Adding it Up!

This is a short list of "stuff" but what I think is a better guide is my "green thumb rule" for budgeting on the thin end. After the "thin" end or bare bones flower amount is determined, if you want to go over ths amount, you know what you have to work with just to "start". My "green thumb rule" is as follows: For each block of 100 people budget $1000 for flowers. Now this again, mixes my premium and value added flowers into the bouquets for a better showing of size and flowers. So lets look at this for a moment. We have invited 100 people to a wedding. In this wedding we have 1 bride, 1 maid of honor, and 2 bridesmaids The bouquet addition (using the numbers from above) would be: 1x100=100 1x75=75 2x50=100 ---------- total=275 And there are an equal number of guys in the wedding party(of course): 1 groom, 1 best man, and 2 groomsmen/ushers, so: 1x15=15 1x10=10 2x10=20 --------- total=45 Combine both totals and you have $320 spent on the wedding party alone That then leaves us with $680 for the floral "decor" items. So let's add in the decor items and see what that adds up to!
