D.I.Y. Buckets of FLOWERS
Freshly Harvested From our Fields for Your Special Event
June through October, we offer seasonal, sustainably-grown bulk flower buckets for weddings and special events (birthdays, bridal showers, baby showers, parties, etc.). If you have the desire to create your own floral designs, buying D.I.Y. buckets of flowers is an excellent way to affordably add unique touches to your event.
D.I.Y. bulk flower buckets are an excellent option if:
You are interested in seasonal and sustainably grown flowers
You are flexible about flower type, color, and style
You have the time and talent to design your own wedding or event flowers (or better yet, can delegate it to a friend!)
D.I.Y. flower buckets from Trademarks Flower Farm are harvested fresh from our fields and greenhouses, and are ready for you to pick up a day or two before your event. Each standard flower bucket contains a mix of focal and filler flower varieties that are at their most beautiful and abundant in the fields. We also offer buckets of greenery, chock full of beautiful foliage.
How many flowers do you need?
Knowing how many flowers to order for your event can be difficult if you’ve never done it before. But have no worries, I got you! I put together this free stem count guide to help you decide how many flowers you’ll need. This guide tells you how many stems of flowers and foliage we typically use for specific designs, such as bridal bouquets, centerpieces, mason jars, and flower bouquet bars. It makes it super easy to calculate how many buckets you’ll need to order.

We generally harvest whatever looks best from our fields and greenhouses, and provide a colorful bucket of flowers. We will do our best to fulfill requests for specific colors, but can't always accomodate these requests depending what is blooming the week of your event. Ordering bulk buckets is probably not a good option for you if you are set on a very specific color palette (i.e.: white and blue). We work best with general color requests such as "soft pastels," or "a colorful mix," or "autumnal tones."
-
We provide only flowers that are in season and actively blooming on the farm at the time of your event. We do not import flowers in order to meet specific flower variety requests.

To ensure flower quality, keep your flowers in a cool and shady environment, out of direct sunlight and away from heat. Do not store them near ripening fruit or vegetables (they emit ethylene gas, which can decrease the life of your flowers). Always ensure the flower stems are in plenty of clean water, and keep them hydrated in vases or buckets of water as much as possible. Strip foliage on the stems that fall below the water line to ensure the longest vase life.
-
We have found that if you are just getting a couple of buckets, they will fit fine between the front and back seats of most cars (on the floor). If you are getting more than 3 buckets, please come prepared wth penty of room in your backseat or truck (for SUV/hatchback) for the buckets. If you are getting more than 8 buckets of flowers, a larger vehicle such as an SUV is recommended. Flowers should not be transported in the beds of trucks/in open air.
