Technical Implementation Directives
- Single File: Everything in one
.htmlfile. CSS in<style>tags, JS in<script>tags. - Zero-Storage: DO NOT use
localStorage,sessionStorage, or cookies. Maintain state using a plain JS object variable and update the DOM reactively. - Responsiveness: Use Flexbox/Grid for mobile-first layout. On mobile, columns should stack vertically with smooth transitions.
- Animations: Implement CSS transitions (
transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out) on buttons and input focus states to provide tactile feedback. - Interaction: Use custom modals (div overlays) for any alerts or print-preview requirements. Do not use
alert()orconfirm(). - Performance: Native JavaScript only. No heavy frameworks. Minimal dependencies (e.g., Tailwind CSS via CDN for styling utility, optional icon library via CDN).

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about using this application.
How does the stem count calculator work?
The calculator uses the dimensions of your container and the desired floral density to calculate the necessary volume of stems. You select the vase shape—such as round, square, or cylinder—and the arrangement style, which automatically adjusts the density multiplier to fit your aesthetic vision. The algorithm accounts for average stem thickness and foliage-to-bloom ratios. Once the base stem count is determined, the tool adds an optional buffer for filler greens and textural elements, ensuring your arrangements look lush and professional rather than sparse.
Can I adjust the prices for specific flowers?
Yes, the tool includes a highly customizable flower list where you can input the price per stem for specific varieties. This feature allows you to differentiate between budget-friendly blooms like carnations and premium stems like peonies or orchids. By updating these fields, the total budget estimate remains accurate to your local market or specific wholesale supplier prices. You can dynamically mix and match various flower types to balance your total spend against your design goals.
Is this tool suitable for DIY wedding flowers?
Absolutely, this tool is designed specifically for DIY wedding flower projects where budget management and quantity accuracy are critical. It helps couples avoid the common mistakes of overbuying or underbuying by providing data-backed quantity estimates for various arrangement sizes. Whether you are planning a small intimate gathering or a large reception, calculating precise counts helps you order flowers with confidence from online wholesalers. This minimizes waste and ensures that all your table centerpieces and bridal bouquets have a consistent, uniform look.
How do I save my floral design calculations?
Because this tool is built for maximum privacy and security, it runs entirely in your browser's memory without storing your data on any server or utilizing persistent browser storage like cookies or LocalStorage. Your data remains strictly within your current session. To save your work, use the built-in 'Export Summary' feature. This will generate a clean, print-friendly layout of your floral requirements, including stem counts and price breakdown, which you can save as a PDF or print to bring with you to the flower market.
