What is a DIY Bucket?

A DIY Bucket is a curated mix of in-season blooms and foliage grown here in CNY, custom harvested to order. Because we exclusively sell locally grown flowers, our selection varies from week to week and is guided by nature. In turn, you'll receive the same premium, florist-grade stems that our professional buyers design with each week.

We currently offer two packages:

• Our Premium Focal Bundle includes luxurious blooms such as double tulips, ranunculus, peonies, lisianthus, or dahlias. These extra special flowers are perfect for adding an elegant touch to wedding work and handheld bouquets.

• Our Everyday Flower & Foliage Bundle includes a balanced mix of secondary flowers, fillers, and greenery. These versatile ingredients are perfect for bouquet bars and casual gatherings, or as a foundation for premium focal flowers.

How it works:

1. Tell us about your event. Complete our request form to share your event date, your preferred colors (+ one off-limits color, if desired), the number and type of arrangements you plan to make, and any other helpful details.

2. We create a custom estimate. Our team will help you determine how many stems you need for the event and provide additional recommendations as needed.

3. We shop for you. During the week of your event, we'll shop for a gorgeous assortment of flowers and foliage from the 15 farms in our Collective.

4. Pick up your order & get creative! Your flowers will be custom harvested, fresh, and ready to use right away. Enjoy arranging with them yourself or include your friends and family in the fun.
