Fresh-From-the-Farm Buckets

Seasonal stems, straight from the field to your hands. Whether you're planning a wedding, hosting a dinner party, or just need an excuse to fill every room in your house with flowers, these DIY buckets will help you make something beautiful (and probably a little wild).

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.

How It Works

1. Pick Your Palette

Keep it simple. You choose either:

Farmer’s Choice (we surprise you)
Custom Palette (you choose a color mood—think soft pastels, moody jewel tones, bold brights, etc.)

2. Reserve Your Bucket

Order online at least two weeks in advance to reserve your date. Buckets are available from June through early October.

3. Create Something Gorgeous

You’ll get a generous mix of focal flowers, fillers, greens, and texture. Use them for centerpieces, bud vases, flower crowns, or an elaborate floral altar to summon the rain—whatever you’re into.

Rough estimate: One bucket fills about 6–8 mason jars or 2–3 medium arrangements.

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.

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 Bouquets + Bites Workshop

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 early 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, cosmos, rudbeckia, larkspur, foxglove
Filler blooms – feverfew, celosia, scabiosa, yarrow
Greenery & textural elements – basil, grasses, amaranth, scented herbs, flowering branches

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.

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! Bring it back and get a $5 farm stand credit for being a sustainability superstar.

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.
