Flower Colour Correction and Enhancement

Real flowers naturally change during drying and preservation. Depending on the flower variety, age, and condition, changes may include:

• colours becoming lighter or darker;

• white flowers becoming cream or ivory;

• fading, browning, or discoloration;

• shrinking, curling, or petal movement;

• changes in texture; and

• increased transparency in some petals.

For example, a bright red rose may dry to a deeper red or burgundy shade. These changes are expected characteristics of preserving natural flowers and are not faults by themselves.

What Is Flower Colour Correction?

Flower colour correction is an optional artistic enhancement service designed to improve or balance the appearance of selected preserved flowers.

Colour may be carefully applied to:

• enhance faded areas;

• reduce the appearance of browning or discoloration;

• improve colour consistency;

• soften the appearance of visible damage; or

• restore some vibrancy lost during drying.

Colour correction is completed by hand in our signature artistic style. It does not return flowers to their original fresh condition or guarantee an exact colour match to the fresh bouquet, photographs, or digital displays.

Which Flowers Benefit Most?

Colour correction may be particularly helpful for:

• white and light-colored flowers, where browning or damage may be more noticeable;

• tropical flowers, which can contain higher moisture levels and may discolour more significantly;

• flowers that arrive bruised, aged, or damaged; and

• flowers that experience noticeable fading during drying.

The suitability and expected result depend on the flower variety, condition and chosen artwork.

Colour Correction for Resin Artwork

Some flowers develop transparent areas when cast in resin. This can occur when resin enters tiny tears or damaged areas within the petals. These small areas of damage may not be visible before casting and are common in bridal bouquets that have been carried and handled throughout the wedding day.

Colour correction may help reduce the appearance of some transparency, discoloration, or petal damage. However, it cannot always prevent or completely conceal transparency, bubbles, texture changes, or other natural and handmade characteristics of resin artwork.

How We Select Flowers for Colour Correction

Colour correction does not necessarily mean that every flower in the bouquet will be treated.

We prioritise flowers that:

• have visible damage or discoloration;

• have changed significantly during drying;

• are likely to benefit from enhancement; or

• are visually important to the overall artwork.

The flowers selected and the amount of colour correction applied are determined using our professional judgment and signature artistic style.

Natural Ageing Will Still Occur

Colour correction may improve the immediate appearance of selected flowers and help maintain visual vibrancy, but it cannot stop natural ageing.

Preserved flowers and resin may continue to fade, change colour or discolour over time, particularly when exposed to UV light, heat or humidity. Colour correction does not guarantee the future colour, condition or lifespan of the artwork.

To help protect your finished piece, display it indoors and away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, humidity and moisture.

Every bouquet and preserved artwork will remain unique. Nothing on this page excludes, restricts, or modifies your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
