No catch. The math actually works.
Fresh-florist pricing is built on middlemen, perishability, and rush logistics. Sola cuts every one of those out.

The perishability tax, gone

Nobody at the wedding could tell.
The most common thing brides hear at their reception. And in the photos afterward.
"My photographer walked over and asked where I got the flowers. She wanted to book them for another wedding. I had to tell her they're wood."
"My mother-in-law kept sniffing my bouquet. She only figured it out when I told her at brunch the next day."
"In every photo they look real. In every close-up they look real. Only my bridesmaids knew, and only because they helped me build them."

"My florist quoted $3,000 for bouquets and centerpieces. I got the entire wedding, including arch florals, through Sola for under $600. Nobody could tell."
"I'll be honest, I thought 'fake flowers' too. Then I held the sampler. It's real wood from a real plant, hand-shaped and hand-dyed. My photographer asked where I got them."
"My bouquet is on my dresser three years later. My niece is using my bridesmaid bouquets next year. Try doing that with $300 worth of fresh peonies."
About the math
Is the price really lower than a florist?
Yes. The Knot 2025 Real Weddings Study puts the U.S. average at $2,800 to $4,000. Most Sola brides spend $500 to $1,000 for the same coverage: bouquets, boutonnieres, centerpieces, arch.
Why are they so much cheaper?
No middleman, no wholesaler markup, no delivery or setup fee, no rush perishable supply chain, no waste. We hand-dye and ship direct to your door.
Are these fake flowers?
No. Sola is real wood from a real plant (the sola/shola plant), hand-shaped into blooms and hand-dyed to your palette. They look just like fresh flowers in photos. Order the free sampler and hold one in your hand.
Can I DIY, or does Sola arrive finished?
Both. Build your own with our free DIY tutorials, backed by the DIY Guarantee. Or choose Ship Finished Product and our team dyes, builds, and arranges every piece for you. Either way, delivery is backed by On Time or It's Free.
Are there hidden fees?
No. Free shipping on orders $149+. Free gift on orders $199+. The price you see is the price you pay.
What if I want a few fresh flowers mixed in?
Some brides do this. Sola for the keepsake pieces (bridal bouquet, centerpieces) and fresh for the table accents. Still costs a fraction of an all-fresh florist.
What if something goes wrong?
Five guarantees have your back. The Everlasting Guarantee: they last forever, or we replace them at no cost to you. On Time or It's Free. The Satisfaction Guarantee: if you're not happy, we work with you to make it right. The DIY Guarantee: free virtual crafting hours for as long as you need. And the Fast Service Guarantee: email replies within 24 business hours, or a $10 gift card.
