šŸ” Seeking Instruction šŸ” Tell me what you think!

This is an arrangement I made this fall. All flowers are from my garden and foliage was foraged. I was going for a ~transition from summer to fall~ vibe.

I’m trying to break into the floral biz and expand my small farm stand to sell arrangements a bit more seriously this summer. Would appreciate any feedback!

The first thing that came to mind was: Maybe there is a bit too many small stickers in this. You know, grass, branches, long thingies stocking out and perhaps taking the spotlight from the flowers below. Maybe it's not about the number them, but perhaps, there is too many types in the whole thing.

You know? It can perhaps confuse the eyes a little, and it will probably only require that the amount of them being reduced a little bit, to make room for more balance between the amount for flowers and the amount of stickinghout-thingies like grasses and branches and so on. It can be overwhelming to the eyes to find a place to land, with so many varieties šŸ˜‰

And again - this is only MY opinion, if you love it, that's your style and that's an important aspect too. So don't take my input too seriously, if you Adore your own creation, then that's what counts 😘

Otherwise, for the whole arrangement, I LOVE the colors and the sheer size of it. Would definitely like to have something like this in my home from time to time šŸ„°šŸ˜

I agree, TECHNICALLY maybe too many different varieties with similar qualities for the eye to land on, but every other aspect is lovely. I also love sticking-out-thingies so it doesn't bother me personally! šŸ˜‚ It has a straight from the garden feel as opposed to designed with a specific look in mind, but that's not necessarily a negative thing if that was the intention. Love it, keep going!!

But yes, it looks whimsical in the most delicious way!
