PLEASE READY BEFORE PURCHASING: Thank you for your interest in our CUSTOM PRINTED PHOTOGRAPHY BACKDROPS/FLOORDROPS! 1) Always refer to our original digital image in the listing (with our watermark) to review exactly how the backdrop will print. Do not refer to the 'in use" images from the customers as their sample images may differ. Our custom printed backdrops print exactly how you see the design shown (in the digital image) in our listing. The only variation to the print will be based on the size you order (we go over, sizing in more detail, in the listing further below). 2) When placing orders for *CUSTOM PRINTED* PHOTOGRAPHY BACKDROPS/FLOORDROPS it is CRITICAL that you read all of the details, below, CAREFULLY, before ordering. CUSTOM PRINTED PHOTOGRAPHY/FLOORDROPS are NOT EXCHANGEABLE and NOT RETURNABLE.*** There are NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS POLICY! 3) We specialize in CUSTOM PRINTED PHOTOGRAPHY BACKDROPS or FLOORDROPS. Any "props" shown in the digital image of the design, in our listings, are PRINTED ON THE ACTUAL BACKDROP. We do not sell our props used to make our setups for our backdrops. 4) To learn more about each material we offer for our custom prints please review the listing description below. This will help you decide which material is best for your specific photography needs. Please message us if you have any questions that are not answered below. Thank you! The PPF&B Team -------------------------------------------------------------------------- RECOMMENDATIONS ON SIZE: We often get asked what size is recommended. The average order is typically 5 foot x 7 foot. We suggest taking measurements of your available space to decide what will best work for your particular needs. Click on the drop down above that says "Choose Your Material/Size" to browse all of the sizes and materials we offer for purchase (larger sizes and more materials available by emailing photopropfloors [!at] gmail.com for more info). HOW SIZING WORKS: The drop-down in the listings does *NOT* indicate a height and a width. It only indicates the size of the material you are ordering. The height and width are determined by the orientation of how the design is shown/advertised) in the listing. The concept is very simple and the same exact process as you would use for the photographs you print for your clients. We elaborate on this in detail, below: 1) If the design is shown/advertised, in the listing, in a horizontal/landscape orientation then the design will print horizontal/landscape orientation. If you ordered a horizontal/landscape oriented design in an 8x10 size it would print 8 Foot HIGH by 10 Foot WIDE. 2) If the design is shown/advertised in the listing in a vertically/portrait orientation then the design will print vertical/portrait orientation. If you ordered a vertical/portrait oriented design in an 8x10 size it would print 8 Foot WIDE by 10 Foot HIGH. *If you are unsure if a design is horizontal/landscape or vertical/portrait orientation please email us at photopropfloors [!at] gmail.com, BEFORE ordering, so we can help you. HOW WE CROP OR RE-SIZE THE DESIGNS BASED ON THE SIZE YOU ORDER: Regular designs are typically shown, in each listing, in a 5 foot x 7 foot ratio/size. The design you order will print exactly as you see it displayed in the listing unless you choose to order a larger or smaller size than the 5x7 ratio/illustrated sample. We elaborate on this in detail, below: 1) If you order a larger size than the illustrated 5 x 7 foot design: our design team will stretch the design to fit the width you choose (as long as it does not distort the design) or they will crop it appropriately to fit the larger dimension you selected. 2) If you order a smaller size than the illustrated 5 x 7 foot design: our design team will crop the design to fit the shorter size *OR* where we deem appropriate, the design can be shrunk to fit the smaller size you choose (many designs can easily work in a smaller format when re-sized/shrunken). We strive to make the best decision on how to resize the design to best fit the customer's needs. If you are unsure of what a design will look in another size and you would like to see a proof please email us at photopropfloors [!at] gmail.com, BEFORE ordering. FIGURING OUT THE WIDTH OR HEIGHT OF PLANKS ON A WOOD FLOORDROP: 1) If the boards run vertically/tall: Count the total number of planks illustrated in the design, take the width of the material you will be ordering (ex: 52 inches, 60 inches, 61 inches, 8 foot, etc) and divide the width of the material by the total amount of boards in the design. For example: 8 foot width material (96 inches), divided by 10 planks of vertically-oriented wood in the design, will have planks that are approximately 9.6 inches wide. 2) If the boards run horizontally/wide: Count the total number of planks illustrated in the design, take the height of the material you will be ordering (ex: 5 foot, 6 foot, 7 foot, 8 foot, 9 foot, 10 foot, etc), divide the height of the material by the total amount of boards in the design. For example: 7 foot height material (84 inches), divided by 8 planks of horizontally-orientated wood in the design, will have planks that are approximately 10.5 inches tall. If you are unsure of what the plank size will be and you would like help calculating please email us at photopropfloors [!at] gmail.com, BEFORE ordering. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A LARGER SIZE? We offer additional sizes (up to 10 Foot x 20 Foot) and additional materials (sweatshirt, polyester, non skid floormats, newborn size backdrops, etc) on our website: https://www.backdropsandfloors.com/ If you need a backdrop in a larger size or prefer another material please send us a message and we can direct you to where to find the design on our website. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- MATERIALS OVERVIEW We offer the highest quality backdrops/floordrops on the market in a wide range of materials for you to choose from. The material that you choose will depend on your individual needs. Please note that each material, highlighted below, has its own unique characteristics. Each material will produce a different result based on the material that it is printed on. Please keep this in mind if you are ordering 2 of the same design on 2 different materials that you would like to use together. Two prints on two different materials will not have the same final look. *A more in-depth overview can be found on our site here: https://www.backdropsandfloors.com/materialsoverview) 1) STRETCH FABRIC: *Most Popular of all materials offered for backdrops. *High quality smooth polyester spandex stretch material. *Matte Finish. *Bold and vivid colors. *Virtually wrinkle free. *Can pull taut easily with clamps to get a perfectly smooth appearance. *Pole pockets are available on some sizes.

A flower shop in the heart of the Amsterdam canals, with a beautiful shopfront display.
A note from Jo on this season’s install: The visual display team spends months creatively planning each install, and I love collaborating with them on how the feeling of the season translates into each display. It’s one thing to tell inspiring stories and navigate these themes in our magazine, Magnolia Journal, and another thing entirely […]

20 Favorite flower shops around the world features flower shops in New York, London, Paris, Amsterdam and many more locations.
Dried flowers are a long-lasting alternative to fresh flowers, though here at WildFlora, we love both! We posted a blog about some of our favorites back in the day, but we've since started drying more of our flowers ourselves, so it felt like a good time for an update. Drying flowers at home is super easy. Just bunch them together, tie a string around the stems, hang them upside-down, and bam - instant floral décor! Since we dry flowers in large quantities, we installed a pipe bar with a bunch of S hooks. That way it's easy to add flowers of all sorts and colors whenever we want. If you've just got a few cuttings that maybe you collected from your unknowingly generous neighbors, we also love the simple stick hanger. Just add string to either end of a stick or rod and add the dried flowers, spaced evenly along the stick.
