Why Your Flowers Don't Look Like the Picture - Part 2

A lot of holiday entertaining takes place around the dining room table, so one of the most popular floral design types for Christmas is the centerpiece. A centerpiece is defined as:

Something in a central position, especially a decorative object or arrangement placed at the center of a table.

But there's an issue with some of the centerpiece photos on 1800Flowers.com - if local florists who make these orders follow the recipes provided by 1-800-Flowers, the guests seated on one side of your table will see this:

And the friends and family seated on the other side of the table may see something like this:

It will take a whole lot more than "Holiday Magic" to spread the recipe of 8 roses and 12 carnations into the pave' style 12" X 12" design promised by 1-800-Flowers.com to get it to look like the picture.

We attempted to recreate this design as a centerpiece using the prescribed ingredients and came up with this:

Does the photo appear as abundant and full as the picture from 1800Flowers.com?  You be the judge.
