If you’re planning a baby shower, bridal shower, or hen party in Manchester, fresh flowers are one of the easiest ways to create a beautiful setting. Whether you want a relaxed, countryside feel or something more elegant, flowers bring colour, texture, and a natural beauty that makes any gathering feel special.
At Birch Farm Flowers, we offer buckets of fresh, seasonal flowers that are perfect for decorating your event. Each bucket is filled with a carefully chosen mix of flowers, foliage, and herbs, freshly cut from our flower fields. They’re a cost-effective way to enjoy beautiful, locally grown flowers while also giving you the freedom to style them however you like.
Why Choose DIY Flower Buckets for Your Event?
1. A Sustainable & Seasonal Choice - Our flowers are grown right here in the Manchester area, without the air miles or harsh chemicals of imported blooms. Each bucket is filled with whatever is at its best that week—whether it’s delicate spring pastels, vibrant summer colours, or rich autumnal tones. You get natural, locally grown flowers that fit the season perfectly.
2. Budget-Friendly & Beautiful - Buying flowers by the bucket is a more affordable alternative to traditional event floristry while still giving you the wow factor. You get plenty of fresh, high-quality flowers at a lower cost than pre-arranged bouquets or installations, making it an ideal option if you’re working within a budget but still want something special.
3. Simple, Effective Arrangements - You don’t need to be an expert to make your own floral decorations. Jam jars and bud vases are an easy, affordable way to display flowers—simply pop a few stems in each and dot them around the venue. Cluster them together for a relaxed, garden-inspired look, or line them along the table for a simple but effective centrepiece.
4. A Fun, Creative Activity - If you’re planning a hen party or a gathering with close friends, arranging flowers can be part of the celebration. Set up a table with buckets of flowers, some vases, and a few pairs of scissors, and let guests create their own arrangements. It’s a lovely, hands-on way to bring people together—and everyone gets to take home a little piece of the day.
5. Double Up as Party Favours - Instead of flowers going to waste after the event, your guests can take their arrangements home as a special keepsake. It’s a thoughtful, sustainable alternative to traditional party favours, and everyone gets to enjoy the flowers for days to come.
How Many Flowers Do You Need?
One bucket is ideal for decorating a small gathering or creating a few centrepieces.
Two to three buckets work well if you’re decorating a larger space or want extra flowers for things like welcome signs or cake tables.
Four or more buckets are great for bigger venues or if you want to go all out with floral backdrops and installations.
How to Order Your Flower Buckets
Our buckets are available to pre-order and are delivered across Manchester on Fridays—perfect if your event is over the weekend. Just let us know your colour preferences, and we’ll put together a selection of the freshest blooms available.
