Share
Planning your wedding flowers can be one of the most creative and memorable parts of your special day. At Bountiful Blooms Farm, we make it easy and affordable for DIY brides to craft stunning floral arrangements with our Bulk Bucket option. With seasonal blooms fresh from our fields, you’ll enjoy the experience of picking your own flowers while saving on costs!
Here are our top tips to make your Bulk Bucket experience as seamless and successful as possible.
1. Start with a Plan
Before you arrive, think about your floral vision:
- Color palette: What shades match your wedding theme?
- Style: Do you want a wildflower look, a modern vibe, or something classic?
- Arrangements: How many centerpieces, bouquets, or installations will you create?
Having a clear plan will help you stay organized and choose the right flowers during your visit.
2. Know What’s in Season
Our fields change with the seasons, offering a variety of blooms throughout the year. From vibrant zinnias to fragrant dahlias, the flowers available will depend on what we’ve planned to grow and what’s already blooming.
Pro Tip: Call ahead of time to check what’s in season during your chosen date. This way, you’ll know exactly what to expect and can plan your floral arrangements accordingly.
3. Bring a Team
Flower picking and arranging is even more fun with loved ones! Each Bulk Bucket purchase includes admission for two people, and you can add additional guests for just $10 each. Invite friends, family, or bridal party members to help pick flowers and share in the experience.
4. Gather Your Tools
Make sure you have all the supplies you’ll need to arrange your flowers once you get home:
- Buckets of water: Keep flowers hydrated during transport.
- Flower snips: We’ll provide snips for picking, but extras at home can help.
- Floral tape, wire, or foam: Essential for creating bouquets and centerpieces.
- Vases or containers: Make sure you have enough for all your arrangements.
- Ribbon or twine: Add a polished finish to bouquets.
5. Pick and Care for Your Flowers
When you visit the farm:
- Cut stems properly: Snip stems at an angle for better water absorption.
- Hydrate your blooms: Immediately place flowers in water to keep them fresh.
- Store carefully: Once home, re-cut the stems and let flowers hydrate for several hours or overnight before arranging.
6. Keep It Simple
Let the beauty of your flowers shine. Mix bold statement blooms with soft greenery and fillers for arrangements that feel natural and balanced. Trust your instincts—there’s no wrong way to design with flowers!
7. Schedule Your Picking Day Wisely
Our open dates are posted at the beginning of each month, so plan to pick your flowers as close to your event as possible while leaving enough time to arrange them.
Pro Tip: If you’re unsure about timing, call or email us for advice. We’re happy to help you choose the best day to ensure your flowers are at their freshest.
8. Delegate Setup on Your Wedding Day
Assign a trusted friend or family member to handle the floral setup on your big day. This allows you to focus on enjoying your wedding while ensuring your arrangements look perfect.
9. Enjoy the Process
Creating your wedding flowers should be as enjoyable as the event itself. Walking through our flower fields, hand-picking blooms, and crafting your own designs will create memories you’ll cherish forever.
