What can I get out of a bucket of flowers? A guide for prospective brides & grooms
If you buy a bucket of seasonal flowers what do you actually get, and more importantly, how far does it go?
Well, to start with, you will receive a bucket, filled with around 50 stems of gorgeous Cumbrian grown fresh picked flowers & foliage.
