How to Order
-
Choose your date - pickup is recommended 1–2 days before your event.
-
Fill out the form - let me know your preferred color palette, vibe (romantic, wild, bold, airy?), and any must-avoids.
-
Confirm your reservation - I'll follow up with availability and payment options. Then you'll receive a reminder email a few days before your pickup with any additional information you may need at pickup.
-
Pick up at the farm stand - Make sure you have space to transport your bucket(s) without them falling. Also, please schedule your day so that your flowers won't be sitting in a hot car while you run errands.
Pricing Options
Farmer’s Choice Bucket - $105
~60–80 stems, grower’s mix, fresh & seasonal.
Custom Color Bucket - $135
Same generous mix, but I’ll tailor the palette to your vibe.
Big Bloom Bucket - $180
100+ stems for big-deal events, large installations, or people who just really, really love flowers.
Add-On: Greens bucket - $80
Grab a Greens‑Only Bucket (~60 stems), perfectly curated for texture and volume, to complement your blooms. Same design quality, less petal drama.
Add-On: Premium Stems - Starting at $25 per bundle
Add specialty blooms like peonies, gladiolus, or dahlias. Bundles range from 5-10 stems depending on the flower.
All flowers are grown chemical-free right here at Grey Dog Flowers in Asheville, NC. No imports. No fluff. Just good, weird beauty.
BONUS: for bucket orders exceeding $1,000, you'll receive a 30 minute zoom consultation with me.
We’ll refine your vision, nail down quantities, and talk through how to make your flowers look full, cohesive, and intentional.
You’ll leave with a clear plan and the confidence to pull it all together beautifully.
DIY Flowers with Personality
You don’t need a design degree or a Pinterest addiction.
You just need a bucket of flowers, a few containers, and a willingness to get a little messy.
Choose your color palette, pick up your bucket, and let the flowers do what they do best:
Show off.
Who This Is For
These buckets are ideal if you're:
-
Planning a DIY wedding and don’t want to spend your whole budget on peonies and stress.
-
Hosting a dinner party, shower, or backyard gathering that needs a little extra botanical drama.
-
Building a flower bar for your guests (because you’re obviously the fun friend).
-
Wanting something beautiful and affordable to fill your home, business, or altar to the flower gods.
-
Just someone who appreciates seasonal beauty and wants to play florist for a day.
-
Former attendees of Floral Workshops.
P.S. I see you, art teachers, baristas, and chaos-loving organizers of community potlucks. These are for you, too.
Seasonal Availability
Buckets are available from June through October - when the fields are blooming, the bees are busy, and the weather cooperates.
Everything is grown on the farm, which means what's in your bucket depends on the season, the rain, and whether the dahlias are in the mood that week.
If you're planning for a specific date, especially on a weekend, please order as far in advance as possible to secure your spot. (Buckets do sell out!)
What You'll Get
Every bucket includes a farmer-curated mix of:
-
Focal flowers – zinnias, dahlias, lisianthus, cosmos, rudbeckia, larkspur, foxglove
-
Filler blooms – feverfew, celosia, scabiosa, yarrow, snapdragons
-
Greenery & textural elements – basil, grasses, amaranth, scented herbs, flowering branches, celosia, honeywort, bupleurum
When assembling a bucket, the aim is for a rough 1:1:1 ratio:
-
⅓ focal flowers
-
⅓ fillers
-
⅓ greens and texture
Want more greenery? You can always add a Greens-Only Bucket for an extra dose of lush drama.
What you won’t get: dyed roses, imported ranunculus in July, or anything boring.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
How many arrangements does one bucket make?
One bucket generally fills 6–8 mason jars or 2–3 medium centerpiece arrangements, depending on how full you go. Think loose, wild, and garden-y.
Can I pick specific flowers?
Not exactly - there are palette options (like “bright & bold” or “neutral & soft”), but the actual varieties depend on what’s blooming that week. I promise it’ll be beautiful.
What if I need more than one bucket?
No problem! Many people order 2–4 buckets for weddings or larger events. You can mix Farmer’s Choice with custom colors or add extra greens/premium stems.
Do you deliver?
Local delivery is available to select areas for a fee. Otherwise pick up is at the farm stand. For more information visit the Location and Service Area page.
How long do the flowers last?
With clean containers and cool temps, your blooms should last 4–6 days. Flowers are harvested fresh within 24 hours of pickup for maximum vase life.
What should I bring to pickup?
A car with a little space and something to keep your bucket upright. I recommend bringing a box or crate to help it ride safely.
Can I return the bucket?
Yes! Reduce, reuse, recycle! Drop your buckets behind the farm stand and send me an email. Your Refundable Bucket Deposit will be returned to you.
The Fine Print
A 50% deposit is required within 10 days of confirming availability to secure your order. Until that deposit is received, your date is not held.
5-gallon buckets require a $10/bucket refundable deposit. Return the bucket to the farm stand for a refund.
Life happens, I get it. If you need to cancel, you’ll receive a full refund as long as it’s at least 14 days before your scheduled pickup date. Cancellations made within 14 days of pickup will incur a fee equal to 50% of your deposit.
If your pickup timing needs to shift, reach out as soon as possible - I’ll always do my best to accommodate, but changes are subject to availability (flowers don’t exactly run on Amazon Prime timelines).
By placing an order, you’re agreeing to these terms - and trusting me to grow and gather something really beautiful for you.
