My sister-in-law said my bouquets look 'too perfect'

She told me she prefers the wildflower bunches from the farmer's market because they feel more 'real'. It made me realize I might be over-trimming and arranging, losing some natural charm. Has anyone else gotten feedback like that and changed their approach?

My cousin said the same about my holiday centerpieces.

I swapped to simple pine cones last year after @jessicapatel's advice and my family loved it.

Oh man, that's rough. But I feel like a cousin's opinion hits different than a stranger's, you know? Like, they've seen all your past attempts and family dinners. Maybe they're just used to your style and wanted something totally new this year. Still, it's your table and your vision that counts in the end.
