how many flower arrangements are in a wedding?
Me and my fiance r starting to look for a florist and want to know of how many arrangements we need
That is entirely up to you. First you need to get an idea of how you want to decorate the place of your reception and go from there–will you have a head table, do you want something on each table, etc. If this is for the wedding that is again up to you, I personally like the arch, the kneeling bench with two gigantic flower arrangements on either side and palms behind the arch. Depends on size of church, I also like something small with a candle in each window. Of course, do you want all bridesmaids to have same bouquet or single stemmed flower and the maid/matron of honor to have something different, your bouquet and the no. of boutinerres you will need. Also, corsages for Mother of Bride and Groom, and Grandmothers and any other special person you might want to single out, Also bouts for Fathers and Grandfathers. For corsages of Mothers and Grandmothers, I prefer a corsage (wrist for Mothers and pin on for Grandmothers, not too big) prefer colors of flowers to co-ordinate with their outfits, does not have to match, but something compatible rather than the colors you use in the wedding. I cannot imagine an orange or red or purple corsage on a pale pink, blue or peach colored dress. Good luck.

it depends on how much you are prepared to spend, but a minimum would probably be your bouquet, 1 bouquet for each bridesmaid, a boutoneer for each groomsmen and the groom, and your dad, and corsages for the mother of the bride and groom, you may also want centerpieces for your reception, pew runners, and altar decorations if you’re getting married in a church, and perhaps a bouquet for you to toss to the singe women at your recpetion if you’d like to save your real bouquet. good luck!
