We provide generous buckets filled with fresh, seasonal flowers and foliage, thoughtfully selected in a colour palette that works beautifully together. You arrange the flowers yourselves — perfect for smaller weddings, creative couples, or anyone who’d like to spend time arranging flowers with friends or family in the run-up to the day.

This option gives you beautiful, farm-fresh flowers with the freedom to style them your own way.

When DIY Flower Buckets Are a Good Fit

DIY flower buckets work best if:

• You’re happy to arrange flowers yourself
• You have time and space the day before your wedding
• You’re flexible with seasonal flower choices
• You enjoy a relaxed, creative process

If you’re looking for full styling, installation, floral instructions or someone to take care of everything on the day, our Bespoke or Ready to Wear options may be a better fit.

What’s Included

Each DIY flower bucket contains a generous mix of fresh, seasonal flowers and foliage, carefully chosen to work together in your chosen colour palette.

• Buckets typically contain 50–80 stems
• A mix of focal flowers, secondary blooms and foliage
• Flowers are supplied in water, fully conditioned and ready to use
• Varieties are selected based on season, quality and availability

As a rough guide, one bucket can usually make:

• 10–15 jam-jar style arrangements, or
• a combination of smaller posies, buttonholes and table flowers

Exact quantities and flower varieties will vary — part of the beauty of working seasonally.

What You’ll Need to Provide

To keep things simple and flexible, DIY buckets are supplied as flowers only. You’ll need to provide:

• Vases, jars or containers
• Sharp scissors or secateurs
• Floral tape or ribbon (optional)
• A clear space to work
• A few willing helpers (highly recommended!)

Timing & Availability

This service runs from April to mid-September, when seasonal British flowers are at their best.

• Buckets are usually collected 1–2 days before your wedding
• Availability is limited each week to ensure quality and choice
• We recommend booking as early as possible, especially for peak summer dates.

If your wedding falls at the very start or end of the season, we’re always happy to advise on what’s likely to be available.

Collection & Delivery

• Collection is from us in Burscough at an agreed time.
• Delivery may be available subject to availability and an additional fee.

All flowers are supplied conditioned and ready to arrange.

A Few Things to Think About

Before choosing DIY flowers, it’s worth considering:

• Flowers take longer to arrange than you think — allow plenty of time
• You’ll need somewhere cool to store them overnight
• Arranging flowers should feel enjoyable, not stressful

Many couples love this option and make it part of the wedding build-up, often turning it into a relaxed, sociable afternoon with friends or family.
