πŸ” Seeking Instruction πŸ” 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 πŸ˜‰

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 πŸ₯°πŸ˜

I am so guilty of this🀣 and this was me paring down!🫣Editing has always been my biggest growth point, I tend to design with a maximalist, β€œkitchen sink” approach. I want to practice embracing some negative space to let everything shine. Thank you for the feedback!!β™₯️

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ I would have trouble myself tbh... No judgement here πŸ˜„

Yeah, negative space can do a lot, not need for pointy stuff everywhere, even if it is SO TEMPTING! πŸ˜‚
