So I'd say go for 6-8 packets. Are you basing the back too? Does the back get based? If so get a bit more.
Would be quite nice with a mossed back
Always better to slightly over order cos at least xanths last and you can put them out as bunches

Hope thats helpful

I think you can use abaca for the back.

Thanks for the tip Jo, These are so funny! where do people learn to make things look so crap.
The last Gates of heaven I did was about 8 years ago it was the one in the interflora book edged in yellow ribbon if anyone remembers that, I thought it was ace when I'd finished and wanted to do another one but no one ever ordered another one!

Thanks for the help guys - got a bit of a shock when I opened it as I didn't expect the arch to have a hard back.... Abaca sounds ace I think I will get some. What a lot of palaver for a family tribute that is going out at cost. Only plus side is a based one for my portfolio. I have some lovely yellow callas for focal flowers on the spray - hope auntie ruth appreciates it!
