Help!
I'm a floristry student but have taken on a small wedding for my friend and wondered if anyone could tell me how many I'd get in 1 wrap/bunch of Calla Lilies (crystal blush variety)?

I need enough for 2 wrist corsages and a shower drop bouquet (which includes roses as well) but don't know how many you get in each wrap?

Any help is appreciated xx

guess it would depend on your supplier.

I usually get mine in 10's.

You would normally get mini cala in 10's and larger/longer in 5's.

If you're doing single cala for the wrist thingy that should leave you a nice 7 to mix with the roses and 1 spare

Might also be worth accounting for damages etc, as sometimes the worst does happen, i always feel its best to have a few over than be a few under...or wish you had an extra one or two for a design etc.
Just my thought though. The others are right you should expect to see 10 in a wrap.
