Use planning tools and design recipes to calculate accurate stem counts
The easiest way to determine how many flowers you need for your arrangements is to plan by design type and stem count, then use Mayesh’s online planning tools or your sales representative for guidance.
Best ways to calculate flower quantities
1. Use the Product Planner
The Product Planner from Mayesh Wholesale Florist is the most accurate tool for event planning.
With the Product Planner, you can:
-
Build flower recipes for each arrangement (bouquets, centerpieces, installs, etc.)
-
Enter how many of each arrangement you’re creating
-
Automatically calculate total stem counts needed per flower
-
Submit the plan to your sales rep for a custom quote
This is ideal for weddings, events, and large-scale designs.
2. Use the Flower Library for estimating
If you already know the flowers you want:
-
Browse products in the Flower Library
-
Adjust quantities based on your design needs
-
Submit a quote request for review and feedback
This works well for smaller events or simpler designs.
3. Work with your sales representative
Your sales rep can:
-
Help estimate stem counts based on arrangement size and style
-
Recommend substitutions if quantities need adjustment
-
Ensure you order the right bunches or box sizes for your needs
Why planning matters
Accurate stem counts help you:
-
Avoid over- or under-ordering
-
Stay within budget
-
Ensure consistent design results
-
Plan substitutions ahead of time
If you’re unsure which method is best for your project, your sales representative can help you choose the right planning approach.
