Florists how many roses would you order for a wedding on average? We are doing our own and we need a questmate

We will be needing 6 bouquets, 23 centerpieces, flowers and greenery for an outside terrace or hupdha, 2 wreathes for the door, flowers for the buffet, and the area near the bridal portrait. So how many roses do I need to order? Also how much greenery and things like baby's breath do I need? Do you have any websites that offer suggestions? TIA!!!!

What type of flowers are used if your doing a winter theme in a wedding?
amaryllis are popular. i think white hydrangeas would be lovely, they are like snowballs.





for our winter wedding, i used white and green dendrobium orchids, white roses and black calla liles. it wasn't a winter theme though.

Reply:I was a wedding coordinator. One of the winter weddings I did Had the bride wearing a white velvet hooded dress, the most beautiful gown I have ever seen, She wore short white leather gloves and carried a fur muff on which were placed a spray of white orchids mixed with tiny gold leaves and interspersed with tiny gold Christmas lights. The brides maids wore Christmas red velvet dresses and carried white fur muffs on which were placed red poinsettia. It was an evening wedding, therefore formal The men wore white tie and tails with sprays of Christmas holly in their lapels trimmed with pine. The Church was decorated with candles and large baskets of poinsettias and Christmas holly. I've done quite a few weddings but that was one of the most beautiful and luxurious I had done.
Reply:Im not a genious when it comes to flowers but here is some pics and sites I found, I think you need to know what flowers are available to you then choose your colours





Red and cream is a typical obvious choice but at the same time it does look good for a winter wedding, but check out these if your not keen on red

Reply:I'm not exactly sure what flowers are most prominent in the winter, but I WOULD NOT recommend roses. They are very rare to find in the winter, and if you can find them, they will be extremely pricey. They usually die off after the first frost of the year, so I would stick with a flower that thrives most in winter. Definitely a red color. That would look beautiful.
Reply:White lilies, ferns, chrysanthemums, orchids, white roses, white gerbera, calla lilies.

Check out this knot bio at site above for ideas. It has some really lovely winter wedding photos. Lots of floral and decor ideas too. Takes a minute to load, so please be patient. It is worth the wait.
Reply:i suppose you could use pointsettias, they're associated with winter. And then, there's plants like holly. You could also look into evergreen plants i guess....
Reply:Red or White roses. If it's around Christmas of course you may use Poinsettias.
Reply:well there is always poinsettias...boring





but you could do white roses, holly berries, babies breath
Reply:If you're not going for a "Christmassy" feel but more "Wintery", try ice blue and silver with snowflake accessories


White lilies, calla lilies, babies breath, white hydrangea, roses

I found some great links.


Not knowing your budget, your taste, how many guests and other details, it's impossible to know which location to suggest.


I did see that some locations offer package deals, but not certain what all is included.


Hope this helps!


Good Luck!

What are some ideas for party favors for a wedding reception?

Just looking for some ideas as party favors for people at the reception. We want something cute and hopefully white and blue, really any kind of blue. We are having flowers everywhere. My mother is a florist so the decorating is going to be in almost all flowers.

What are some ideas for party favors for a wedding reception?
Here are a few suggestions for you:


1. Lottery tickets in a blue organza bag


2. Some sort of sea salt and herb recipe in a small blue bottle. You can usually buy the bottles in bulk and that will save you a ton of money.


3. If mom is a florist, then you could easily do small potted orchids.





I went on the Martha Stewart wedding site, and the first thing that I saw was a beautiful white and blue cake. But check out her ideas for favors. Also one of my favortite sites, The Knot. Both sites are below.


Hope this helps!
Reply:I would go to an arts %26amp; crafts store, or a party store and pick out all your party favors there to match your theme...


They both have big selections these days...


Balloons with wording on them, candles, noise makers, pretty colorful cocktail glasses, (they make these in plastic now), colorful necklaces, bracelets, hats, streamers, plates, napkins, utinsels, etc...
Reply:You are so lucky your mom is a florist. I am jealous--I'm getting married in October. Some websites that have inspired me for party favors is http://beau-coup.com as well as http://theknot.com . Just because I saw them on the website doesn't mean I am going to buy them. They have inspired me to want to create my own. Some of them I probably won't be able to make myself, but at least I can see what is out there.
Reply:i`d say you have it covered very well CONGRATS best of luck to you and your husband to be
Reply:Hershey's hugs and kisses wrapped in Tulle


then a tag that reads


Hugs and Kisses from the Mr. and Mrs.





cute!
Reply:Most people like candles, which are inexpensive and come in a variety of styles; you can easily customize the outside of votive holders. You can also use a votive holder as a container for candy (M%26amp;Ms come in designer colors) or a small vase for a floating flower. You can make a donation to charity on behalf of the wedding.


Just find something that represents your day and relationship. You can always personalize whatever you get with a clear sticker saying whatever you want on it.
Reply:I like picture frames with the two of you in it then I can just come home and put it on my shelf and hope for the best for you

What dress!?

okay..well i was wondering if i could have a black sash around my waiste on a ivory dress. ( my wedding colors are pink,red and orange...dont say anything bad, im a florist ..i trust myself lol. ) So black isnt anywhere in my wedding but i really love that look. Also, what dress type will look good on me. Im only 5'4 and weight 150lbs. (really curvy)

What dress!?
black %26amp; ivory go fine together. very classy. try it on it the store %26amp; see. A-line dresses are always flattering too.
Reply:Wear a dress that shows all your curves. If you want a black sash, go for it. Interior designers all say each room should have a touch of black as it grounds the room, so it's OK to add to your wedding. I imagine all the men will be in black, so black is already in the wedding.
Reply:you said that you trust yourself. if you like that look, then go for it. black goes with everything. depending on what type of bouquet your will have and how you will carry it, your flowers would look stunning against the black sash. if someone has a problem with it tell them to kiss it.





its your wedding. you can do what you want.
Reply:I think you should skip the black sash...and by the way I love your colors... I'm sure they'll look stunning next to your flowers. The most flattering dress type is A-line, esp. for curvy figures. Best wishes!!!
Reply:i really wouldn't do black on the ivory. i would take one of the colors that you have chosen and use that as a sash around the waist line. but if you have an a line dress (which really is flattering) then i would do it at the bottom of the dress. that way it won't draw attention the the curvy hips and bust. you could have it around the top of the dress as well if you are doing strapless.
Reply:Your size and weight isn't enough to let us know exactly what will suit you. Halter necks are always nice but there are just so many different styles and so many different body shapes - it just depends! Do you have a piccy or anything?





As far as the sash goes, could you add a black sash to the bridesmaids and maybe on the bouquets to tie it all in? I am guessing the men will be in black so I think it would go quite nicely.
Reply:I love your wedding colors! Anyway, I don't think the sash would look right unless you include black elsewhere in the wedding. Maybe tie black ribbon around the bouquet or something. I think an A-line dress would be very flattering on you. That is the type of dress I got and I have the same type of body...it makes your waist look small and I like that! This is the one I got and I am wearing a coral colored sash...
Reply:ooohhhh I think it sounds nice!
Reply:Not really fond of an ivory dress with a black sash.


Keep the ivory and forget the black sash!
Reply:Listed below are a few dresses that fit what you are looking for. My friend and i were about the same size as listed above and we were curvy in different ways me on top her on the bottom so i picked thing that would look good on top curvy and some for bottom curvey. Good luck with your wedding dress shearch.
Reply:As long as the men are wearing some sort of black, your dress will match with their attire. Have you thought about the girls wearing black and white too? I had my girls wear black and white and then had very vibrant colored flowers...fushia, yallow, purple, dark pink, yellow, etc. Looked awesome.

HELP! Am I missing anything...?

I plan on getting married in December. I just wanna make sure I have everything, at least the basics. We're having a small wedding for now until we can afford a bigger one later on. I know I'll need musicians, a florist, a baker, and someone to record (video) and take pictures. Maybe ushers and a caterer (for food). Can anyone think of anything else I may need? Thank you guys! =] Also what are some cool food ideas?

HELP! Am I missing anything...?
Gown


wedding bands


Wedding license


Limo or car


Honeymoon


MOH and Best Man


Guest list


Venue


Church or JOP


FOOD and drinks


China, silverware, linens, napkins
Reply:Well, you're missing the fact that you only have ONE wedding, so make this one the one you want! It's silly to think you can have "another one" later.... what are you thinking?


Other considerations - booking someone to perform the ceremony, wedding attire for couple and attendants, readings for ceremony, decorations...


For food, go with a traditional buffet for dinner - you can choose several entrees - like a roast (usually beef is best, or pork) and turkey or ham.... or specialty entrees if that's your thing; hot veggies, assorted salads; marinated veggies, some sort of potato dish, like roasted baby potatoes; cheeses, pickles, buns; variety of desserts.


Good luck!
Reply:And officiant is the most important thing that you need to get married!
Reply:An officiant and possibly a DJ if you don't have someone to play music. A place to have your wedding. Invitations. Bridal party. License. Food depends on your time of day and theme. You could always do ham or turkey since those are generally on sale around then. A traditional family dinner type thing would be neat since it is around Christmas. You could also do comfort foods..things that make you feel warm. Best of luck.
Reply:Try going to the website for Brides magazine..they have checklists for what to do 6 months ahead, 3 months, ahead..etc...
Reply:So I am guessing you have a place to get married and a person to do it? And you have a place for the reception, do you have linens for your tables? If you have a cater are they going to provide the tableware ( dishes , forks). What about drinks? Have you orded invites? What about a dress and tux? Do you have bridemaids and groomsmen, cause you will need to get them gifts. What about the rehersal dinner, and who all is coming.
Reply:You'll want to look into an officiant and place to host the ceremony. Don't forget the small thing as well, like invitations, favors (if you plan to have them), rehersal dinner, etc.





Also, you may need to rent china, silverware, glasses, linens, chairs %26amp; tables. So keep in mind what's included when you book your halls/locations for reception %26amp; ceremony.





As far as food is concerned--what time of day you have the wedding can play a big part in what you need to serve. For an early morning affair a brunch buffett can be economical and classy. Think along the lines of quiche, fresh fruit platters, chicken salad on croissants, green salads with light dressings, an assortment of muffins. This can also be a big saver on a bar tab-bloody mary's and mimosas!





For an afternoon reception, you can consider light appetizers, or just cake and champagne/punch. An early evening cocktail hour is a great alternative as well.





What about a tapas reception? Then you can serve Sangria. mmmmm...sangria :)





Also, there are a lot of websites out there for brides that are free membership and offer checklists for planning. Try www.theknot.com or www.brides.com. You can always copy and paste the list and delete anything you're not planning on.
Reply:1) A BUDGET!!!!! Weddings get out of control quick sit down with the fiance, parents and figure out how much you have to spend on the wedding then list what is important to you in order. The more important things get taken care of first and then find ways to save on the less important things.


2) Dress


3) Selection of bridesmaids %26amp; groomsmen


4) Invitations, Save the Date cards, RSVP cards


5) Location


6) Officiant (pastor, priest, rabbi....etc.)
Reply:honey you have forgotten about one important thing. A PASTOR.
Reply:Who will be providing the table settings? the over lays, napkins, the chair covers, plates, glasses.... Just because your having it caterer doesnt always mean that they bring their stuff. Ok not what about center piece??? flowers???





for flowers if your on a budget try this place

they do amazing work. As for food ideas, seriously, little hole in the wall places are the best. They're not in a rush, and they make it all about what you want. if you need help with anything else e-mail me addy is in the profile
Reply:Invitations, officiant (pastor, jp, priest), tailor (for alterations to your dress), DJ.
