Hit 500 wedding bouquets last week and I don't get the hype about this number

Everyone keeps saying how hitting 500 bouquets is this huge milestone but honestly it just felt like another Tuesday to me. I did a huge wedding at the Ritz in Boston and cranked out 30 bouquets that day alone including one for the maid of honor that took forever. The number doesn't mean much if the designs are sloppy or the flowers are wilting by noon. Has anyone else felt like these milestone counts are overrated compared to actually nailing the craft?

Yeah that actually changed my mind. Quality beats any number.

Tbh that line about "the number doesn't mean much if the designs are sloppy" hit me hard. I've seen so many people brag about their numbers but the actual arrangements looked rushed and messy. You're right that nailing the craft is way more important than keeping a tally.

How do you even measure quality when every bride thinks their bouquet is the best one you've ever done?
