DIY Designer Pails + Bulk Florals

 This is a tricky one. The amount of flowers you need will depend on the style of arrangements you are planning to create. For Example, one person may use 30 stems in a larger mouthed container, while others may simply use 5 stems in a bottle/vase. On Average, One 100 stem bucket will provide 6-8 quart mason jar centerpieces. (If we know what you are creating and quantities of each item you are creating we try to pick according this for your order. You would note this when you fill out the  'intake questionnaire' or when we call to confirm/finalize details of your order. 

Bring your own buckets or borrow and return ours to the farm. If you are bringing your own buckets PLEASE ensure they are VERY clean prior to your arrival.( a good scrub with soap, then disinfect with bleach or vinegar after wards and a really good rinse afterwards). You are responsible for your flowers once they leave, a dirty bucket can kill flowers before you even get to arrange them. Once you've picked up your blooms, be sure to store them in a cool place, out of direct sunlight, and add extra water to the buckets as needed until you're ready to arrange them. Water in buckets leaving the farm have a special flower holding solution added,  to keep your flowers happy and extra fresh. Do not drink this water. 

No, however our DIY Designer pails are the best of what is available the week of your event, inspired by the seasons, and curated in your event colour palette and esthetics. With hundred of types of flowers on our farm, each in many many colours and varieties of their own, we have an abundant selection of florals to choose from. We fill buckets by colour scheme and esthetic rather than specific flower requests. Although we love to know what you like and don’t like so we are mindful when selecting your flowers.

We prioritize and harvest our flowers and elements directly from our farm or local flower farmer friends, because of this we cannot promise particular flower types will be available for your event. Seasonal blooms means whatever is currently blooming in the fields. Due to changing weather patterns, we cannot guarantee specific flowers.

DIY Designer pails & bulk bunches we usually suggest picking up 1-2 days before your event. All flowers are picked and created fresh for your event and will last several days. We always suggest a dark and cool basement for storing your wedding flowers. Certainly keep away from any very warm areas of your home and direct sunlight. 

Please know that all fridges are not an even temperature throughout the fridge, typically you want to avoid storing florals in the back of the fridge where it can be the coldest and there is a higher risk of freezing. Rental cooler trailers will have colder areas in them as well. Keep a close eye on temperatures and monitoring in advance of pickup can relieve stress if you are wanting to store in a cooler. White flowers are the most prone to showing freezing, turning a brown shade slowly after being removed. (Flowers should never be stored in temperatures below 5 degrees. The optimal fridge temperature is 5-7 degrees). 

Keep your eye on water levels of any flowers in a vase or in floral foam. The flowers are fresh and thirsty and will most likely need a top up of fresh water.

Due to the nature of flowers, and the fundamental of them surviving on the care they receive, Once flowers have left our premise we are not responsible for them once they are out of our care and hands. All flowers going out our doors are fresh, in good condition and sure to last for many days given you look after them once picking up.
