A bride in Denver told me my bouquets looked like funeral sprays
She said the all-white roses and heavy greens felt too stiff and somber for a summer wedding. I started adding at least two pops of color, like peach ranunculus or purple stock, to every bridal order. Has anyone else gotten blunt feedback that actually improved their designs?
Honestly, that kind of blunt feedback can sting, but it sounds like you handled it perfectly. Like @dakota_patel98 said, turning it into a change is the best move. Adding those color pops probably makes the whole design feel more alive and less, well, sad. It's a good reminder that what looks elegant to us might just feel heavy to someone else.
Ever think about how the room's lighting changes how colors feel? Like a "sad" gray in a dark office might look totally different, almost warm, in a bright sunroom. Maybe the feedback was partly about the space itself, not just the swatch.
