I'm trying to make wreaths for my BM but they're not going so well. Could i get some honest opinions?

    I'm not sure of I'm a fan of the brown.... if you are set on it, maybe wrap some of the lace around to tidy the look up some.

    Maybe a thinner wreath base? From the picture it looks very thick like it would be difficult/awkward to carry....

    I think you need more flowers or lace on them to make them look fuller. I'd say at least 1/3 of the grapevine needs to be completely covered by stuff. Also, I'm not sure what's going on with the pearls here...are they meant to be just hanging off?

    Here's a couple of examples from etsy. They have a lot more going on and look more finished than what you posted.

    Way more flowers and I also think you should get rid of the pearls

    I'd get a thinner wreath base to start. You also need more greenery, more flowers, try to cover more of the wreath (aim for around 40% coverage) and ditch the pearls. I'm also not a fan of long flower, berry things. Good luck.

    I think the base needs to be much thinner and much more greenery and florals to balance it all out.

    I think you should scrap them and just do bouquets. It looks awkward in that photo to me.

    I don't care for this at all. Need way more flowers or something to take away from the brown wreath.

    I think this could be very different and pretty. I think you need more flowers & greenery to make the focus the floral part and less the brown wreath part. I would definitely get rid of the pearls. I would get rid of the brown and go something thinner to put the flowers around like attached.

    Your wreaths are much too thick. I think your BMs would have a lot of trouble carrying those so they would look awkward. Start with thinner base and do a ton of greenery. Then add in flowers
