How to Style a Beautiful DIY Wedding in Cornwall with Our Seasonal Bloom Buckets
Share
Every couple wants their wedding day to feel entirely personal, but planning a celebration in Cornwall shouldn't mean blowing your entire budget on a rigid, traditional floral package. If you love the idea of getting your hands dirty, breathing in the scent of fresh earth, and adding a deeply personal touch to your venue styling, DIY wedding flowers might be the perfect path for you.
Here at Trelowen Flowers, grown sustainably on our off-grid farm near Liskeard, we believe that beautiful florals should be accessible. That is why we created our Seasonal Bloom Buckets—a curated, freshly cut collection of our finest stems, ready for you to arrange.
What Exactly is a DIY Bloom Bucket?
We don’t just throw random off-cuts into a bucket. Each of our DIY buckets contains a carefully balanced mix of approximately 60 to 70 stems, specifically chosen to complement your chosen wedding colour palette. We ensure you get a beautiful variety of:
- Focal Flowers: The stars of the show (like our lush dahlias, romantic roses, or delicate cosmos depending on the month).
- Textural Elements & Fillers: Architectural seed heads, airy grasses, and delicate lace flowers that give that signature "just-picked" look.
- Lush Foliage: Fresh, vibrant greenery to provide structure and movement to your arrangements.
As a general rule of thumb, one bucket can easily fill 7 to 10 standard jam jars or bud vases, making it an incredibly cost-effective way to dress long barn tables, windowsills, or bar tops.
The "Best of Both Worlds" Approach
If the thought of making your own table decorations sounds fun, but the idea of constructing your own bridal bouquet makes you break out in a cold sweat—don't worry. You are not alone!
Many of our couples opt for our hybrid option. We take care of the high-stress, technical elements—like the bridal bouquets, buttonholes, and delicate hair flowers—ensuring they look flawlessly elegant and hold up perfectly throughout the day. Then, we provide the coordinating DIY buckets for your friends and family to arrange in your venue. It keeps your budget beautifully balanced while keeping the morning of your wedding relaxed and joyful.
