Floral design and botanical work with a point-of-view.
Flowers grown close to home. Unique forms and character. Designed around the season, the space, and the people they’re for.
Bucket Works is a flower farm and floral design studio based in Metro Detroit, highlighting flowers grown across Southeast Michigan and unusual varieties you don’t often see elsewhere. Designs are loose and garden-inspired or more sculptural, depending on the setting: from weddings and events to editorial work. Available for projects throughout the state and beyond.
Offerings & Services
-
You don’t need to know exactly what belongs on every table. I look at the room, your clothes, the layout, and what’s already beautiful about the venue when developing the flowers.
Floral Design includes the creative development of the flowers, sourcing, and production, with delivery and installation agreed for the wedding. For help beyond the flowers, Floral Design + Creative Direction can extend to linens, candles, tabletop selections, and other materials. On-Site Styling & Production is separately scoped for placing and adjusting non-floral elements.
Bridal bouquets are a specialty :)
LGBTQ+ weddings are always welcome. I also work on bridal showers and rehearsal dinners.
-
Dinner parties, birthdays, museum programs, memorials: the flowers have different jobs in each. I design table arrangements and larger floral pieces around the venue and the occasion, with delivery and installation included where agreed.
Styling with candles, textiles, vessels, or other materials can be commissioned alongside the flowers. I’ll work through what needs to be designed and placed, and who will handle setup and removal.
-
I develop floral and botanical work for photography, campaigns, publications, performances, and commissioned installations. You can bring an existing brief or involve me while the botanical part is still being worked out.
For Shinola’s Spring/Summer 2024 campaign, I developed meadow-inspired installations for photography and video, including botanical art direction, set styling, and on-site installation. Other projects bring in branches, fruit, textiles, or ceramics, depending on what the work calls for.
-
For birthdays, thank-yous, “thinking of yous,” or just having really good flowers around :)
I make wrapped bouquets and vase arrangements one order at a time. The flowers change with what’s available, so the shop is the place to see current offerings and ordering details. Pickup is in Hazel Park, with delivery options around Metro Detroit.
Subscriptions follow the growing season. Regular retail flowers, deliveries, and subscriptions pause after frost until spring flowers return; selected off-season commissions are arranged separately.
-
Recurring arrangements for a restaurant, shop, hotel, or office can change with the season. I also take individual commissions for launches, dinners, window displays, and lobbies.
Tell me where the flowers will go, when you need them, and whether you’re looking for a one-time project or an ongoing arrangement. I’ll work with you on the floral scope and any installation involved.
