Wedding: March 2011

I have decided that I am going to do my own flowers to try and cut out some funds. I just have NO idea how many flowers I should be ordering. I have 6 maids and 6 groomsmen. We will also need four other bouts and 4 crosages. I will do a few small vases with flowers on the guestbook table and on the bar. I am planning on using fuller flowers like mums and carnation for the bulk with either tulips or roses as fillers.

Any idea how many flowers I should be ordering? How do you calculate this out?

Maybe something like this for me.

Wedding: November 1999

Hi! I did my own flowers (hydrangeas and roses) and what I did to determine how much I needed to order was to do a sample arrangement. I went ahead and purchased my vases and some flowers like the ones I would be using (you can usually find them at florists by the stem or grocery stores) and arranged them. This helps you both determine how much you will need and will help you practice so that when you’re doing your flowers for the wedding you will have had some experience. Good luck!
