What This Is
A recipe-to-order calculator for wedding florists. Build arrangement recipes (e.g., "Bridal Bouquet: 15 roses, 8 peonies, 5 eucalyptus"), multiply by the event quantity, and get a master ordering list grouped by flower type with waste buffers and wholesale cost estimates. Eliminates the manual counting that leads to over-ordering (wasted money) or under-ordering (emergency flower runs).
Wedding florists do this math by hand for every event — 15 centerpieces × 12 roses each, plus 8 boutonnieres × 2 roses each, plus the bridal bouquet... it adds up to dozens of calculations. Getting it wrong means either throwing away $200 in unused flowers or making a desperate call to the wholesaler at 5 AM on wedding day. A structured calculator that does the math and adds a waste buffer saves money and stress.
How to Make Yours Different
A "Recipe to Master Order" workflow that mirrors how florists actually think — design the arrangement first, then scale it
Automatic waste buffer toggle (10% or 15%) because flowers break, arrive damaged, or open too early. Every florist knows this but many forget to account for it
Cost tracking with a markup calculator — input wholesale price per stem, see total event cost, and calculate the recommended retail price at your markup (typically 3-3.5x)
A "Hard Goods" section for non-flower supplies (floral foam, tape, wire, vases) so the full event cost is captured
