What are wood flowers made of?

Wood flowers, often called sola wood flowers, are made from a few different plants and vary by vendor. They can be made from balsa wood, derived from the tapioca plant, using the root of the marshy plant, or made from the Shola plant. All of these materials give a paper-like material that is versatile and forgiving. We only use the best vendors for our flowers to ensure they are as realistic as possible and of the best quality.

Can my wreath be hung outside?

No. Our wood flowers are made from natural materials, and if left exposed, they will mold and break down over time. Our flower arrangements are suitable for wreaths that will be hung inside of a storm door, or a well protected porch covering.

If painted flowers get wet, there is a chance the color will bleed onto others. If you do leave your flowers exposed to the elements, we will not be held liable for any fading, color transfer or flower breakdown once they leave our studio.

How do I store my arrangements?

If kept properly, your arrangements will last you for years to come. Because our flowers are made from natural materials, they need to be taken care of properly to ensure their lifespan.

Do not keep your flowers in direct heat or sunlight (ie. an afternoon sun filled window) as the sun/heat will dry out the flowers and cause them to become brittle and break at the touch.

Do not leave your flowers exposed to moisture (exposed front door, spring rains outside, humid rooms) as they can mold.

If you are packing away your arrangements for a different season, loosely wrap in bubble wrap to protect breakage, and store in a container with holes to ensure air flow, in a humidity-free room.

I have an idea for an arrangement, but do not see it offered, can you make it?

We love challenges! Please contact us with your wildest wood flower dreams and we will work with you to make it happen!

How soon should I order?

Please keep in mind that, unless otherwise stated, all orders are custom.

For wedding orders we need at least 3 months notice to ensure supply availability. If you are getting married before then, you are still welcome to reach out and see if we have your date open, but flower choices may be limited.

Custom arrangements take 1-3 weeks depending on if we have the requested flowers in stock. If we have to special order flowers to fulfill the order expect it to be shipped in at least 2 weeks. If you need it sooner, we can offer flower substitutions.

What colors can my flowers be?

Any color you can think of! The beauty of wood flowers is all of the different mediums we can play with! Every flower can be customized to your color scheme. Getting married and want your peonies to be the same shade as your bridesmaids dresses? No problem! We can take any swatch and color match it.
