A bride's mom in Charlotte said my bouquets looked too 'store bought'

She told me my work was neat but lacked personality, like it came from a chain. That stung, but she was right. I was using the same three rose types and baby's breath for every wedding. For the last six months, I've forced myself to use at least two local or seasonal flowers in every arrangement, even if it costs a bit more. The textures and colors are way more interesting now. Has anyone else gotten a piece of tough feedback that actually improved their style?

Tough love from clients sharpens your work every time.

Ha, tell that to the guy who wanted his logo to "pop more" for three months straight.
