DIY Wedding Flowers and Bulk Blooms Across the Prairies: Your Questions Answered
DIY Wedding Flowers and Bulk Blooms Across the Prairies: Your Questions Answered
By Bloom Boom Floral, Indigenous-owned floral studio in Saskatchewan
Can I order bulk flowers for my DIY wedding in Saskatchewan or Alberta?
Yeah, absolutely. That's honestly one of my favourite things to offer. You don't need to go through some big city wholesaler or pray that Costco has something decent the week of your wedding. Order what you want, I get it to you, you do your thing. Simple as that.
Is it hard to do your own wedding flowers if you're not a professional florist?
Honestly? Not really. Especially if you keep it chill and don't try to recreate something you saw on a styled shoot with a team of ten people behind it. The best DIY arrangements are usually just loose, natural, and made with flowers you actually love. I send basic tips with every bulk order so you're not going in completely blind, and if you've got a good eye and you're not overthinking it, you'll be fine.
What kinds of flowers are good for DIY wedding arrangements?
Stuff that's hardy, pretty forgiving, and doesn't need a lot of fussing. Some good ones:
Lisianthus looks like a rose but tougher and easier to work with
Sunflowers sturdy, happy, and very prairie
Dried grasses and wildflowers honestly just put them in a vase and call it done
Baby's breath fills everything out and goes a long way in bulk
Spray roses lots of blooms per stem, way easier than garden roses
Reach out and we can figure out what makes sense for your vibe.
How far in advance should I order bulk flowers for my wedding?
Two to three weeks out is a good sweet spot for fresh flowers. If your wedding is in peak summer, earlier is better, things get busy fast out here on the prairies. Dried florals are way more flexible so you can plan those further ahead without stressing.
Do you deliver bulk flowers to rural areas in Saskatchewan and Alberta?
Yes, and I mean it. Getting quality flowers in rural prairie Canada is genuinely not easy and that bothers me. We deliver bulk fresh blooms across Saskatchewan, Alberta, and the broader prairie region because your postal code shouldn't decide what your wedding looks like.
Can I order bulk flowers for delivery to a reserve in Saskatchewan?
100%. As an Indigenous-owned business this matters a lot to me personally. Access to florals in reserve communities and rural areas is limited and that's not okay. If you've had trouble finding what you need closer to home, I want to be that option for you.
What is the difference between ordering bulk flowers and hiring a florist?
Hiring a florist means you're paying for their time, design skills, and labour on top of the flowers. Which is worth it for a lot of people. Bulk flowers means you get the blooms at a better price and you do the arranging yourself. It's great if you've got a creative side, a few good helpers, and honestly it's a really fun thing to do with your bridesmaids the night before. Throw on a playlist, pour something good, make some bouquets.
How many flowers do I need for a DIY wedding bouquet?
Roughly 25 to 35 stems for a bridal bouquet depending on how full you want it. Around 15 to 20 for bridesmaids. Centerpieces depend on your vessel but usually 10 to 20 stems per arrangement. When you order I can help you figure out quantities so you're not drowning in leftover flowers or coming up short.
Do bulk flowers come with any tips or instructions?
Yep. Every order comes with basic care and handling tips so your flowers show up in good shape and stay that way through the big day. How to trim stems, how to store them, how to keep them alive in prairie heat. Nothing overwhelming, just the stuff that actually matters.
