FAQ: Bulk Buckets, A La Carte, Full Service

Everything you need to know before you order. Don’t see your question? Email us at hello@freerange.flowers.

BULK BUCKETS

Each bucket contains 60-80+ stems.
Count stems for one arrangement and multiply by number of arrangements. Divide by 70.
One bucket fills 5 to 7 quart jars or medium arrangements. A bouquet can be anywhere from 20-80 stems or more. Add 10% so you have extra stems to account for breakage.
We try to make DIY flowers as stress-free as possible. Simply add a bucket or 8 to your cart, enter any additional color/vibe notes and your pickup date at checkout and hit buy! That said, feel free to give us info on any flowers you like and we’ll do our best.
3-6 months guarantees your date, but we can often fill requests even a week before pickup.

The day before or morning you plan to arrange. We condition our flowers so there’s no need to budget time for hydrating.
We recommend budgeting an hour for a medium to large arrangement, 30 minutes for small arrangements, and 10-15 minutes for the smallest arrangements (e.g. small wearables, bud vases). Times may vary with experience level.
Most arranging supplies can be obtained from garden and craft stores. These may include:

scissors/snips/pruners

floral tape

floral wire

pins

ribbon

vessels (vases, pitchers, bowls)

chicken wire / flower frogs

towels

spray bottle
Delivery is available in Whatcom County for $200. Please email us for additional rates.

Your DIY Flower Guide

Ordering

Select your palette — one of our popular color mixes or your own custom palette. Add buckets to your cart, enter your color notes and pickup date at checkout, and you’re done.

Pickup

Drive up to the flower barn and we’ll box up your flowers and help you load them. Just not in an open truck bed — these blooms do not appreciate the wind in their hair.

Storage

Keep flowers in cool shade until you’re ready to arrange. Re-cut stems at a 45-degree angle and place in clean water.

Arranging

Fill your containers with plenty of water. Set up your station at a comfortable height — a milk crate or sturdy box on a table works great. Bud vases are our favorite for quick arranging: pick a single variety and place 3–5 stems at staggered heights. For large blooms like dahlias or double tulips, one or two together makes a complete statement.

At the end of the day, they’re just flowers — and they’re already beautiful. We hope they bring you so much joy.
