How the DIY Flower Buckets Work
Make It a Pre-Wedding Moment
Even though you won’t be picking the flowers yourself, we still love suggesting this as a pre-wedding activity. Picking up your buckets the day before your wedding and spending time with your bridal party arranging them together is such a wholesome, creative way to kick off the celebrations. Grab some wine, lay out the stems, and fill your vases with colour and love—it’s a memory in the making, and a seriously sweet addition to your weekend.
Style It With Our Hire Collection
To help bring your flower vision to life, we’ve got just the pieces to show them off beautifully. DIY flowers shine best when displayed with care, and our wedding hire collection includes:
Vintage and modern bud vases – perfect for scattering blooms across long tables
Ceremony arches – let your flowers climb, cascade, or pop as a backdrop to your vows
Mix-and-match vessels and jars – ideal for a relaxed, rustic style
Urns and stands – for those bigger arrangements made from your handpicked stems
We’ve seen these elements paired with Flourish’s DIY blooms and the results are always stunning. There’s something so special about flowers that were picked by you and your loved ones, styled with intention and heart.
Florals with Flexibility and Heart
The DIY bucket option from Flourish Events is a brilliant choice for couples who want beautiful, seasonal flowers with a bit of creative freedom. Cass’s keen eye, generous blooms, and commitment to quality make this service a true standout.
