flowers? PIP

so I think I found some flowers that I like. I found some at sam's club and the other at costco. I wanted to use local flowers but I realized that running around to pick them up in mt vernon the day before my wedding would stress me out... so back to square one...

well I really want hydrangea and FI likes 'the ones that look like a wine glass' flower, calla lillies. it seems like we won't need any more than 10 centerpieces, 6 bouquets and some corsages/boutineers.

SO, on to the question. these bouquets come 8 in a pack, I was thinking i'd get two packs of the 8 bouquets, to make 6 bouquets and 10 centerpieces. (we'll be using only some of the flowers in the the pics in the bm bouquets. :)






Then I was thinking of buying this, too:




it has 40 calla lillies and 20 hydrangea. I'll use it for centerpieces/decor as well.

That should be enough flowers right??

I will also be purchasing some blue/green flowers for my bouquet but for the most part, this will be it. WDYT??

    I think you may need more of the 8 bunch.  Esp since you will only be picking and choosing for your bbouquets.  Also, what about blue/green hydrangea. its in season right now and would TOTALLY match your colors, it would be nice to accent. I LOVE the all white calla lilly for your bouquet.  Or if you want a cheaper option, get a bunch of a green filler plant.  otherwise, I think your BM's will be a little on the smaller side (unless thats what you want(

    I agree with Kahala, plus I would want to have about 10% more flowers than I think I need just in case a few are bruised/dying, etc.

    I'm getting 2 of the packs of 8 bouquets. My bm bouquets are going to be all white. :) I read the reviews and people said they bought them and there were TONS of leftovers.So thats why I'm worried about getting more... I only need 10 centerpieces so even with one of the bouquets and two of the hydrangea from the other pack, they will be as big or bigger than what i originally planned to do..

    i'll be getting green hydrangea for my bouquet. :)

    You know, I really don't like calla lilies, but I think with this combo, they look great!  I think that bouquet is perfect for the feel of your wedding.  You are planning to order TWO of the 8-packs, and the pack of 40 calla/20 hydrangea?  I think that should be enough, especially if you're getting a little bit of other extras for yours.  Good scouting, Twin!
