As florists, you cherish the vibrant colors of the beautiful blooms you work with. However, there are times when even the prettiest flowers need a little help or a touch of hue to meet customer demands or enhance your creative design.
When to Use Color Enhancing
Color Customization: Floral sprays allow florists to customize flower colors, making it possible to match specific colors or unique, on-trend hues that may not be available naturally.
Color Enhancing Techniques
Use floral sprays on a white or cream-colored blossom to change their hue. Control the color intensity by applying a light mist for a soft shade or deepening the color with repeated misting.
Similar to mixing paint, the principles of color combinations apply here as well. Select a floral spray and a flower whose colors are near each other on the color wheel. Use the floral spray as the deeper of the two colors, spraying the blossom to achieve a harmonious hue. Deepen the color with additional mists. For a monochromatic color enhancement, brighten pale colored flowers with a misting of floral spray in the same hue as the blossom.
When mixing colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel, you can create rich brown hues. While not a traditional approach, these tones can be effective for the right situation, such as autumnal designs or rustic themes.
Color Combinations
Incorporating color-enhancing techniques into your floral designs opens up a world of possibilities. Whether you're meeting a client's specific color needs, adapting blooms to seasonal trends, or simply exploring your artistic flair, these techniques offer endless opportunities to elevate your creations. With a little creativity and the right tools, you can transform any arrangement into a masterpiece that exceeds expectations. So, don't hesitate to reach for that floral spray and let your imagination guide you in bringing creativity and vibrant color to your designs.
