Our DIY bud vase bar offers thoughtful hosts with an activity and a party favor in one. From baby and bridal showers, to birthdays, retirement parties, and company milestones, give your guests a moment to be hands on with locally-grown, seasonal flowers. We provide everything you need for 6 to 12 guests, including bud vases, flowers, and gift bags for taking home. 

Add on a few pairs of flower shears or a pocket flower press for guests to save a few favorite blooms.

Bud vase bar orders include the following items, with enough for your selected party size:

  • Bud vases - Your choice of clear, green, or gray bud vases, or a mix of all three colors.
  • Seasonal flowers and foliage - A bucket of seasonal flowers sourced from local farms, processed and ready to use for your designs.
  • Small gift bags and tissue - For your guests to take home their designs.
  • Flower care guide - A link to our flower care best practices, so you can keep your flowers looking fresh for as long as possible.

Bud Vase Bar FAQs:

  • Unlike our other flower orders, bud vase bars can be ordered for any day of the week, with at least 1 week's notice. Please select your pick-up week from the drop-down menu, and tell us your preferred pick-up days in the check out notes.
  • Bud vase bars come with 1 bud vase per person and 2 extras (a bud vase bar for 6 people will come with 8 bud vases).
  • We prep and pack all of your items for pick-up from our studio at 157th and Riverside Drive. Bud vase bars are not available for pick-up from Buunni Haven Plaza, and do not include delivery or set up.
  • After your event, nothing needs to be returned to Elderflower; any extra bud vases, flowers, buckets, and bags are yours to keep.
  • If you'd like Elderflower to deliver and set up your bud vase bar, or if you'd like to order a bud vase bar for more than 12 guests, please reach out to us here or email hello@elderflower.studio for our full-service options!

Flower Order FAQs

What flowers will be in my bouquet or arrangement?

At the moment bouquets and arrangements are designer's choice, and the flower varieties and color palette will vary from week to week. We work with what's in season, so with each order you'll get to experience the blooms and colors of the moment.

For custom flower orders for a small event or group gift, please see our wedding and event offerings here, or fill out our event inquiry form here.

How and where to I pick up my flowers?

  • Flower orders are available for pick-up each Wednesday (unless otherwise noted on our website) from two locations: Buunni Haven Plaza (starting July 15th), or our Washington Heights Studio at 157th and Riverside Drive. You'll choose your location at check-out and once you place your order you'll receive an email with any additional pick-up details!
  • Orders for Wednesday close the previous Monday at 12pm/Noon EST, and any orders that come in after 12pm/Noon EST on Monday will be processed and ready for pick-up the following week!
  • Any gifts or accessories you order will be ready to pick-up with your flowers.

We are hoping to offer more pick-up locations and days in the coming months, so stay tuned and sign up for our newsletter to be notified when those open!

Can I add a gift note?

Yes! To add a gift note please write your message in the notes at checkout and we'll include a handwritten gift note with your flower pick-up.

We can also provide a blank gift note card if you'd prefer to write one after pick-up! Just let us know in the notes.

Do you offer delivery?

At the moment, delivery is available on a case-by-case basis. This is a (mostly) one woman show, so depending on the week I can take on a few deliveries at a time! If you’re interested in having flowers delivered to you or someone else please get in touch and I’d love to work something out!

We are planning to offer delivery soon to upper Manhattan neighborhoods, from Morningside Heights to Inwood. Sign up for our newsletter to be notified when delivery slots open.
