We are excited to offer dahlia buckets for your event! Do-it-yourself dahlia buckets are best for small events like engagement parties, bridal showers, baby showers, anniversary or birthday parties as well as budget-conscious weddings.

Pre-orders are being accepted for events happening August 8 - October 11, 2025. Event orders must be placed in advance.

2025 Bulk Bucket Pricing:

$85 per bucket (40 dahlia stems)

Our Guarantee: Once cut, dahlias typically have a vase life of 4-6 days. We are committed to having happy customers and providing the freshest dahlias. Unfortunately, we are not able to guarantee dahlias if they are not handled with care. If there are any issues with your cut flowers we must be contacted within 1 hour of pickup.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • There will be 40 stems in each bucket. The majority of stems will have one bloom, occasionally there may be two blooms attached to a single stem. The blooms can range in size from 2-6 inches. Stem length will be around 12 inches. *Please note we do not offer any greens or filler.

  • We ask that you request a color palette. For example, if you request a white bucket and a pink bucket all 40 stems in the white bucket will be white varieties, and all 40 stems in the pink bucket will be pink varieties.

  • A $50 deposit is required to reserve your buckets. A PayPal invoice will be sent to you to submit the deposit. The remainder is due before pick up. 

  • It depends on how many arrangements you are wanting to make, and the size of each arrangement or bouquet. Typically, one bucket of dahlias can make 6-8 mason jar size arrangements (with greens, Columbia River Dahlias does not offer greens or filler).

  • Of course! You’re welcome to purchase a bucket (or a few) before your event to practice designing. We recommend practicing at least two weeks before your event. 

  • Dahlias cannot be transported in the back of a pick-up truck, car trunk, or in a vehicle without air-conditioning. It is best to coordinate pickup of 4 or more buckets with an SUV. 3-4 buckets can fit in the backseat of a sedan.
    There will be water in each bucket, you may consider bringing a towel or tarp to help with splashing water. A cardboard box may also help stabilize buckets.

  • We recommend picking up your buckets the day before your event so they remain as fresh as possible.

  • Unfortunately, we are not accepting orders of less than 1 bucket (40 stems) at this time. If you’d like single bouquets please follow our social media accounts to find our flowers at our flower stand and local markets.  

  • Dahlias need to be stored in a cool and shaded area. Avoid direct sunlight before your event, and remove from your vehicle as soon as possible. For best results, place dahlias in an air-conditioned room before and after your event.
