Flowers by the Bucket (August 19th)
Flowers by the Bucket (August 19th)
Local seasonal flowers can add the perfect touch to an event, anchoring it to a moment in time. We supply weddings, baby showers, birthday parties, and other special events with our fresh cut flowers by the bucket. They are filled with a beautiful variety of flower types, colours, shapes, and textures reflecting the season. You'll get the best blooms and foliage that are at their peak at the time of your event so that you can put together your own stunning arrangements.
Buckets contain 55-70 stems and are typically 50% foliage, 25% filler flowers, and 25% focal flowers.
All buckets are “farmer’s choice” in regard to color palette. These are the flowers that we feel are at their best on the day. They could be jewel-toned, cheerful brights, soft pastels, moodier, earthy tones; it depends on the point in the season and what our flower field offers. Foliage included. Typically, at least two buckets are needed. Photos depict two bucket orders.
Bucket pickups are on Wednesdays from 4:00 pm - 7:00 pm at Rising Tide Farm - 9018 Gee St (between Riverside and Portage)
Not sure how many flowers you need?
Bud Vases - You'll need 1-5 stems per vase. This will vary depending on the size of the vases and the size of the flowers you choose to group together. A zinnia or dahlia could go alone, while a group of foliage, grasses, and smaller flowers might contain 3-5 stems. A cluster of bud vases can have a nice impact, or you can spread them around singly. Bud vases are easier to transport and assemble than larger centrepieces and are a sweet and simple way to highlight your flowers.
Centerpieces - You'll need between 8 and 25 stems for a 5-7” tall by 4” wide vase or one of similar size. This may seem like a huge range, but the number of stems you choose depends on the look you are going for. 8 stems will give you a loose and delicate look, while 25 stems will give you a lush, full look.
Bridal and Bridesmaids Bouquets - Bridal bouquets typically take 30-60 stems, and bridesmaids bouquets take 16-30 stems, depending on the size you would like them.
Boutonnieres - Boutonnieres typically take 3-6 stems. Side shoots from main flowers, grasses, and smaller blooms are great candidates.
