lead time for DIY buckets. We also suggest that you schedule pickup of your flowers for 2-3 days before the event. Orders can be placed months in advance, and we can start a conversation about your event's flower needs long before that. 

• How do I get my flowers? DIY buckets can be picked up at the flower stand when it's convenient for you.

• Is there a minimum or maximum order? No minimum order. Our maximum order will vary depending on the volume of flowers available to harvest. If you need to place a large order, please contact us as soon as possible to discuss your needs.

Other useful information and considerations:

• Gather all the tools you'll need beforehand. You'll need vases, sharp flower snips, a few people to help you (depending on the size of your event), and a staging space to set it all up. Depending on what you plan to create you may also need floral tape, ribbon, pins, chicken wire, or floral foam. We recommend setting up in an indoor, climate controlled area, away from direct sunlight, with access to fresh water and plenty of workspace. 

• Make a plan. We'll provide the healthy, gorgeous flowers to turn your vision into reality, but you should do your research and have a plan. Our advice is to find some images of the look you're going for and print them off for inspiration and reminders later on. 

• Recruit help. Many hands make light work, especially if you're putting together flowers for a big event. Enlist 1-3 crafty friends to help you assemble your event florals. 

• Practice, practice, practice. If you plan to try your hand at more complicated flower work like corsages or boutonnieres, purchase a few grocery store flowers (OR stop by the farm stand and grab some blooms) ahead of time and practice your technique on them. That way you're not trying to learn a new skill the night before your big event! No one needs that added stress. 

• Scan the "Making Your Flowers Last" QR code. This is located on the back of the Acre Woods Flower tag, and you can also find it here. You'll learn some helpful tips and tricks for getting the most life from your flowers.
