# How do I figure out how many flowers I need for my arrangements?

## 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**](https://www.mayesh.com/product-planner) from [**Mayesh Wholesale Florist**](https://www.mayesh.com/) 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**](https://www.mayesh.com/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.
