That's much better than I managed, yours pretty much looks like one of the sales pictures!
How did you prep before you put the seed down? The commercial contractors seem to favour glyphosate the shit out of an area so nothing else is growing before they seed which works but is obviously not great environmentally.

I just turned over the lawn which was there before, and that's all. To seed I mixed all the seed into a sand/topsoil mix, and then spread that rather than just putting the seed down.

I grew a few patches of wildflowers last year from seed, via meadowmania.co.uk, and they came out fine. Grew massive though….
Only maintenance was strimming them after the flowers were done. Time will tell if the patches regrow this year.
