Content & Copyright Terms
1. Introduction
Hi! Welcome to the creative world of Fleur de Rin. This document explains how we handle the beautiful content we create and capture, from our bespoke floral designs to the snapshots of our work in action. As a florist dedicated to creating romantic, luxury experiences for our couples, our creative output is the heart of what we do. This document outlines who owns this work, how it can be shared, and how we protect the privacy of everyone involved.
2. Ownership of Work
All creative work produced by Fleur de Rin - including but not limited to floral arrangements, bouquet designs, installation concepts, sketches, mood boards, and website copy - remains the intellectual property of Rin (trading as Fleur de Rin) under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. While you have the right to enjoy and display the physical flowers provided for your event, the underlying creative design and any digital representations of it belong to us.
3. Permission and Consent
We love sharing the joy of what we create! By working with Fleur de Rin, you acknowledge that we may capture photographs or videos of our floral work at your venue. We will always seek to ensure that our use of this content respects your day. Where images or videos include identifiable people (such as the couple, guests, or other suppliers), we rely on the permissions granted in our booking process or via consent forms. Basically, we ask you first!
4. Permitted Use
We use our content to inspire future couples and showcase our "quiet luxury" aesthetic. Fleur de Rin is permitted to use images and videos of our work on:
* The Fleur de Rin website and digital galleries.
* Social media platforms including Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.
* Email marketing and digital brochures.
* Submissions to wedding blogs, magazines, and industry awards.
* Portfolio displays for consultations.
For couples and collaborating suppliers (like photographers or venues), you are warmly encouraged to share images featuring our florals on social media, provided that the credit requirements in Section 6 are met.
5. Editing, Cropping and Filtering
To maintain the calm, premium, and romantic aesthetic of the Fleur de Rin brand, we ask that our content is not heavily altered.
Suppliers and Venues: Please do not apply heavy filters or presets that change the natural colours of the flowers or the intended mood of our design.
Cropping: Minor cropping for social media layout (e.g., 4:5 ratio for Instagram) is perfectly fine, provided it doesn't remove our credit or misrepresent the scale of the design.
6. Credit Requirements
Sharing is wonderful, but credit is vital for small creative businesses. Whenever our work is featured online or in print by clients or collaborators, please tag and credit us clearly.
Preferred Credit Format: Fleur de Rin
Social Media: Please tag @fleur.de.rin in the caption and on the image itself.
Blogs/Press: Direct links to the Fleur de Rin website are required.
7. Paid Advertising and Press Submissions
Fleur de Rin may occasionally use images of our floral designs in paid social media advertisements or printed marketing materials. If we wish to submit a "Real Wedding" featuring your identifiable images to a major blog or magazine, we will get in touch with you first to ensure you are happy with the feature.
8. Withdrawal of Permission
We want you to feel completely comfortable. Consent for the use of your identifiable likeness is ongoing, but you have the right to withdraw it at any time.
To withdraw consent, please email shirin@fleur-de-rin.co.uk.
Once withdrawn, we will remove the content from our website and social media channels within 30 days.
Please note that we cannot recall physical printed materials (like brochures) already in circulation or "stop" content already published by third-party magazines or blogs before the withdrawal.
9. Privacy and Identifiable People
We take data protection seriously. Any personal data appearing in our content is handled in line with the UK GDPR and our Privacy Policy. We aim to focus our content on the floral artistry, but where people are visible, we ensure it is done respectfully. You can view our full policy here: Privacy Policy. If you have concerns about an image where you are identifiable, please contact us at the email address below.
10. Children's Images
The safety and privacy of little ones are a priority. We will not publish images where a child’s face is clearly identifiable without the explicit written permission of a parent or legal guardian. No identifying information (such as names or school details) will ever be published alongside images of children. Consent for children's images can be withdrawn at any time.
11. Sensitive Personal Information
We value the diverse stories of our couples. If your wedding involves sensitive information (such as specific religious rites, health-related accessibility needs, or protected characteristics), we will never highlight or publish this information as part of our marketing content without your express, informed consent.
12. Testimonials and Reviews
Your kind words mean the world to us! When you send us a thank-you note or leave a review:
* We may share your testimonial on our website and social media.
* We may edit testimonials for length or clarity (without changing the meaning).
* We will usually only use your first names and the wedding Month/Year to protect your privacy unless you agree otherwise.
13. Styled Shoots and Supplier Collaborations
For styled shoots and collaborations:
* All contributing suppliers must be credited in every post/feature.
* Content should not be shared until the agreed "launch" or "embargo" date (often set by a photographer or lead organiser).
* If a dispute arises regarding credit or usage, all parties agree to try and resolve this in a friendly, professional manner before taking further action.
14. Prohibited Use
To protect the Fleur de Rin brand, the following are strictly prohibited:
* Using images of our work for commercial gain (e.g., selling them to a stock photo site or using them to sell unrelated products) without a specific licence.
* Removing watermarks or metadata from our digital files.
* Using our content in AI or machine-learning training datasets.
* Using our content in a way that is modernly disparaging or misrepresents the people or brands shown.
15. Breach and Enforcement
We pour our hearts into our work. Unauthorised use of our designs or photography is not only disappointing but affects our livelihood. Fleur de Rin reserves the right to request the immediate removal of any content used in breach of these terms and, where necessary, to recover losses for copyright infringement.
