Need help with bouquet

[smileyone2002]

Ok, while I am in school today I need some opinions! I am going to hobby lobby this afternoon to get my flowers for my bouquet and BM's and such, hobby lobby has them for 50% off!! WOO HOO....that would be abuot .75 a piece i think. I was going to do lillies, but I am going to do daisy's, they seem easier to make in a bouquet(does that make sense??)

Anyways, I was just wondering how many I should have in mine, I dont want it to be huge but not too small either! I am going to use light pink, cream and maybe a darker pink. I just dont know how many to put in mine and how many to put in the BM.

Any advice would be helpful :frogg: Thanks ladies!!

I would guess 15-18 for yours and 10-12 for the bridesmaids, if your not putting anything else in the bouquets. But of course you will have a better idea once you get to the store. Walk around with it at the store and see what feel most comfortable to you.

Yes, that's a good idea. Definitely if you have all the flowers together in a bunch and just hold it like that while finishing up your shopping, you'll be able to see if it's too heavy, too small, if it needs any more embellishments, etc.

Dont forget to get ribbon and stuff too! And the most important ... DONT FORGET TO POST PICS!

OMG this is exactly what my mom made me do, she made me walk all the way around Hobby Lobby With this huge handful of flowers, It was so embarrassing she kept asking if it looked ok! But excellent advice, Definitely get others opinions and have someone else hold it so you can step back and look at it.:heart:

I ended up using 24 flowers in mine. I first made it with only 16 and ended up adding 8 more yesterday. My flowers were pretty large too and i had to use 24 to make it big enough.
