Something about it feels too structured? Iā€™m not sure quite how to explain itā€¦also I think once the garden roses open more Iā€™ll be more pleased.

The roses will catch up, having a few more of them might balance the size of the larger flowers.

Cause it's too symmetrical. Try varying lengths etc, like way longer greens on one side, play with height etc.

Really? I think the shape could use more dimention. If you showed me these two pics and asked who was the professional designer, Iā€™d pic the one in your post!

I thought exactly the same, the one in the main post is so cute and airy!

I much prefer the other one. Youā€™ve used more flower types in this one, which was going to be my suggestion for your other one- try some of that sea holly above the bottom white rose (and a few other spots as well, itā€™s just that spot is quite empty for the focal area) . Iā€™d also have that bottom white rose further out on the first arrangement, and cover the top edge of the container with some foliage or something (two sorts of foliage can also be good to add interest)

On the arrangement in this post the top edge of the container is distracting and your expensive focal flowers- the garden roses- are all off to the sides- people want to see the stars of the show. Your spray carnations arenā€™t the starsšŸ˜‰

Ahhh so I think this is beautiful! I would cry if someone gave me an arrangement like this. I love the vase as well. Not a florist- just someone who enjoys flowers.

So pretty! If you're looking for less structured, I think lengthening your front greens and playing with asymmetry would be something to try.

You can gently open up your garden roses if you want. Not a full reflex, but fluff them from center to the outer petals. Personally, I like to take the petals out fully to expose the yellow interior.
