What Are DIY Wedding Flower Buckets?
DIY wedding flower buckets—also called “DIY hinkar med blommor”—are exactly what they sound like: buckets filled with fresh flowers that you arrange yourself.
Each bucket includes a mix of seasonal blooms and greenery, carefully selected to work together beautifully.
At Wildflower Farm, each DIY bucket includes:
- 1 bucket filled with fresh flowers in your chosen color palette and floral style
- A thoughtful mix of focal flowers, filler flowers, and greenery
- Flower care instructions to keep everything fresh before arranging
Your order will be prepared and ready for FREE pickup at our farm in Hökerum, or we can arrange delivery for a fee depending on your location.
This option is perfect for couples who want beautiful wedding flowers in the Gothenburg area without the cost of full-service floristry.
You simply take the flowers and create your own:
- Bridal bouquets
- Bridesmaid bouquets
- Table centerpieces
- Ceremony flowers
- Flower jars or bud vases
It’s wedding flower magic—DIY style.

Real Wedding Examples at Dahlbogården
We have had the joy of providing DIY buckets of blooms for a couple of weddings at Dahlbogården, a charming local wedding venue in Alingsås.
The buckets included a mix of:
- Flowers grown at Wildflower Farm
- Locally sourced blooms from fellow organic flower farmers
- A few imported flowers when certain flowers weren’t available locally
Sourcing flowers this way allows us to prioritize local and seasonal blooms while still ensuring couples get the colors and style they envision for their wedding day.
Maria, the owner of Dahlbogården, always does a fabulous job arranging the flowers. She transformed the DIY buckets into beautiful wedding décor, including:
- A romantic wedding arch
- Bud vases for the reception tables
- Flowers decorating the wedding cake
- Additional floral touches throughout the venue
Seeing how creatively the flowers came together was such a wonderful reminder of how versatile DIY wedding flowers can be.

Why DIY Wedding Flowers Are Perfect for Budget-Conscious Couples
Many couples searching for affordable wedding flowers in Sweden discover that DIY buckets are the perfect solution.
Here’s why.
1. A More Affordable Wedding Flower Option
Full-service wedding floristry includes design consultations, sourcing, arranging, installation, and breakdown.
DIY buckets remove much of that labor cost, making them a budget-friendly wedding flower option.
You still receive fresh, beautiful flowers—just with a little creative freedom built in.
2. A Fun Wedding Activity with Friends and Family
Arranging flowers together the day before the wedding often becomes a special memory.
Picture this:
Music playing.
Friends laughing.
Buckets of flowers on the table.
Someone learning how to spiral stems for the first time.
These moments become part of the wedding story.
3. Natural, Seasonal Wedding Flowers
DIY buckets embrace the beauty of seasonal flowers.
That means your wedding flowers reflect what is naturally blooming at the time—dahlias, cosmos, foxgloves, snapdragons, ranunculus, sweet peas or wild foliage depending on the season.
This approach often results in flowers that feel organic, garden-inspired, and beautifully natural.

Important Tips for Transporting Wedding Flowers
Flowers are delicate travelers, so a little care goes a long way.
When picking up your DIY buckets, we recommend:
- Transporting flowers in a vehicle with air conditioning
- Making sure the buckets have space to remain upright
- Avoiding leaving flowers in hot cars or direct sunlight
If transporting flowers yourself feels tricky, delivery may be arranged for a fee, depending on distance from Hökerum.
A Note About Seasonal Availability
One of the beautiful realities of working with fresh flowers is that they follow nature’s rhythm.
While you can share your preferred colors and flower varieties, sometimes weather, pests, or seasonal shifts affect availability.
In those cases, we may substitute certain flowers with others that match the same color palette and overall style of your wedding.
This ensures your flowers still feel cohesive and beautiful while staying true to the season.
