Thank you for using local, sustainable blooms and choosing Hillen Homestead for your wedding flowers. We are excited to work with you! Our contract is below  - please read over the contract, fill out the details below, and pay the $75 deposit to reserve your date. Once we've received payment, we will confirm your reservation (this may take up to a week, especially during the busy season).

Please note: The contract and deposit below are only for clients who have already contacted Hillen Homestead to confirm date & flower availability. If you'd like more information or you'd like to send an inquiry, please head on over to our general Weddings & Events page.

Tips for DIY Event Flowers

• Identify a point person to help coordinate and set up while you're busy getting ready.
• Set aside work space (with water) where you can be messy.
• "Fresh From the Field Wedding Flowers" is a helpful resource with video tutorials and checklists.
• How much to order? A small-mouthed mason jar uses about 10-25 stems depending on the look you're going for. As a rough estimate, one DIY flower bucket may make: 1 bridal bouquet OR 2-3 bridesmaid bouquets OR 3-5 centerpieces.
• Even if you don't plan to grow your flowers, Georgie Newbery's Grow Your Own Wedding Flowers is loaded with tips for DIY arranging, stem counts, supply lists, timelines, and more.

Contract for Wedding & Event Flowers

By submitting this contract, I (the Client) agree to purchase bulk buckets of flower stems from Hillen Homestead (the Farmer) for the event date specified below.

Deposit & Payment

• The Client agrees to pay a $75 non-refundable deposit (online payment below) and order a minimum of $285 (3 buckets)
• The Client agrees to pay the full balance by online invoice (ACH transfer), cash or check (made out to Hillen Homestead) at the time of pick-up or delivery.
• The Client understands that all sales are subject to 6% sales tax in accordance with Maryland law. ​ 

Ordering Flowers

• The Client agrees to place an order at least two weeks in advance of the event by specifying total  number of buckets you'd like and the percent of flowers vs. foliage (we recommend 1/3-1/2 foliage). If there are changes after the initial order is placed, the Farmer will do her best to accommodate requests but cannot make guarantees.
• The Client acknowledges that additional guidance in ordering and planning flowers is not included with bulk wedding orders. Please check out our Weddings page for recommended resources or consider a one-hour $75 consult for more in-depth support, including a detailed list of supplies, guidance on stem counts, and other helpful tips (indicate on the form below if you'd like a consult).
• The Client is welcome to specify preferences of colors/styles/flowers, but please know that the Farmer cannot guarantee specific varieties ahead of time.
• On rare occasions when necessary, the Farmer may supplement with flowers from other local growers who use similar growing practices. 

Pick-Up or Delivery

• Generally, the Client should plan to get their flowers 1-2 days before the event. The Client and Farmer will work together to find a mutually agreeable time for harvest and pick-up/delivery.
• The Farmer may be able to offer delivery within Baltimore City for a $40 delivery fee.
• Pick-up is available for no additional fee from Charles Village.​
• After pick-up, the Client is fully responsible for flower care and should keep flowers in fresh water in a cool, dark place.

Our Promise

• The Farmer agrees to provide high-quality, sustainably-grown cut flowers for the Client's event.
• The Farmer will strive to accommodate the Client's color and style preferences whenever possible.
