    How many flowers would I need for a bouquet? I read 30-60 for roses, but I'm using sunflowers, along with some smaller flowers (not sure exactly what kind yet) so I'm thinking less. Any idea?

    Are you going to make your bouquet yourself?  If so, are you doing a trial bouquet?  That would be a good time to test our your flower amounts.

    depends on the type of arrangement you want really.

    for instance with my dress I wanted something on the smaller side since the dress is very ornate.  Also I have small hands (size 4 ring) so I went will a smaller arrangement of 15 or so roses and some ivy leaves around the base and I think it is the perfect proportion for me and the dress :-)

    why not go to a store and pick up some flowers and try clustering them together and see what seems right to you.

    my bouquet had approx 30-40 flowers in it.  I used hydrangeas, peonies, roses, tulips, alstromeria, daisies and mums.
