December 21, 2022
If you’re considering ordering locally-grown Bulk Buckets of Flowers & Foliage to create DIY wedding floral, birthday floral, or set up a flower bar, there’s a good chance you’ve wondered, How many stems do I need to create bouquets, centerpieces, bud vases or a flower bar?
We wrote our Stem Count Guide for DIY Floral Design to help you figure out the amount of flower and greenery stems you need to complete your DIY floral project. Our Guide is completely free for everyone to download; we hope it is helpful and inspiring for your DIY floral project!
The suggestions in our Stem Count Guide are based on exactly what we, at Heirloom Soul Florals, a wedding florist in Buffalo, NY, use for our lush, garden inspired wedding floral designs. We hope you’ll find this information helpful in adding up how many Bulk Buckets you need to order.
Inside the Stem Count Guide, you’ll find stem counts for flowers and foliage for the following:
Stem counts for wedding bouquets, attendant (bridesmaid) bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, and flower crowns
Stem counts for laying greenery on round tables and long tables
Stem counts for traditional floral centerpieces in a medium 5-6” wide vase
Stem counts for mason jar arrangements, in pint and quart sizes
Stem counts for bud vases
Stem counts for flower bars (and suggestions for other materials you might need to make your flower bar a success!)
