Going in with a rough plan helps to design a consistent look. First is creating checklists help you visualize all the pieces you want to make. Prioritize how flowers will be allocated, and reserve your favorite stems for the bridal bouquet. Next is designing your recipes. Eyeball and divide the flowers for your bouquets, arrangements, or other pieces on your checklist and ensure sizing works before you begin.
