FAQs
Are DIY Flowers Right for Me? There are lots of things to think about when choosing whether to go DIY for your wedding flowers. Consider things such as your budget, whether you’ll have enough time, helpers, and workspace to do your own flowers? With DIY flowers, we’ll provide you with buckets of beautiful, vibrant flowers, but everything else is up to you!
Can I buy DIY Buckets for the Centerpieces and then have you create the bridal bouquets (and other pieces)? Yes. Lots of brides are really excited about DIY flowers but are understandably nervous about making their own bouquet. Bridal bouquets generally range in price from $200– $350. We can also make other specialty pieces for you such as boutonnieres and corsages. For a full proposal please complete this FORM.
When should I Pick Up my Flowers? A day or two before your wedding or event, depending on your schedule and how much time you’d like to arrange them.
How should I transport the Flowers from the Farm? This will depend on what vehicles you have available and how many buckets you’ve ordered. Flowers can never, never go in a trunk or in the open bed of a pick-up truck. Any vehicle that you put them in should be air-conditioned. You can usually fit 3 – 5 buckets in the back seat of a sedan, and many more in a SUV. Don’t forget to bring a tarp if you’re worried about splashing water!
How and where should I store the Flowers? Any cool (ideally air conditioned), shaded place will be fine. A cool garage would be ideal. Refrigeration is unnecessary, and the flowers will be super fresh and in water, so will easily last 3-4 days without any special care. Remember that heat and direct light cause flowers to open quickly and wilt sooner.
What Supplies will I need to Arrange my Flowers? You’ll need a workspace (preferably cool and shaded) that has a water source and can get mucked up with stems and plant debris. You’ll need sharp, clean clippers, since each stem will get at least one cut. For centerpieces all you’ll need are your vases – make sure they’re very clean (bacteria clogs stems and causes premature wilting). If you’re doing bouquets, you’ll need floral tape to wrap the stems together, as well as lovely ribbon and floral pins to hold the ribbon. Once you’ve made the bouquet, it’s convenient to have a mason jar with water at the ready to put your bouquet in until you need it for pictures or the ceremony. For boutonnieres and corsages you’ll need some floral tape, ribbon and floral pins. All of these floral supplies can be found at any craft store.
