The bride didn’t like the look of silk flowers, but didn’t want to deal with real flowers either, so the sola wood flowers were absolutely perfect!!

I wanted white flowers that looked real in photos, and debated forever about trying these. I made a test bouquet with the assortment to show to my toughest critics. They gushed over how good it looked! I have a lot left over to start my bridesmaids' bouquets. You may have to fluff a few (they come with simple instructions), but for the most part, they're ready to go.
When I first dyed my flowers I used way too much paint which caused the flowers to be hard as rock but thankfully I didn’t throw them out. I took all those flowers and dipped them in warm water mixed with a teaspoon of the softener and it helped get them all soft again!
I bought the dyed skinless flowers for my upcoming wedding this summer to make my own bridesmaid & bridal bouquets. For a bride on a budget, I couldnt have asked for better products! It was super easy to do, I did 7 bouquets by myself & I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out! They are so detailed with slight imperfections that make them absolutely perfect!
I think I am really going to like to like these flowers. However, they need more instructions. I actually thought the glue stick was a wax stick! Simply dye instructions as well as step by step stem attachment would be really helpful
I absolutely love my sola wood flowers. I love them because they look real but will last forever. They are so fun to work with and very pliable if a petal gets bent or smushed during delivery. The RIP bags were honestly still high quality. Small rips that were not very noticeable in the petals. I love Sola Wood Flowers, and I have been telling everyone I know about them!!!!
I am very satisfied with my order. The only thing that I was unhappy with was when I ordered the flowers there was an option for the buy one get one. I thought that the order would just be duplicated. I order three colors and I thought that the other part would be colored also. They were just ivory. But I can use them for other projects. Also I had several flowers that were damaged probably 30 out of 200. Just a little disappointed!
These flowers are great! Easy to dye or use as raw. This was my first time ever making these types of arrangements. If you’re unsure how to get started, there are very helpful videos online! So far I am very happy with how my wedding bouquet and boutonnieres turned out!!
The Sola Softener definitely helps give the flowers more of a flex/natural squish feel, but there are no clear directions on how much to use in relation to water.
I spent $58 on 250 flowers with the 70% off sale. It was worth every penny and even if there wasn’t a sale I would still buy it, just not as many. Before you buy I would highly suggest doing research on how to dye the flowers, store the flowers, and so forth.You so need to be gentle because the wood carvings will break.
I assumed a beginner's kit would include something along the lines of instructions, but....there were none at all. This was my first time using sola flowers, and I just expected a little more than the supplies, particularly since some elements weren't evident (i.e. whether the block of foam should be cut exactly to the top of the box or if there should be a little bit on top). I supplemented with spare flowers I'd bought for just this purpose and looked up videos on how to stem the flowers. While I appreciate the quality of the product and enjoy the end result, I do wish the kit had come with some sort of beginner-friendly instructions and tips.
Generally, I really liked this bouquet kit. I liked being able to pick the colors to dye the flowers, and that process was relatively easy. Attaching the wires was really hard, but once they were on it wasn’t bad. Tying the bouquet was easy, I appreciate that some floral tape and thin rope for wrapping were included. The bouquet definitely doesn’t look “real” since there aren’t stems (just the wires) and the bottoms of some of the flowers look a little odd. One big thing: the kit doesn’t come with ANY directions, you have to search the site to find what you need, which was a little challenging. I followed videos that weren’t super specific (like for the dying video you add “about a cereal bowl full of water”... so, how much is that supposed to be? No directions on the bottles either. Instructions would help a lot!
Robyn, we're glad to hear your bouquet turned out beautiful even though you didn't have specific instructions. This was a mistake on our end as we didn't hit 'publish' on the tutorial located here: https://solawoodflowers.com/blogs/sola-school/sola-school-beginner-bouquet-kit-tutorial
We know this is of no use to you now, but we sincerely apologize for the mistake. Thank you for supporting us, and we hope to win your business back.
Not worth the money and hassle of waiting for a damaged shipment. You can also find these flowers at target
I am still waiting for my full order. My order came incomplete. I ordered paints, flowers, stems, etc. paints came and nothing else. I have now had to call twice and I still don’t have the flowers. Really bummed.
My best friend really wanted succulents for her early summer wedding, but the price was overly prohibitive for the number of table decorations she needed. Enter Sola Wood Flowers! She ordered two of the succulent assortments of 50 each, and we set to dying them today. We used a Tulip brand tie dye pack and a 1:4 fabric softener to water ratio added to the dry dye powder. We dipped, dabbed and swirled them into really authentic looking succulents!
The results are impressive! She couldn't be happier, and we'll be ordering more for her bouquet! There were a few broken petals, but those flowers will be used as edges or filler. No love lost!
These flowers are great! However I ordered three packs of 100 random flowers and received three bags of the same exact flowers.. I would encourage you to have your selectors mix up the random bags.. it only forced me to spend more money for different assortments .. in turn I may find another supplier for these flowers!
It would be nice if directions and tips came with the order. Also a few of the flowers were falling apart. We were able to fix them but maybe sending a coupe of extra with each order would insure we got the number we ordered.
I placed an order a few months back which included the Skinless Mini Flower Assortment. These wood flowers did not disappoint. I was so impressed with the quality, details and amount that came in each package. I will definitely be purchasing more from Sola Wood Flowers in the future. I have used my choices not just for bouquet arrangements, but for winter project around my home. They are perfect for a variety of projects.
My order was to be delivered on May 7th. As of today the post office can not locate my package. No one knows where it could be. Completely upset. I needed these stem covers for my bridesmaids bouquets. Wedding is tomorrow!!
I bout 5 - 25 piece packs and they couldn’t be more perfect. The shipping was fast. The product is durable withholding 6 months so far of reconfiguring and baby grabbing and kicking. love them ♥️
These flowers were perfect for our outdoor wedding. So beautiful!
I took a chance and ordered these for a bride and groom I'm working with and was so glad I did. They not only loved them for the project I was working on but now I ordered more to make all the centerpieces! They are beautiful.
This is the 3rd time ordering flowers/supplies from this company. I have yet to be disappointed. A SMALL amount of flowers from the 300 I have ordered now have come MILDLY damaged. This will occur no matter what. The company loads their boxes with air-packets for cushioning, places air in bags to protect flowers and place fragile on their boxes but you cannot control how Fedex handles their boxes. The colors are accurate to the examples on the website. The eucalyptus is beautiful! Honestly, with a little extra work to make bouquets yourself, this is a stunning money saving option that makes your bouquet/decorations more unique!
