A LA CARTE AND DIY WEDDINGS
HOW IT WORKS
A step-by-step guide of how to create your order
1. SAVE THE DATE
This is the date you will either pick up your flowers (we recommend an ideal of the morning of your event, and a maximum of 48 hours before your event to ensure flower freshness) or would like them delivered. Unavailable dates are listed below.
We highly recommend that you reserve flowers for your date as soon as possible to ensure availability. Orders must be made at least 3 weeks in advance.
2. CHOOSE YOUR PALETTE
Our DIY wedding buckets and a la carte wedding items are available in 5 different palettes, which you can look through here! If you would like to learn more about the specific blooms we grow on your date, you can head over to What We Grow for more details.
Please note that our ‘cozy’ and ‘juicy’ palettes are only available for the last half of the season. We do not provide custom palettes for the 2026 season.
3. SELECT YOUR BOUQUETS
Mix and match from any of the a la carte menu items in our shop, in your chosen palette. Select your bridal bouquet, bridesmaid bouquets, and anything else you would like us to make– mini personals like pocket squares, flower crowns, arbor rentals, bud vases, and more. You can see size comparisons and more here.
Or, if you feel like creating your own designs with our blooms, select buckets of flowers and foliage to DIY!
4. CHECK OUT
Choose either free pickup in Longmont, free delivery within Longmont, or delivery for a $75 fee. There is no minimum requirement for delivery. You will receive a confirmation email detailing your order, along with delivery or pickup details, and a flower care sheet for tips on how to keep your stems looking happy and fresh.
Orders must be made a minimum of 3 weeks before your event. Any alterations to your order must also be made before that 3 week deadline. Please take care at checkout to select the date that your items will be delivered or picked up.
We are NOT available for booking on the following dates:
- October 6, 2025 to June 11, 2026 (off-season)

Thank you for supporting our small, local flower farm. It is an honor to provide some beauty to our community, on important days and every day. Your support means more than you could know!
When should I order?
The sooner the better! This will guarantee that the blooms for your palette will be available, and that you have time to make changes to your order should something arise. We are able to help you make changes to your order, if necessary, until 3 weeks before your pick up/delivery date.
Our a la carte menu items and DIY buckets are available mid-June through the first week of October. If you are looking to purchase for an event outside of those dates, please send us an email, just in case we are able to help you out! Please note that some palettes are not available until the first week of August.
Do you deliver?
Yes! We are proud to offer free delivery to all of our Longmont neighbors. Outside of Longmont, we charge a $75 delivery fee in Boulder county and the surrounding areas. Once you begin creating your order in the shop, you will be prompted to confirm the date and location of your event. If your venue is outside of our free or $75 delivery fee radius, please reach out via email to renee@loveletterblooms.farm, and we can work together on making that delivery happen for you!
Pick-up at our homestead in Longmont is always a free option as well. Delivery is required for arbor rentals. Once your purchase is confirmed, we will contact you for further information regarding delivery times.
What is included in a DIY bucket?
Each flower bucket contains 8 bunches of flowers. Each bunch has 6 stems of the same flower variety. This equates to 48 stems per bucket. The bucket will be a mix of focal flowers, sprays, and colorful fillers in your chosen palette.
Each foliage bucket contains 4 bunches of foliage. Each bunch has 12 stems of the same foliage variety. This equates to 48 stems per bucket. The bucket will be a mix of majority greenery and some textures (like grasses, seed pods, and dried stems) to complement your chosen palette.
Check out our bucket photos for examples on what to expect!
How many DIY buckets do I need?
The quantity needed for your event will vary greatly based on your designs! If you are looking simply to make a bridal bouquet and boutinniere for an intimate elopement, you will likely only need 1 bucket of flowers and 1 bucket of foliage.
On the other hand, if you are planning on creating a bridal bouquet, bouquets for 5 bridesmaids, bud vases at every table, a spray for your arbor, a flower girl crown, a table garden, 12 boutonnieres, and a dog collar? You may need 20 buckets!
The best way to determine your needs is to take a close look at your inspiration photos, and get a good count on how many stems each vase and bouquet contains. Add those numbers together, and round up 10% to account for error. Even for seasoned pros, flowers sometimes pop off the stem or get bruised or fall into the abyss during design work, so we highly recommend purchasing slightly more than you think you may need. We also have a bouquet and arrangement photos in a variety of sizes here, which may be useful as a reference.
In general, we recommend purchasing 1 bucket of foliage per every 2-3 buckets of flowers, to maintain balance in your designs.
Do you provide the buckets for DIY?
It’s your choice! As you are making your order, you may select the option to pay $7 each for a 5 gallon Loveletter Blooms bucket (no need to return them!), or you may supply your own at the time of pick-up or delivery. If you elect to bring your own buckets, please be sure they have been cleaned inside and out with warm, soapy water and rinsed thoroughly, and are at least 1/3 full of fresh, cool water. This all helps ensure your stems will last as long as possible.
How do I keep my flowers fresh?
We will provide a cut flower care sheet with your purchase that details all you can do to keep your stems looking happy. But when in doubt, store your flowers in a cool, dark place and change out the water often. All of your flowers will be harvested no more than a few days before your event, and will be conditioned and held in a flower cooler up until the last possible moment.
Do you provide flowers for other types of events?
Of course, we would love to! DIY buckets are such a fun way to add a creative activity to your event. Bachelorette parties, baby showers, clubs… Buildling bouquets could be a great and unique way to engage a group of people, and send them home with their own party favors at the end!
If you would like custom arrangements or a one-time bouquet, please reach out with your request, and we will work with you on a custom order.
Can I mix and match buckets and a la carte items?
Yes. Everything you may need for your wedding is available in our shop and may be purchased simultaneously. If you’d like Loveletter Blooms to design your bridal bouquet while you create the rest, for example, that is totally doable! As long as all of your selections are in the same palette, the sky is the limit.
Can I change or cancel an existing order?
If any alterations to your selections are needed, we are able to assist up to 3 weeks before your date. If you need to cancel your order within 3 weeks of your event date, you will receive a refund, less a 12% administrative fee.
