I would definitely say the rose in number one. The orchid and lily seem to be very popular.

Here is a list of the flowers I have orders for this year.

Roses
calla lilies
daises
Gerber daisies
stephanotis
Dogwood

and orchids are becoming more popular as a wedding flower, but there are several varieties of them. Cattleya, moth, and cymbidium are the 3 most popular orchids that I make.

For leaves, the basics are rose leaf and plain leaf cutters. Depending on your style, you may like ivy too.

SweetArt- That's a great starter list! I have a few, and have wanted to add to my supply, but as jhansen13 stated- it can be rather overwhelming!
I jotted these down on my 'must have' list! icon_smile.gif Thanks!

I don't normally suggest plastic cutters, I think you get a much cleaner cut with metal. But, because Roses are the most requested flower by students and by brides, have you tried Nic Lodge's all in one or easy rose? It is a plastic cutter and comes in a nice medium size or a super large one that is a bit too big for me. They are the fastest way I have found to make gumpaste roses and they make a very pretty flower.
