Designed by the bride

Has anyone seen this website?

I created a bouquet and it looked like a 2 dimensional mess. I hope no one uses this then brings me the pic.

I kind of wish I had something like this for at the store. The one thing is that the flowers were out of proportion of one another, I didn't see a resize tool for individual blooms. Is there a program like this to download?

The plus and minus are resize tools, I couldn't find how to get things to tuck behind, kind of user difficult...although I am sure a 23 year old would pick it up much quicker than this 38 year old...

The Bride and Bloom had a similar online tool. I'm not sure if it's still available on their site. I haven't looked in a while.

There was another site like this that wasn't has sleek and I can't remeber the name of it now, but I think it is kind of cool. It, at least gives the bride some kind of idea of the pallet they want to work with and what the names of the flowers are.
You wouldn't believe how many people walk into my shop and point at lilies and say how much they love orchids.

It's at least a starting point so brides can see how colors look together. I've done my own versions of these for years for brides and they seem to appreciate being able to visualize it. I don't always have the exact flowers in stock and am not willing to just go buy them to show how they'd look. If they feel like purchasing samples, that's another story.

Kind of neat... but I suck... (see attached image) it's not as easy as it looks... but I only spent 1 minutes on it...

Odd that it's a proxied site... just launched in May '09.....

This idea was something I thought about years ago I still have all the details but I was quotated about £10,000 minimum 10years ago to get it underway. I wanted to market it to the florist industry itself. I love it. you start at the back and work your way forward. Dead simple which is great. I'm going to put this on my favorites so when I want to draw an idea for a bride/customer it will save me hours of work. It is basic but the potential is fantastic. Love it.

not a bad tool for centerpieces. Needs stems though!

I kinda liked it... You can resize and rotate so that the flowers dont look flat. You just have to keep stacking the flowers on top of each other so that it does not look 2 dimensional.. I am mad at it cuz I saved mine - but I dont know where the heck it is! If I am able I will find and post it.

PS BOSS - No coment on what that looks like?????

 

[makescents]

Okay.. So now I really like this site -

You have to stack the flowers, like you would a regular bouquet... base flowers such as hydrangea and roses first, then gerbs lilies and then smaller flowers.. rotate them to look like they are coming out of the center.. just like you would an actual arrangement.

I love it! Thanks! FUN - FUN!

Your bouquets look great Tammie! Good job!

I had a bride bring me a pic from a site like this, but she had painted the callas purple, really purple. Some of you may remember my posting about making this purple calla bouquet last October - it was made from her specs from a site like this. I didn't mind at all - she got exactly what she wanted.

This tool is better - resizing, rotating. Could actually be very handy.

 

[shannonlovesflowers]

I love it!

I was just playing around with it, was a lot of fun..

 

[SpringCity]

Me too! I have a Sept. bride who I wanted to make a bouquet example for, and also a centerpiece to show that there will be greenery and it won't be a solid mass of flowers. This is a great tool!

 

[TGDragonfly]

I like this too. It has potential. I am sad though that I might have to retire my paper book and totally awesome box of 500 Crayolas.

Glad to see something like this.....remember the old 'colorforms' vinyl sticker toys?

If I could ever find it, they had one that was made specifically for wedding and brides......different blooms, stems and foliage that you could assemble your own bouquet.

 

[Knife's Wife]

I think the site has potential. I did accidentally place flowers behind others when I was playing. Went back an threw this one together to try to figure out how I did it. Now i can't seem to get how I did it.

Here is my quick attempt.



Hey Mark, where are your stems?

 

[RWK]

Here are my renditions.....a centerpeice ( sans stems ) and a bride's bouquet

Here's one I did--took about 5 minutes. The site has potential.
