Seasonal flowers thoughtfully sourced and designed to reflect the region’s bounty.
Safe for cakes, flower girls, cherished guests, and up-close enjoyment for those you love.
Our Approach
Every wedding is shaped by what’s in bloom, where it takes place, and the people it gathers. At Bucket Works, floral design is a reflection of where and when you’re getting married: what’s blooming, what’s local, and what feels true to you.
I source our flowers from small regional farms and growers I know by name. When I reach beyond our area, I try to do so thoughtfully, choosing partners who share my values and prioritize transparency in how their flowers are grown and handled. I work closely with growers who care about the land and the people who tend it.
Ethical, local sourcing doesn’t limit what’s possible — it deepens it. The result is work that feels alive, rooted in the seasons, and specific to your day.
Whether you’re planning an intimate backyard ceremony or a large-scale celebration, I will design flowers that feel wild, grounded, and deeply human.
Wedding Flowers FAQs
When should we reach out to book florals?
Ideally, I’d hear from you 8–12 months before your date, especially for larger weddings or celebrations in peak summer or fall. If your date is sooner, please reach out anyway; we occasionally have openings and always do our best to accommodate. Because I design with locally grown flowers, the calendar follows the rhythm of the growing season.
What does your process look like?
The Bucket Works process follows five simple steps:
Inquiry: Fill out the inquiry form with your date, venue, and a few details about your vision.
Proposal: Within five days, you’ll receive a preliminary proposal with estimated pricing and scope.
Booking & First Payment: Secure your date with a 50% payment upon receiving a formal invoice.
Design Check-In & Final Payment: About four weeks before your wedding, I’ll confirm details, review seasonal availability, and collect the final 50% payment.
Production: On your wedding day, the team handles all production, delivery, and on-site setup so everything comes together smoothly.
What is your pricing structure?
For full-service weddings, the minimum begins at $4,800, which includes personal flowers, ceremony and reception designs, delivery, and on-site setup. Smaller or à la carte weddings may be available seasonally, depending on our schedule and flower availability.
Do you travel for weddings or events?
Yes! We regularly design throughout Metro Detroit and southeast Michigan, and travel for select destination weddings across the Great Lakes region and beyond. Travel fees vary based on distance, floral volume, and delivery or overnight needs.
Where do your flowers come from?
Nearly all of the flowers are either grown here at Bucket Works or sourced from other local farms I know personally. Working closely with small growers allows me to design with what’s freshest, most abundant, and true to the region. That connection is at the core of Bucket Works.
Do you ever use imported flowers?
On rare occasions, yes. If a design calls for a flower with cultural significance or when local options simply aren’t available — such as during the off-season or in emergencies — I may source from trusted wholesalers. When I do, I prioritize flowers grown in the United States first, and then work directly with select Dutch growers known for responsible practices and transparency.
Do you forage or use wild materials?
I don’t forage for commercial purposes, but I occasionally harvest from our own lot or from land where I have permission. These materials are used sparingly and with intention — never at the expense of local ecosystems. My priority is always to design in a way that honors both the landscape and the people who care for it.
