What a lovely christmasy fan shape you have created!
Like the cleaness of the vertical lines and the clear dominance of the horisontal ones.
Also good rytm and placement off the bigger shapes.
To take it one level more, try add some horizontal lines above and around the bigger flower heads as well!

Yes, this is a good horizontal dominated line design built on vertical structure.
I think in your social media post of this design, you mentioned that you built an arching structure and designed the flowers into it.
You created a well-shaped structure... like the white stick garland across the top of the arc along with the white sticks... they make intricate slots for placement of flower heads, this is a great idea.
Like the combination of botanicals you selected for a little holiday touch... the pine, cones, etc.
A great job on this fan shaped hand-tied bouquet!! xxx
