Wedding Bulk Blooms
Seasonal flowers, grown on our family farm in Shelby, NC
We create floral arrangements inspired by the seasons, right from our flower farm to you. Our small, family farm is located in Shelby, NC, where we believe in the power of local beauty. We specialize in cultivating heirloom and unique flower varieties to create qualities you wouldn’t find from a typical grocer or florist on hand. There is so much unforeseen beauty in what can be done with seasonal, local flowers. We’re grateful you’re here to take a look into that beauty.
Our Wedding Bulk Blooms package is perfect for couples who love our fresh-from-the-garden style and have the desire, skills, and time to design with their own flowers. This option is not ideal for clients who only want specific flowers, want in-person consultation, or have more complex design needs. There are a few simple questions to answer, and we’ll have the fresh, beautiful blooms for your big day!
You will simply let us know your color palette, preferred style, and quantities you need, and based on the amount you need and your budget, we’ll get back to you with an estimate. We've helped narrow down the process of selecting your wedding flowers by offering what’s at peak bloom for your wedding day on our farm.
Orders will be available for pickup during set times at our flower farm in Shelby/Patterson Springs area. We do not offer delivery with bulk blooms. Please note that we require a minimum $300 order to ensure flowers for your event date.
On the following pages, you'll find everything you need to get started. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. We look forward to working with you!

Your order will be packaged and labeled for pickup, with care instructions, at our flower farm in the Patterson Springs area.
