It's possibly a bit late in the year to get anything like a meadow from seeds. You could try getting some wildflower plugs from someone like Landlife Wildflowers - not cheap at about a £1 a plug. Alternatively, you could get some wildflower turf (but again don't know if it's the right time of year).
Planting some yellow rattle would weaken the grass so you get more luck next year...

I got given a wild flower bomb thing at a wedding, chucked it out the window and have now been plagued by wild geraniums for ever. Best not to over think it, throw some seeds around, trust nature.

I'm not sure what they used but my mum and step dad have a wild flower meadow in their garden. They set it up probably 7 or 8 years ago and it's only in the last 3 that it's started to come in properly. It looks amazing though, completely different every year!

Please try and find wildflower seeds that are local to the country you live in. Often there may be cheap imported wildflower seeds but they may bring invasive species or not be as much support to the local wildlife.

Fwiw when I moved in did exactly that and got a great show for a couple years before deciding what to do with the garden. I was gifted some seeds, think they were National Trust but I only see novelty bombs in their online shop now.

Where are you? Someone in the gardening thread will probably offer you spares

Best wildflower seeds for getting the garden looking more like a meadow and less like we just moved in and cut everything down?
