Flower Enhancement - Colour Correction

With the preservation process, flowers will change from how they originally looked when fresh. Throughout the drying process, flowers can change shape, size, and colour will lighten or darken depending on the type of flower. For example, a bright red rose often changes to a very deep red/ burgundy red.

Colour correcting helps ensure that your flowers maintain their natural pigments while enhancing their overall beauty. By adding this service to your flower preservation, you can ensure that your flowers look as close to their original beauty as possible.

This process involves adjusting and correcting the colours of the flowers to closely match their natural hues. This technique also helps conceal any imperfections or damage that may have occurred before preservation. 

Over time, the colours of your flowers can fade due to exposure to UV light, even when displayed in frames or resin pieces. Opting for colour correction will help ensure the longevity of your preserved piece. 

Colour correcting is especially recommended for white or light-toned flowers, as any damage or imperfections are more noticeable on these hues. Tropical flowers are also highly recommended for colour correction, due to their high water content, which may discolour and turn brown when preserved.

Colour correction is particularly beneficial for resin pieces because it helps maintain the original vibrancy of the flowers and prevents petal transparency. Petal transparency occurs when flowers are damaged prior to preservation, resulting in tiny micro-tears in the petals. These tears allow resin to seep into the petals, causing them to become transparent within the resin. This is quite common with bridal flowers, as the bouquet is often moved around throughout the day during the wedding.
