What is it?
Forever Floral Designs provides hand-crafted, hypoallergenic, eco-friendly, color-matched wedding florals from Sola Wood.
With Forever Floral Designs, you get florals that look and feel like real flowers — minus the allergens and the wilting.
So your wedding florals can last a lifetime.
Where does it come from?
My flowers are produced from a plant called Aeschynomeneaspera, also known as Sola. The low density of this plant is what sets my flowers apart from other faux options. Aeschynomeneaspera wood is one of the lightest woods in the world. The Sola is an aquatic plant, with the native range of species stretching from Tropical Asia to N. Australia.
Each flower is hand rolled, cut, shaped, and colored to match any style. Sola Wood is eco- friendly, hypoallergenic, and a maintainable alternative to fresh cut flowers. Sola Wood Flowers FEEL just like a real flower. Their silk-like texture and thin pedals match the feeling of a fresh flower; however, they won't dry, wilt, crack, or fade in color. Sola wood flowers last a LIFETIME.

"We researched alternative, more sustainable options and stumbled upon Addison and Sola wood — seriously one of the best decisions we could’ve made."

"Like many couples, we saw the prices of fresh wedding florals and almost fainted. We researched alternative, more sustainable options and stumbled upon Addison and sola wood — seriously one of the best decisions we could’ve made. Addison was so responsive from the moment I reached out for a quote. Once we booked with her, she kept me updated every step of the way and sent pictures/videos for approval. She color matched everything perfectly. She even entertained the quirky details I challenged her to make/incorporate (a dog collar flower and bottle caps). She made a trip to our venue in Taos to set everything up, which was so above and beyond. Working with Addison was so easy — she is professional, a perfectionist, and truly cares about her work and her couples. My biggest regret is not placing a larger order because everything we got was absolutely perfect. Don’t wait, book with Addison now!" - Tiffany
My florals can be color matched to align precisely with any color scheme.

Delivery* Set up* Breakdown
how to care for your sola wood flower arrangement
1. Keep your sola wood arrangement out of direct sunlight.
2. Your arrangement will keep its vibrance longer if it remains indoors.
3. Sola wood flowers are not meant to get wet!
Harsh moisture will dry out your flowers and make them crack.
5. Sola wood flowers do not have a scent; apply only oil-based scents. DO NOT spray any water-based perfumes on your flowers.
7. When dusting your arrangements, computer keyboard spray is recommended. Spray at least 3-4 feet away.
9. Sola wood flowers are delicate, so any harsh handling will damage them. Handle each petal with care.
10. Your Sola wood flowers are a keepsake! So, enjoy them forever!
Meet the Founder
My name is Addison Rivera...
My name is Addison Rivera, and I am a mother, wife, native New Mexican, and full-time
artist. Creating art has been a passion of mine since I was able to put pen to paper. It
wasn’t until later in life that I experienced the greatest joy of art: the happiness I can
evoke in others through my creative process. And what a gift I was given to be born into
the beauty that is New Mexico. Sometimes it almost seems unfair that my backdrop is
pure, natural beauty! I feel beyond blessed to be where I am today, bringing dreams to
life through my art, and making friendships along the way. It will always be a great honor
to be chosen to be a part of your special event. I look forward to going on a creative
journey with you on your special day!
Wishing you well,
-Addison
