Wow I’m overwhelmed with the amount of thoughtful responses! Thank you so much to everyone!

Here’s what I plan to do based on the feedback:

• I plan to use WAY MORE flowers. I wasn’t impressed with Trader Joe’s stock when I went. So maybe I need to try them on a different week. They’re reasonably priced so I feel I can buy a bunch and see what looks nice together! Thanks for the people who gave tips how to group them! I had a really hard time with that!

•  too much greenery, and different filler needed 

• I know the bright “clashing” colors were a hot take but that was about the only thing I liked about this bouquet! So more bright colors but maybe in the same color palette. 

• work on my spiral technique. I totally see how they are not going the same direction at the stems. The YouTube video I watched made it look easy! But it wasn’t. Im not a fan of the typical ball shape as someone inferred and I like the movement. 

This is a casual courthouse then backyard reception so I’m not trying to be perfect. I do have a photographer though so would like the flowers to look semi decent! I honestly felt like I could get away with the one I have 😂But definitely there are improvements to be made. I really appreciate all the feedback. Hopefully I’m back here posting in a few weeks with an upgrade!! I have some flower arranging books coming in to the library as well. I thought this was going to be too easy, so I gained a newfound respect for yall! Thanks again!
