They are lovely, great new user name, but maybe would get more proffesional photos, or try in different light. I think the photos could look so much better.One day I might be more organised...........

I agree about the photos. They are a bit dark.
You could put a big piece of plain card behind bent round to go underneath the object and big enough to extend beyond the photo edge.Thats how the photographer at work used to take his display photos.Light from both sides to eliminate shadows. Your items are very good value I think .0 -

It's a really good business idea. They look lovely, and they're great for newborn baby gifts - pretty and practical.
I do agree that the photography could be improved a little though - woodchip wallpaper is perhaps not the best background! Culpepper has the right idea, and if you have a white bath, you can do the cheats' version! Photograph your bouquet in the (otherwise empty) bath and you'll get a plain background and nice even lighting, since the bath will act as a big reflector.
The bit where you've said "We regret we are unable to offer refunds" might look a bit more professional if you add the standard "Your statutory rights are not affected" or "This does not affect your statutory rights" bit, as often seen in shops and other marketplaces.0 -
Just an idea-
could you make up 'new mums bouquets' or a 'get well bouquet' for someone in hospital -
Maybe a basket with a small towel and a couple of flannels and A toilet bag with a nice smelling soap and body spray.
I was in hospital for 6 weeks and everyone got me flowers, a soft toy or a book and i would have loved something different like that
