Colour Correction
Sometimes, the natural drying process can lead to significant discolouration, especially in certain flower types (like reds turning dark purple or whites/creams developing a noticeable yellow or brown tint). If you wish to revive the colours of your blooms, I offer a specialised colour correction service.

How It Works
Airbrush Precision: Multiple, thin layers of professional airbrush paint are applied to the individual petals and foliage. This process is time-consuming as the colour dries and is built up gradually.
Vibrant Finish: This technique is highly effective at bringing vibrancy back to discoloured areas. Critically, it also ensures the flowers are fully opaque, eliminating any potential translucent or "wet look" patches that can occur when clear resin cures around blooms.
A New Journey, Not a a Replica: It is important to note that painted flowers will have a different appearance than their original state. The colours are unlikely to be an exact match to the original shades and tend to be more flat compared to dried or fresh blooms.
Time & Complexity: This is a highly labour-intensive service. Flowers such as anthuriums, take significantly longer than more straightforward blooms like roses.
Pricing
Pricing for colour correction is based on the complexity and volume of the flowers required. I can provide a specific quote during the design consultation after your flowers are dried.
Standard Rate: Starting from £50 per colour required.
Example (Roses): A guide price is typically £50 for up to 5 standard-sized roses.
