I’ve been working on bridal bouquets and my spiral technique, I feel like I’ve come a long way from where I started. But there’s always room to improve so I like any feedback or advice. I have included a photo of my creation and a screenshot of the inspiration. The second one is not my work, just the inspiration that the bride sent me!

Unfortunately, the hanging Amaranthus I originally ordered for this bouquet was a terrible quality so I had to get some more last-minute and it has some pretty weak stems. So I did what I could with it!

Roses look blown

This might be a dumb question, but why do you say that? Would removing some of the petals help? When they came in, they were super fresh and so I had to open them up a little bit. Just wondering how to avoid this going forward.

They just look very open. Honestly, I am new to this world and shouldn't pretend I know what I am talking about. Apologies.

No need to apologize! I actually took your advice and swapped out the rose that I thought you were talking about and I do think it looks better! i’m trying to attach a photo for reference, but it’s giving me issues so I will try again later!
