I am planning to DIY my wedding centerpieces and need advice on a flower recipe (how many stems of each type) for a 8inch compote container. I'm looking for a low arrangement that uses garden roses (3-5 to keep costs down), regular roses, spray roses, feather celosia and lollipop mums (see image, 2 inch blooms, single stem). As fillers, I am considering gomphrena, berries, dianthus, wax flowers, etc. as options. I also love the look of some hanging red amaranthus and using seeded and bonsai eucalyptus as the greens.
I'm thinking 3 garden roses, 24 regular roses, 5 spray roses stems, 4 feather celosia stems, 5 mums, 3 stems hanging amaranthus, 10 stems of fillers and 6 stems greens. Does this sound like too much? Not enough? Appreciate any advice!!! I'm trying to err on the side of extras just in case but also being budget conscious! Thanks!
