DIY Designer Pails
+
Bulk Buckets

Hosting a bridal shower, baby shower, wedding or special event? Black Creek Flower Farm offers custom curated DIY floral pails, greenery pails, and bulk flowers from July-October, when our fields are at their peak. Simply choose your date, select your colour palette, and we'll have your flowers ready for pick up.

Our DIY Floral Pails are perfect for couples, families, and event hosts who would like to design some of their own wedding or event florals using fresh, seasonal flowers from our farm.

 

We offer two DIY bucket options:

DIY Designer Pail

A curated mix of focal flowers, accent blooms, textures, and seasonal elements.

DIY Greenery Pail

A curated mix of greenery, foliage, grasses, and textural elements.

 

Each pail is filled with the best blooms and elements available the week of your event, inspired by the season and curated to suit your colour palette and overall aesthetic.

With hundreds of flowers grown on our farm, many in multiple colours and varieties, we have an abundant selection to work with throughout the growing season. Rather than filling buckets by specific flower requests, we design each pail around your colour scheme, style, and the freshest flowers available at that time.

We always love to know what you are drawn to — and what you prefer to avoid — so we can be mindful when selecting your flowers. However, because we prioritize blooms harvested directly from our farm and trusted local flower farmer friends, we cannot guarantee specific flower varieties.

 

Seasonal flowers mean exactly that: whatever is blooming beautifully in the fields at the time of your event. Weather, timing, and natural growing conditions all affect availability.

 

Please note: consultations are not available for bulk flowers or DIY pails.

All DIY pails include a flower care, handling, and design tips sheet attached to your pail at pick-up.

 

 

SEASONAL AVAILABILITY

As the seasons change, so do the flowers on the farm.

We love curating event florals with the natural rhythm of the season, your colour palette, and your event aesthetic in mind. This allows us to choose what is most beautiful at the exact time we harvest — giving us the freedom to select the best of the fields and create a cohesive, abundant mix for your event.

Our DIY designer pails are filled with 100 stems.

 

Your bucket will represent the best of the season at the time of picking your order and will be custom picked and curated to your colour palette and esthetic. We use the same ratios we consider when making a bouquet.

Some possible ingredients are:
25% Focal Flowers - The stars of your arrangement, larger singular blooms: (dahlias, lissianthus, sunflowers, peonies, zinnias, chrysanthemums etc.)
50% Filler/Accent Flowers - Blooms that add volume & texture, unique stems that bring character and movement: (snapdragons, Amaranthus, cosmos, delphinium, celosia, gomphrena, yarrow, scabiosa, Salvia, Lavender, phlox, nigella, rudbeckia, marigolds, strawflower etc.)
25% Greenery/Filler - The finishing touch for a polished natural look and soften the edges of your designs.(cress, basil, statice, dusty miller, fennel, Mahogany splendor, willow etc.)

 

** These are the ratios we use, but these are just list of sample flowers we may choose from, from the hundreds we have to choose from.

Please note that premium focal flowers are included in the DIY buckets, however if full buckets of these large focal flowers are desired, they must be purchased separately. Additional premium flowers are sold per 10 stem bunch. They are available for order under 'Bulk Flowers'

DIY U-Pick Style!

Wedding flowers should be joyful—not stressful. Come to the farm, pick your blooms, and create meaningful florals with the people you love. If you are a relaxed bride and looking for more of the experience of picking and designing your own wedding bouquets, our U-Pick garden is open seasonally for you to pick each individual stem and design yourself. You can bring along pails to pick your own and bring home, or you can pick and set up at one of our picnic tables and create your pieces right in our field. (Water & clippers are provided for use at our U-Pick Stand). Selection does vary day to day depending on the weather, time of season and what other guests have picked.

 

We can not guarantee or promise any particular stems will be in the field. Late July - Early September our field is at it's peak and you will find the most abundant selection of flowers. What is available is always dependent on what mother nature gives for weather, a growing season and the volume of customers we have had  and what they have choices to cut for choices that week. 

 

Special Notes:

(It is important to use our provided water which has a special hydrating solution for the flowers, please use in any vases or pails you bring... be sure to bring disinfected pails/vases and get your flowers into water immediately as you pick.)

 

Please double check our social media for our U-Pick hours... the field opens early July (dependent on mother nature, we always hope for earlier but sometimes may not be till the second week of July if a cold spring.) The U-pick remains open until we have a frost, typically mid/late September.

 

Check out our U-Pick Page for all info regarding our U-Pick Garden.
