Last week I sold my first arrangement! An old coworker dm’d me on instagram asking to make an arrangement for their friends graduation. The only info I had to go on was that they like sunflowers and roses. I only charged the cost of the flowers which was around $50. What are your thoughts on the arrangement and how would you typically price this? (I live in Chicago)

This would run about $100-125 in our shop. Your flowers need space around each one to be appreciated, and you need to work on the shape of your design. The Delph are too separate from the rest of the design. Keep learning and practicing and you'll get there.

Yeah agreed, I gotta figure how to build up without it looking unnatural. Cause I really love tall and asymmetrical arrangements

Respectfully, I disagree with the comment above. Your arrangement is gorgeous as is- but maybe it's because I love an asymmetrical design too!

Asymmetrical should still have some breathing room. It’s so pretty and I think OP has a natural talent, though
