About Sola Wood Flowers
What Are Sola Wood Flowers?
Sola wood flowers are made of sustainably farmed sholapith - which is a soft, fast growing plant. They are soft, and almost foam-like in feel. We offer our flowers both with bark - known as skin flowers - or without the bark. All our flowers are handmade with the best craftsmanship.
How Are Sola Wood Flowers Made?
Sola wood flowers are made by hand, out of sholapith. A soft fast-growing wood. Once turned into flexible sheets, the flowers are then hand-folded into various shapes. Our entirely hand-made process is why our flowers are different and can be formed to replicate various live flowers.
How Long Do The Flowers Last... Do They Expire?
When correctly cared for, sola wood flowers last for a very long time and will not expire! Keep them in a cool, dry place and remove them from the bag as soon as they arrive. If you dye your flowers, try to keep them out of direct sunlight and humid rooms.
How Can I Know The Product Quality Will Be Good?
We understand that quality is important to our customers, which is why we go to great lengths to ensure our Sola Wood Flowers are of the highest quality. We use only the best materials and craftsmanship to ensure our products are durable and beautiful. We also inspect each flower before it is shipped to ensure it meets our high standards. We are confident that our Sola Wood Flowers will bring you joy and satisfaction for years to come.
Are Sola Wood Flowers Eco Friendly & Natural?
Yes! Our flowers are made of fast-growing replenishible sholapith wood.
Sola Wood Flowers are made from natural materials, no two are exactly alike. Our products are natural and eco-friendly.
Occasionally there may be small holes that from a "knot" in the wood due to the nature of the materials.
How Do I Care For Them?
Our products are an organic material--they are not foam, therefore they WILL mold if left contained for an extended period of time. As soon as you receive your product open any flower bags to allow moisture to escape and prevent mold.
Check Out our Expert Care Tips to learn more.
Can They Be Displayed Outside?
Yes but they may run into issues over time if exposed to severe heat, water or humidity. Some customers apply clear coat if they want to keep their flowers outdoors.
Can Sola Wood Flowers Be Scented?
Yes, due to the natural material used scents take hold very well and last 2-3 months, check out our sola wood scents to do so!

Loved the flowers and dying them was really fun and turned out great!
Ordering Sola Wood Flowers
What Type Of Flowers Do You Offer?
We offer a vast selection of sola wood flowers in many shapes and sizes. In addition to our wedding flower kits.
You can use the filtering or search bar to locate exactly what you are looking for.
Do The Flowers Come With Stems?
Flowers do not come with stems - but we do offer stems! You can find bamboo stems here and wire here. We also offer stem covers, which some of our customers like using for a more realistic look.
Should I Get My Flowers "Pre-softened"?
We highly advise that you get sola softener with your order. This keeps the flowers moist and malleable while helping retain the form of the flower.
You can select the "pre-softened" option on the product page if you would like us to soften the flowers for you!
Can I Get Them In Custom Colors?
Yes you can! Certain products offer a custom dye option! Most of our 10 Pack flowers, and all of our Random Flower Assortments offer custom dye options on their product page. You can view our colors in our Color Gallery.
What Size Of Flowers Do You Offer?
Flowers are available in a variety of sizes. Most flowers are available in 1" flowers, 1.5" flowers, 2" flowers and 3" flower sizes. We have filters on the left hand side of our site which allow you view flowers by size. You'll see the filter appear in sections like our 10 pack collection of sola wood flowers.
What Is Sola Softener?
Sola softener locks in moisture and keeps your flower soft and squishy - even after they've been dyed! All of our pre-softened and custom "Build-it-for-me" products use sola softener to ensure they stay soft. You can find sola softener here.
What are Bark and No Bark Flowers?
How Do I Dye Sola Wood Flowers?
Most customers use our sola dye to color their flowers and our sola softener to ensure they retain their squishy feel.
For a step by step guide, please check out our How To Dye Sola Wood Flowers tutorial.
Will The Flowers Retain Their Shape?
Our flowers are relatively soft and made entirely by hand. They may lose a bit of shape but fear not, this can easily be fixed by fluffing the flowers. You can find out how with our free sola wood crafting tutorials!

These flowers allowed me to dye them the color palette I was using for my casual French country Christmas. I bundled some and added other elements to tuck into the Christmas tree and used them as the topper. The look is soft and stunning.

Gorgeous flowers, super fast delivery, and amazing value for the price. Using these for our wedding for a fraction of the cost of floral arrangements. Can't imagine ever going back to dealing with florists.
