About this Product
Lush teardrop style or horizontal boho style bouquet is made with faux ficus greenery, sola wood flowers (natural color shown) and either faux or dried floral accents.
The natural ivory color is show but this bouquet can be ordered in any possible color or color combination. We can do exact custom color matching because the flowers can be hand painted with any of thousands of colors available from either Behr or Sherwin Williams. If you have a specific color to match get a paint swatch from either of these makers and we can use that exact color.
Glycerin is used in the hand-painting process to keep the flowers soft and natural.
Roses are just one of the flower options we have available - please fill out the short bridal questionnaire on our Honeybook site so we can help you customize the flowers for your bouquet and other floral accessories. Flowers can match exactly or we can do a complimentary color scheme for bridemaids bouquets, corsages, boutonniers and other accessories like table decor and flower crowns.
Consider if you would like any of the following in addition to your bouquet:
Bridemaids Bouquets - (generally made a size or two smaller than the bridal bouquet)
Boutonnnieres - (the groom's bout will be larger, more detailed than the groomsmen/father's/grandfather's)
Corsages - For mother's, grandmothers and other special people in the wedding. Can be pin on or wrist style.
Flower Crowns - These are an adorable accessory for the flower girls, or Jr. Bridemaids that they will love to wear after the wedding.
Table Decor - Everything from singles stems to go in vases to table arrangements in permanent bases.
Cake Flowers - We even do some accessories for the cake - these should be given to the cake decorator to add when arranging the cake (we include some paper discs to protect the cake).
Arch Decor - We don't do large installations (and do not deliver/install) but can make lovely swags that can be attached to arches, frames, pergolas etc.

Sola Wood Flowers- The history
The “Wooden” flowers used for wedding florals and home décor arrangements are made from a plant called Shola or Sola wood.
Sola wood, (also known as shola, sholapith and Indian cork) is a renewable resource that comes from an aquatic plant, Aeschynomene aspera, which mainly grows in marshy wetlands of Southeast Asia. It is considered a weed by farmers who would discard it but this new use was found and women now support their families by hand-making flowers from the porous wood.
Sola wood is a natural material and will last many years in it's natural state, turning warm ivory over time. Sola flowers colored with acrylic paint can last almost indefinitely. When wall paint is used the color options are in the many thousands.
