Wedding Blog » Brides http://www.sarahsflowers.co.uk/blog Blog for leading UK distributor of artificial wedding flowers Mon, 12 Jul 2010 12:46:33 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 en hourly 1 360° Rotating Pictures http://www.sarahsflowers.co.uk/blog/2009/12/360%c2%b0-rotating-pictures/ http://www.sarahsflowers.co.uk/blog/2009/12/360%c2%b0-rotating-pictures/#comments Tue, 01 Dec 2009 11:11:36 +0000 JasonRead http://www.sarahsflowers.co.uk/blog/?p=209 This is an idea we have had for a while now but the technical problems to get it to work took a while for us to overcome.
Because we are an internet based company and don`t as yet have a shop or showroom to view our wedding flowers, we want to give our customers the best opportunity to view the flowers and accessories that we can, and taking this one step further thought it would be a wonderful idea if people viewing the website could look at an image then using the mouse rotate the picture to look all the way around it.
It takes around 30 minutes to get from taking the first picture to viewing the finished 360° rotation picture on the website and uses a program called Adobe flash to run which most PC’s will have anyway.
As it is a time consuming project and everything is done in house at Sarah’s flowers i will try my best to get as many products done as i can but it will be an ongoing project for us as we now have over 3000 products on the website.
We hope you enjoy the new way to view our wedding flowers here at Sarah’s Flowers Ltd
Below are a couple of examples to get you started just click on the link and then select “Watch the 360°” link in the product listing.

Just wanted to say thank you again for the beautiful flowers you made for me.
We got married on 12 May 2009 at St Paul’s Chapel, Lindos, Rhodes.
The flowers were perfect and travelled really well.
No-one could believe that they were not real.
The petals on the gerbaras moved in the breeze, which made them look authentic.
I found your advert in Y&YW magazine and it was one of my best wedding finds. I truly love my flowers and whats more I get to keep them forever!
I use the Y&YW forums and have mentioned your fantastic work on there quite a few times now.
I have had lots of people ask me where I got my flowers from and I have sent them all to your website.
As promised a few of photos for you.

Many thanks
Sarah Wilkinson
