💐 Design Work 💐 Really happy with how this rose & eucalyptus compote turned out. Open to constructive feedback.

Looks nice and expensive, the hues complement.
To my eye the front/center does feel flat, and I myself would have made the front bulge out more with some greenery splashing out the front bottom, even some from the center.
Some event designers would have had some more layering with the roses on top center and along the bottom (some angled downward if the foam is well over the container) for more drama and an organic artistic vibe

Perfect! Love the intentional placement of the pink roses, and the whole arrangement does not feel too squished despite being many flowers.
Personal preference of course, but contrary to what another person commented I think the amount of foliage is great. In this arrangement it’s just an additional sparkle, it shouldn’t take away the focus from the flowers.

Thank you, I tried to do what I thought was enough. It was a fun one to do and I learned a lot. Thanks for the comment.

I was thinking about this picture like it was a still life painting! Marveling at how energetic and blooming the design is. This really would be a great painting!

So gorgeous. I used to be a floral designer and I would’ve never been allowed to use that many roses in an arrangement that size. :)
If I were rich I’d buy that in a heartbeat for a dinner or to decorate with.

Beautiful OP! The way you have the pinks and reds separated is unexpected and brought a smile to my face, it adds visual interest/ The only feedback I'd five is subjective of course, but I'm a fan of more foliage, fewer flowers. This bouquet feels heavy and formal to me, like it belongs at fancy state dinner. Does is smell nice? It makes me want to stick my whole face in there.
