Omena Cut Flowers would love to be a part of your wedding day. At this time, we  offer a DIY wedding option. Below are photos of bouquets we have made in the past in order to show you the flowers that are available for you or your friends and relatives to work with. Read on to learn more about how DIY works and click here to for a list of frequently asked questions and answers.

Some Basic Info...

 Come with friends and family to pick your flowers for later assembly. Please note that we do not supply or sell ribbons, pins, tape or other items you may need to DIY.

For DIY, I supply scissors, water, containers and floral preservative. It’s also a good idea to bring your own buckets and jars of varying sizes. If you pick your flowers and store them in a cool place with preservative, they will definitely hold for a few days. (Cooler morning or evening hours are good times to cut.)

Everything I grow lasts a minimum of 5 days in the vase. Of course the closer you pick your flowers to the wedding, the fresher and more beautiful they will be. You may pay by check, made out to OCF, and leave it in my lock box. You may also Venmo to @OmenaCutFlowers  (I do not accept credit cards.) I have pens and notepads in the shed for people to keep track of what they pick. Flowers are priced by the stem and marked by the row.

I suggest that DIY brides come out a week or so in advance to see what is blooming, what is about to bloom, and to make a sample bouquet or two. I also suggest that DIY brides have a backup source if there is a particular color, flower or filler that they are after. There is usually a large supply to pick from, but it’s advisable to have a second source to supplement if necessary.

Our Wedding History

At this time, we are only offering DIY weddings. For nearly a decade, we offered full service wedding work, from bridal bouquets to arches to centerpieces. And we are very proud of the work we did and cherish the relationships we made with our brides and their families. In looking to simplify, reduce stress and workload, we made the tough decision to back away from wedding work in 2023. We have relationships with a number of wonderful designers who come to the farm to pick our flowers and would be happy to refer you to them.

Testimonial

"We came to pick flowers for our wedding tables - everything was easy and the process was super fun! It was a great thing to do with my bridesmaids and we got so many cute photos. Such a great mix of flowers! Again, she was super easy to work with and all we had to do was pick them up. Would definitely recommend for all weddings and events!!"
