HELP I hate my centerpieces

I hate my centerpieces, FH was pressuring me because he doesnt like it when i nit pick things. So he said it was fine and we walked out. Now as I look at the pictures I HATE IT! I emailed my florist and asked if we can change it. Can you help me find Tall fall-ish looking CPs? I'm trying to go with red, green, orange and yellow. I feel like the sample one was too dark and it looked like it should have been in a funeral. please HELP!

Actually I like it....maybe just get ride of the sunflower, and instead of the long dark flowers, you can use a lighter colored filler? What did your florist say?

It is very pretty and encompasses all of the colors you mentioned. Perhaps add more yello to lighten it up ?

Re: HELP I hate my centerpieces

I dont think its horrible I think either take out the sunflower or add some more yellow, bc the sunflower looks like it doesnt belong there

I have a few pictures I found online for some fall centerpieces, I will post them for you

Re: HELP I hate my centerpieces

I actually like it a lot. It's very full and very pretty! What would you like to change? What don't you like about it?

Re: HELP I hate my centerpieces

maybe tell them to take out some of the green, unless you the look. it's really just another dark color and doesn't add anything. maybe a tighter round of the flowers will look more colorful.

Re: HELP I hate my centerpieces

i think its the dark dark roses and the darkness of the sunflowers that add to that feeling, maybe do more oranges and reds and less DARK roses?

i love your CPs! the exact brightness I wanted! I think I need to add a lighter green to it, your hydrangias really make it pop

I think its the sunflower that is throwing me off. I'm still waiting for and email from my florist... hopefully he gets back to me soon.

Re: HELP I hate my centerpieces

maybe if you had them add in more of the roses and less green, it would look more fallish and be more what your looking for?

ETA: add more of the lighter roses and just keep a few dark roses.

Thats what I requested! I'm glad you agree!

Re: HELP I hate my centerpieces

I think the dark red roses are too dark, get brighter reds, oranges, and yellows instead.
