Perfect for couples who want flexibility without compromising on quality, this offering is an ideal way to add a personal and meaningful floral touch to your big day.

What Makes This So Special?

While the name might suggest you're picking the flowers yourself, the magic of this service is that Cass does the hard work for you. Using her deep knowledge of the flowers she grows and your colour palette or theme, she thoughtfully selects and cuts a beautiful mix of seasonal blooms ready for you to arrange.

It’s a wonderful option for:

• Budget-conscious couples who still want that lush, fresh-picked looks.

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.
