Advice needed

well my dads funeral is on wednesday and i have been roped into doing lots of peoples flowers, i have to do

20 inch massed cushoin
3 ft massed cross
DAD massed arrangement
massed double open heart

i have to travel 200 miles with all this stuff so i have no margin for error, and its not like i can really use whats left in the shop as i wont be back till friday, and if i have too little stuff im screwed

the size of white double xant i usually get would take 10 bunches roughly to do a dad frame

but i have been sent the larger english one to bring the cost down a touch

i can only get 20 buches of this larger one, and the rest would have to be the one i usually have so my question is how much of each kind of white double would i need for each arrangement?
im usually quite good at knowing but my head is battered at the moment and im so stressed i cant think straight so any advice would be appreciated, i really dont want to get this wrong

thanks

see thread titled 'white double', you should be able to work it out reasonable close. these are using white euro.

4' cross= 32 stems
dad = 24 stems
18" cushion = 17 stems

You're probably like me, one day you'll get round to keeping a file of funeral tributes and white double useage for quick refetrence...when do you have time.?
I'm been doing them for years but still never remember numbers.

thanks fly, i will get round to doing that soon-maybe, and to counting how many box pleats each arrangement needs, i knew a woman who did that and would never tell how many it was
