SOLA FLOWERS! Too Good To Be True??? **Update****

I was wondering the same thing! I hope someone has used them!

I'm working with them right now. Unless you buy them wired you have to do that yourself and it is pretty time consuming. I decided not to dye mine, however a quick Google search will lead you in the right direction. It seems like a lot of people use RIT dyes. They shed a bit while attaching the wires . There are a few brides on here that have used them too

Thanks Rachel! I decided to order them I really feel in love with and found some really helpful DIY tuts. I

I did! They were a pain in the side to deal with, but turned out nicely. I made wire stems and glued them to every flower.

Cost wise, it was about $30 per bouquet for sola flowers and wire (mine were quite a bit more once I added the ribbon roses and feathers) were added. The cost was much higher than I anticipated. But I made mine fairly large and used about 40 flowers in each bouquet.

I tried to dye them with food coloring, didn't work, so I added in ribbon roses.

Now, that I posted the pics, forgot I made and added black pearl sprays. Now I remember why those cost so much! If you stick to just the sola flowers, it should be pretty easy. But my girls loved them and most have them displayed in their house somewhere.

And I'll shamelessly post more pics for you

I bought sola flower bouquets and they're gorgeous. I purchased them, already made, off of Etsy. Still cheaper than regular flowers.

Never heard of them till now.....they are pretty though!

OMG Ashleigh!!! You did a great job they came out great!!!

I do want to dye mine so I will start early! Wish me LUCK!!

Update! I took the plunge!!! I order a lil over 200 Sola Flowers. I ordered a variety of flowers, I plan on dying them. I will be using them fo my bouquet. bouts & corages. After my reserach Save on Crafts had the best prices.

Where did you buy them from in bulk? Do you have a link? Any update on how to dye them successfully?

Here are the sola bouquets I made for my wedding. All flowers are hand died but I did leave some plain as the natural cream color worked perfectly!
