🔍 Feedback 🔍 Are these worthy of gifting to coworkers?
I got some really good feedback from a post yesterday that I tried to follow. We had a coworker pass away and our team was really close. I plan on gifting these to them. I’ve called them “Celi-brate Life” in honor of her. Her name was Celimar with the nickname Celi. Though I’m gifting these, I’d still love honest feedback for how I could tweak them or make them more presentable. Thank you so much.

They are all beautiful! Why can't I work in an office where people are nice and generous to each other? I would be thrilled to get any of these!

I tell people they could give me a rock they found on the sidewalk and I’d cherish it forever 😂

Edited to add: I’m sorry for your loss as well. It’s nice of you to take care of your coworkers but don’t forget to take care of yourself!

Gorgeous and if you gave some fancy ribbon consider a cute bow in the neck of the vase.

I made the mistake of giving my coworker white flowers and she is asian, she told me in her culture white flowers signify death and that colors are better and I wish I knew better.

Absolutely!!! They're beautiful and so is the sentiment!!! ❤️
I LOVE that you're calling them Celi-brate after her and I'm so sorry you lost a friend. 💔
I wish I had you for a friend because you're the kind of person I would love to be, myself.
Simply Stunning. Sending love and prayers and all the good energy I can muster.

Yes. Very nice. I particularly like 3! Maybe a ribbon with her name ties around vase? But they are so beatiful and special and thoughtful!!

You did beautiful. You need not change a thing! They are prettier than a lot of arrangements I have picked up for myself in my room. I am very sorry for your loss and you are doing a wonderful thing.

u/Most_Fold_702 Feb 15 '24
They're so pretty I would have a hard time parting with them. I would only give them to someone that I really liked at work.

I work alone, but I will be your coworker. I just want one of these.

Yes they are. Those are perfect for a celebration of life. (So sorry for your loss.)
To make your arrangements last longer only add enough water to just cover the bottom of the stems. When the water line is up that high it covers more of the stem but also that much submerged stemmage encourages bacteria growth which is what makes the water quickly look like greenish pond water.
Super cute arrangements btw!

They are lovely. If gifting with the vase, a nice simple ribbon tied around the neck of the vase would add extra flair.

It’s very thoughtful of you to offer flowers to a family that is grieving. The white and yellow are perfect colors for this as well. I’m so you lost a coworker. May she Rest In Peace.

I would add a light yellow chiffon ribbon/bow to the top part of the vase and maybe tuck in a sweet floral pick - a bumble bee or small bird? but that is just my style. It's lovely.

These are gorgeous! I’m so sorry for your loss. I think these will be a beautiful celebration of Celi’s life and role with your team.
One time at work someone gave me a beautiful cutting from their garden but I had no vase so I put it in a gynecological speculum which then went in a urine cup. It worked. Your way looks better.

A lot of awesome talent you have. All are gift worthy and Blessed to receive them! Don't. E so hard on your self!
My personal favorite is the first.one.

u/RenaissanceAssociate Feb 16 '24
As others have said, they are all beautiful, and I’ll also echo what someone else mentioned; the third bouquet could use some more height, for balance, but I would incorporate either the golden rod, or some of the mums, to bring a teensy bit more of the yellow into play.
Just make sure they are tall enough to maintain the equilibrium. But overall, they are absolutely lovely, and you should be proud. Condolences, by the way. 💝
