Flower Buckets/DIY Arrangements FAQ

1. What are DIY flower buckets?

DIY flower buckets are curated selections of fresh, seasonal flowers, foliage, and greenery, designed for you to create your own floral arrangements. These are perfect for weddings, events, or just adding a personal touch to your home decor.

2. What types of flowers are included in the buckets?

Each bucket features a mix of flowers that are in season and currently growing on our flower farm. We include a balance of focal flowers, secondary blooms, and greenery. Specific varieties vary depending on the season, but you can expect vibrant, high-quality options.

3. How many stems are in a bucket?

Each bucket typically contains 120 stems, which is enough to create several medium-sized arrangements. For smaller or larger orders or specific needs, custom bucket sizes may be available upon request.

4. Can I request specific colors or flowers?

Yes! While we can’t guarantee specific flowers due to seasonal availability, you can let us know your preferred color palette or style, such as romantic pastels, bold brights, or neutral tones. We’ll do our best to accommodate your preferences.

5. Do you offer advice or tips for arranging flowers?

Yes! Each DIY bucket includes a guide with helpful tips for trimming, conditioning, and arranging flowers. We’re also happy to answer any questions or provide advice when you pick up your bucket.

6. How far in advance should I order a flower bucket?

We recommend placing your order at least 2–3 weeks in advance, especially during busy seasons like spring and summer. For weddings or large events, it’s best to book as early as possible to ensure availability. Please note, the week before and after Mother’s Day are considered “high-season” and are usually best to request ASAP.

7. How do I care for the flowers after pickup?

To keep your flowers fresh:

• Recut the stems at a 45° angle and place them in clean water when you are arranging.

• Store them in a cool, shaded area away from direct sunlight.

• Change the water daily and trim the stems every couple of days for maximum vase life.

8. Where and when can I pick up my flower bucket?

Buckets are available for pickup during weekday evenings or weekends. Specific pickup times and locations will be confirmed when you place your order.

9. Do you deliver?

We will deliver in Fort Smith or Barling for an additional delivery fee. If you need delivery, please email us at anniesgardenblooms.com or call/text 479-883-3809 to check on availability.

A flower bucket with 120 stems is $250. This will create several medium sized arrangements. If you need a smaller or larger quantity, please reach out to us for pricing. Need more than one bucket? Discount pricing available for multiple buckets.
