22.5", 17" & 12" Whitewashed Wooden Boat Planters – Set of 3

A long, low boat-shaped container gives floral and plant designs an architectural profile that works especially well across tables, consoles, displays, and event settings. The Set of 3 Whitewashed Wooden Boat Planters – 22.5", 17" & 12" features three graduated wooden vessels with tapered ends, shallow sides, and a distressed whitewashed finish that allows the natural wood character to remain visible. The three lengths provide designers with different scales for centerpieces, plant presentations, permanent botanicals, seasonal arrangements, and decorative displays. Designed for professional florists, event designers, decorators, garden centers, and retail display work, these wooden boat planters offer a rustic-neutral foundation that can transition from everyday floral styling to weddings, sympathy work, holiday décor, and natural botanical presentations.

• Set: 3 graduated wooden boat planters
• Lengths: Approximately 22.5", 17", and 12"
• Material: Wood
• Shape: Long, shallow boat-style planter
• Finish: Distressed whitewashed natural wood appearance
• Liner: No plastic liner included
• Primary Uses: Floral arrangements, plant presentations, centerpieces, permanent botanicals, and decorative displays

The elongated shape makes these wooden planters particularly useful for designs that need horizontal movement rather than the compact footprint of a traditional round or square container. The largest 22.5-inch planter can support substantial centerpiece compositions, long botanical displays, or larger plant groupings, while the 17-inch and 12-inch sizes give florists matching options for smaller tables, coordinated event installations, retail displays, and tiered presentations. Their distressed whitewashed finish complements garden-style flowers, neutral wedding palettes, dried botanicals, succulents in separate pots, seasonal greenery, artificial flowers, and rustic or coastal décor without dictating a specific color scheme.

The price listed is our everyday professional wholesale rate — the same straightforward pricing available to working florists, event studios, retail flower shops, garden centers, decorators, plant retailers, and other buyers, with no account application and no minimum order required to access the price shown.

• Compatible Applications: Floral centerpieces, artificial arrangements, dried botanicals, potted plant presentations, seasonal décor, weddings, event displays, sympathy work, and retail merchandising
• Water Use: Not intended to hold standing water directly; use a separate waterproof liner, tray, plant pot, or other watertight insert when moisture is required

For fresh floral arrangements, place wet floral foam or another hydration mechanic inside a separate waterproof liner or watertight insert before positioning it in the wooden planter. Do not place saturated floral foam directly against the unfinished interior wood, since prolonged moisture can stain, swell, or damage natural wood surfaces. For potted plants, keep the grower's pot or another waterproof container inside the planter and remove excess drainage water after watering. Artificial flowers, dried botanicals, moss, decorative branches, and other dry materials can be arranged directly or secured in dry floral foam placed inside the vessel.

Take advantage of the boat shape by designing horizontally along the length rather than treating the planter like a conventional upright pot. In centerpiece work, keep lower materials extending toward the tapered ends and establish height closer to the center for a balanced composition. For coordinated events or retail merchandising, use the three graduated sizes together to repeat the same floral palette at different scales. Because the finish is intentionally rustic, natural variation in the wood grain, distressing, and whitewashed appearance should be expected and contributes to the character of the container.

Who Uses This: Professional wedding florists, event and corporate floral designers, retail flower shops, funeral and sympathy florists, garden centers, plant retailers, hospitality floral programs, visual merchandisers, floral educators, and decorators creating floral, botanical, and seasonal displays.

What are wooden boat planters used for in professional floral design?
Wooden boat planters are useful for elongated floral arrangements and centerpieces where a long, low profile is more appropriate than a round or upright container. The tapered shape naturally supports horizontal floral movement across dining tables, event surfaces, mantels, retail displays, and sympathy presentations. These three graduated sizes also allow designers to repeat the same container style across different scales within one event or merchandising program. They can be used with fresh flowers when a waterproof insert is added, or directly with dry and permanent botanical materials.

Can these wooden planters be used with fresh flowers or live plants?
Yes, but a separate waterproof liner or container must be used because these wooden planters do not include liners and should not hold standing water directly. For fresh flowers, place saturated floral foam inside a watertight tray or insert before placing it in the wooden vessel. For live plants, leave the plant in its nursery pot or use another waterproof inner container to protect the wood from irrigation and drainage water. Dry flowers, artificial botanicals, and decorative materials can be used without a moisture barrier.

What is the most efficient way to buy wooden floral planters for a professional flower shop?

There is no trade-account application, minimum order, or separate wholesale quote required to access the price shown.

Important Use Note: These wooden planters do not include waterproof liners and are not intended to hold standing water directly. Always use a separate waterproof insert, tray, plant container, or other moisture barrier when working with wet floral foam, fresh flowers, or live plants. Natural variation in wood grain, distressing, and finish is characteristic of this style.
