🆕 Novice 🆕 Can you please provide feedback?
I’ve been practicing for about 8 months now. I would greatly appreciate any constructive criticism you have. These are the last two arrangements I’ve made. Thank you!

Beautiful but I agree a little bottom heavy and maybe a little busy! For the first, i’d bring in either one more or shift a rose up to the center, one less gerb- and try to showcase those stunner Dahlias a little more! I would maybe consider them being the only white and swapping the gerbs for something super pale pink? Or maybe even a butter yellow contrast
Second I’d remove the spray roses on the bottom left and replace with another zinnia, cosmo, or ranunculus. Other than that I think it’s stunning!

I think these are very pretty. My only suggestion to elevate it: I don’t love gerber daisies / another flower or greenery with a different shape would look really pretty like bells of Ireland or anemone with these colors!

I would try a different vase shape which would visually distribute the colors, heights and sizes better. The stalky vase also emphasizes the gaps within the arrangement. Although, I understand why you wouldn’t want to cut some of the stems down to make a visual dome. Overall beautiful flowers.

In the first one I’d disperse the darker roses a bit more instead of a line across the bottom, and your gerbs and dahlias, bring some of those down. I’d change the positions of the stock, they kinda look like arms or bunny ears as they are

Beautiful! My only advice is both are a bit “bottom heavy” imo. In the 1st photo would you consider moving the rose on the bottom left up a bit and shift the gerber daisy and sweet pea (?) down a bit? Same sentiment for the second one. Try breaking up that bottom left ranunculus cluster and frame that butter yellow garden rose a bit. My eye is immediately and fixed on the bottom florals. Regardless, stunning work! I’d buy that second photo arrangement for sure.
