Bouquets – Tulips are such a delicate flower, and because of the natural bend the stem forms, they make a stunning statement in a bouquet. For the bride, we suggest 24 tulips. You can add greens if you would like, but we think the tulips can stand on their own. For the Bridesmaids, cut the flower count in half and have them carry 12 tulips each. Depending on how cost effective you would like to be you can do them in the same color, or choose another. For this example, we are accounting for 2 tulip colors, 2 bunches of one, and 1 bunch of another.

Lastly, the bouquets for the moms. Each mom should receive an even smaller bouquet than the bridesmaids, let's allot 6 tulips for each bouquet for a total of 12 tulips (you will have tulips left over if you need more than 2 bouquets)
