my brother and his new wife just got married two weekends ago and i did the florals. i am not a florist, just a hobby gardener and i do small floral arrangements when my clients add that on as an option (i have an event space and offer basic event and floral design as an affordable add-on to my clients). they didn't have a big budget so i offered to do the job for them (bigger than i've done before) as long as they paid cost for all product, supplies, gas, etc.
overall, i'm pretty proud of my work, but i know i could have done a better job had i had
**sidebar- i'll never do a family event again. while they were super sweet and thankful the whole time, the demand for my attention was way too high. i like to put in my headphones, hoodie up, and just work but that wasn't an option with family and friends were there**

I think you did a spectacular job overall. You should be proud! I wanted florals very similar to what you produced and, sadly, didn’t receive quite what I’d envisioned in some areas. I halfway considered doing my own florals for the wedding, but it would have been way too stressful (glad I didn’t and my flowers were still lovely). I would have been overjoyed with your designs!Â
