Hi all!! 🌸🪷🪸🌾🌿

I’d love some feedback on this (loose) composition before I glue it down to black paper (see second slide for example).

These are my wedding flowers and I’m having SUCH decision anxiety because they are so precious to me!

I’m definitely going for more of a psychedelic vibe. More or less?

Thank you ☮️

Pros:
-The most “earthy” place I’ve ever been
-Insane levels of infrastructure (hyperfixating on tunnels now)
-Even rainy days were gorgeous
-Clean - barely saw any litter!
-Exceptional eye for art/design
-it’s clear that employees are paid fairly and enjoy their jobs
-Feels old & wise, but also insanely contemporary
-Incredibly informative and kind people
-wildflowers EVERYWHERE in July
-love the passion that locals have for keeping their houses/yards looking adorable
-great selection of produce at even smaller grocery stores
-artistry put into even simple meals
-easy for anyone who speaks English
-midnight sun was AMAZING
-I felt so safe & really appreciate the low crime rate

Cons:
-no one-way car rentals without paying the price $$$$ (I understand why, but made it significantly harder on my itinerary)
-felt like a lot of people only made eye contact with my husband when addressing us both. Probably cultural, but wasn’t used to that - lol
-locals weren’t interested in speaking Norwegian with me hahah- I’ve been learning for months!
-my eyes actually were sore from all the natural beauty (half-joking)
-so incredibly hard to leave and fly home ;)

I am already planning my next trip - hopefully in the winter! Thank you for having me. I think if we had to choose one country to represent Earth to aliens, it would be Norway. 🇳🇴 ⛰️ 🎣 ☕️

Easily the most peaceful, idyllic, & serene day of my entire life! ⛰️🐝 🧜🏼‍♀️ We found the most perfect spot in the world, where we explored weird lil maritime nooks 🐡🪸🐚, laid on a bed of wildflowers and grass 🌾🪻🌸, watched bees/birds/clouds ☁️ 🏝️🦤, and felt the cool ocean air literally BREATHE life into my soul 🌬️

My husband was really doing his Viking warrior thing LOL but I literally felt like I was Frodo Baggins fr 🧌☮️🦋🍀 😂

But it was a day deeply embedded in love & companionship…we had so much fun melting into a newlywed puddle of friendship, adventure, and tenderness! 🤍

These are from the first orchid my partner gave me, and I dehydrated the first re-bloom petals, resin casted them, and turned them into wearable art for our wedding day 🤍

Going to wear them on my wedding day!! 🦢✨🤍
