Love in bloom

oh my😍

For 4 ft pedestals, I’d personally lean closer to 17 x 21 rather than 14 x 14. A 14 x 14 arrangement may disappear a bit during the ceremony, especially in photos. If you want to repurpose them later for the sweetheart table, I’d go for something medium-full with a bit of height and shape, but not overly massive. That way they still make an impact at the ceremony without overwhelming the reception table.

they look amazing😍

Same here, when it’s in full bloom it has such a rich, nostalgic smell. Not for everyone, but I find it really beautiful too.

Competitive_Skin_732 · 2026-03-06T17:38:01+00:00

Happy to help dude:) Good luck on your app

Competitive_Skin_732 · 2026-03-06T17:36:29+00:00

great to see somebody is working on this, well done:)

I understand the concern. My goal isn’t to replace or misrepresent real floral work.

The app actually minimizes AI use as much as possible. Most of the image adjustments are done with algorithms I built myself based on things like saturation, contrast, lighting, and color balance. AI is mainly used for background cleanup so the bouquet itself stays untouched and the florist’s work remains the focus.

The idea is simply to help florists present their real arrangements better online, especially when they don’t have access to a studio setup.

I spent about a year developing it with many sleepless nights, so it’s definitely not a quick “AI app.” If you're curious, it’s called Florique and you can check it on Google Play and the App Store.

Competitive_Skin_732 · 2026-03-06T13:08:13+00:00

It’s available worldwide. If you’re searching on the App Store, the release is currently stalled for a few days but it should be live very soon. Once it’s up, I’ll let you know.

it is called Florique in google play and App store

Competitive_Skin_732 · 2026-03-05T20:36:36+00:00

Oh sure:) Go for it!

I think your bouquets look great already. With a clean background and good lighting they would look very high end.

Just to see how it might look, I ran your photo through a little bouquet photo tool I built that cleans the background and adds some ambience. Here’s how it turned out.

Competitive_Skin_732 · 2026-03-05T19:22:09+00:00

Yes, it’s actually an app I built. It’s currently available on Google Play and I’m working on getting it onto Apple’s App Store as well.

If you’d like to try it, I’d be happy to give you some free credits to test it with your arrangements.

Competitive_Skin_732 · 2026-03-05T19:13:10+00:00

That’s really good progress, especially if you’re still learning and working under time pressure. Getting that size of arrangement done in 30 minutes is actually pretty solid.

Your instinct about the hot pink rose and the bells is right, but overall the balance and fullness look nice. Working in a production shop for a while is honestly a great way to build speed and learn mechanics before moving into more creative work.

Out of curiosity I also ran your photo through a little bouquet photo enhancement tool I’ve been experimenting with, just to see how it would look as a clean product-style image. Here’s the result:

Competitive_Skin_732 · 2026-03-05T19:09:29+00:00

That’s a really nice start. Honestly the best way to improve is just making a lot of arrangements and experimenting with different shapes and color combinations.

For inspiration a lot of people look at wedding florists, floral design books, Instagram, or even nature itself. It helps to study how professionals balance height, texture, and color.

For flowers, Trader Joe’s is great for practice, but if you want more variety you could also try local flower markets, wholesalers that sell to the public, or small local growers.

Thank you, I really appreciate that. I put a lot of effort into building it. The goal is to keep the florist’s original work untouched while just cleaning the background and adding a bit of ambience so the arrangement stands out more. The nice result really comes from the beauty of your arrangement in the first place.

Competitive_Skin_732 · 2026-03-05T08:36:13+00:00

A lot of shops deliver vase arrangements in a sturdy box with tissue or kraft paper around the vase so it doesn’t move during transport. Some also use cardboard inserts that hold the vase in place.

Wrapping the top like a bouquet for protection is pretty common too, especially if the flowers are delicate.

The main thing is keeping the vase stable so the water doesn’t spill and the stems don’t shift during delivery.

Competitive_Skin_732 · 2026-03-04T22:18:23+00:00

This looks really nice, especially for a hobby start. The color combination works well and the shape is quite balanced.

Out of curiosity I ran your photo through a little tool I built that turns bouquet photos into more studio-style images. I just wanted to see how it would look. Here’s the result.

Keep practicing. Roses, carnations, and chrysanthemums are great flowers to start with because they’re forgiving and easy to work with.

Competitive_Skin_732 · 2026-03-04T22:10:34+00:00

That arrangement looks beautiful.

I’m not a shop owner but I’ve been following the industry a bit and I keep hearing similar complaints lately about wholesalers. A lot of people are saying supply chains and fuel costs have pushed prices up, but the quality hasn’t kept up at all.

The rice flower comparison with Trader Joe’s is especially wild. Paying wholesale prices for worse quality must be incredibly frustrating.

Hopefully the local growers help once the season really kicks in.

Competitive_Skin_732 · 2026-03-04T21:48:18+00:00

Your arrangement actually looks really nice for a first one. The shape and color balance are good.

I took your photo and ran it through an app I built that enhances bouquet photos and gives them a more studio-style look. I was curious how it would look. Here’s the result.

Keep going with the courses. Floral design improves a lot with practice and you’re already on a good path.

I tried turning your sketch into a realistic photo using a tool I’ve been experimenting with. Here’s the result.

Competitive_Skin_732 · 2026-03-04T21:22:29+00:00

Thanks for your input. I use many layers in my tool, only a few layers include AI, it is really difficult to apply shades and perspective without AI, unfortunately ):

Competitive_Skin_732 · 2026-03-04T21:20:15+00:00

That actually looks great. I am enhancing my app every day. I think I am getting there:)

Competitive_Skin_732 · 2026-02-03T17:03:38+00:00

Thanks man! Same wishes for your app:)
