How many stems do I need???

I am going to be using calla lilies in my wedding. For my bouquet, bridesmaid's, boutineers, ceremony and reception decoration... everything. How many stems do I need? I am going to use mini callas for the bridesmaids and boutineers, big callas for my bouquet and a mix for the rest of the decorations. We are having four attendants on each side and then an additional 15 boutinees.corsages for close family members. I just want to get an idea of how many stems I need because I am looking into purchasing my flowers wholesale and doinf it myself... I just don't know where to start!

I understand your situation. I am using tulips for my wedding in three weeks. I found a place online that sells them for really cheap. I figured 10 stems for my bouquet (but I dont want anything huge) and 7 for each bridesmaid. I figured one for each boutineere and two for each corsage. As far as the rest of your decorations, I dont know what you have in mind so I'm not sure what to tell you. Try to decide on specific decorations and figure out how many flowers you'll need. I'm using silk flowers for the decorations because we're decroating two days before so I'll not be stressed out the day of the wedding. Also, they place will ship my tulips to me to arrive the day before with care instructions. I'll put them in clean water and leave them in the fridge for abotu 4 hours, then make them the night before. Hope that helps. Calla Lillies are very expensive. However so are tulips (and they're almost impossible to find this time of year, so they're being shipped from the Netherlands). I'm paying $140 for 100 tulips. I'd search for a similar deal.
Reply:I would go buy a few silk flowers like the ones you will be using. Try the different styles of bouquets you will be using and write down how many you think looks good in your bouquet, the bridesmaids, etc. Then that should give you a pretty accurate count of the ones you will need and then order a dozen or so more just in case a few don't look so spiffy. Congratulations!
Reply:Because calla lilies are somewhat large and long, keep it simple for your bouquet. Maybe have 7 of them. Remember, it must be an odd number - they will photograph better.
