Bloom Effect w Emissive Below 1

picnic

I am trying to get the bloom effect without having a bright emissive material.
Typically I would make the colour 20 or something but in this case I want the material to be "dim" when you look at it but still achieve the bloom/glow effect around the edges.
Anyone have any ideas, I realise this may not be possible but any help would be greatly appreciated.

i'd fake it with a mesh and faint emissive material or a particle if you want it to be screen facing all the time.

Post Process Effect that is boosting Bloom, that should work.
