I don't really have a suggestion because I never did a flower bouquet. I just had to say that if that is your FI holding the bouquet.. he must really love you! My guy would laugh in my face haha

I think you have too many types of flowers and too many colors.

The daisies and carnations are really full, the roses are really compact, and the snapdragons are really tall (and look droopy).

For initial DIYs I would suggest keeping it simple.  You've got too many types of flowers and too many different colors.

Choose the flower you like most or is easiest to work with (I vote for roses).

Arrange them in a vase the way you want, then scoop them up all at once and adjust heights as necessary.

If you look at other bouquets, the tops of the flowers are all really even or only slightly higher or lower that others- you have roses that are several inches higher or lower- I think that's also part of the problem.

Once you have the rose only bouquet done, add in a second type of flower.  I would suggest the statice (the little purple flowers).  Nestle them in between the roses only very slightly sticking above the height of the roses.

I think the varying heights of the flowers is part of the problem. If you keep them more even, they will push each other out and make the bouquet fuller.

Also- get yourself some floral wire.  Wrap it tightly around a single rose stem a couple of times as an anchor.  Then add the rose back to the bunch and wrap the wire tightly around the entire bouquet-down its entire length leaving an inch at the bottom not wrapped.  Then use your ribbon to cover all the wire.  You can secure the ribbon with some pearl pins.

Try out some of the suggestions and repost pictures so we can see how you make out!

Good luck!
