WHAT ARE SOLA FLOWERS?
A sola flower is a type of flower made from the tapioca plant's softwood, also known as the sola plant. The wood is peeled and then shaped into various forms, including flowers. Sola flowers are popular in DIY crafts and home decor because they are lightweight, durable, and easy to dye. They are often used as a natural and eco-friendly alternative to traditional paper or silk flowers.
WHY DO FLORISTS LOVE SOLA FLOWERS?
Florists love sola flowers because they have several unique properties that make them well-suited for use in floral arrangements. Some of the reasons why florists may prefer sola flowers include:
- Natural appearance: Sola flowers have a natural, organic look and feel, which makes them an excellent choice for creating rustic or bohemian-style arrangements.
- Versatility: Sola flowers can be dyed to match any color scheme and can be shaped and manipulated to create a wide variety of floral designs.
- Durability: Sola flowers are made from wood, which is much more durable than traditional paper or silk flowers. This makes them an excellent choice for long-lasting arrangements or uses in outdoor settings.
- Cost-effective: Sola flowers are typically less expensive than real flowers, which makes them a cost-effective option for florists.
- Low maintenance: Sola flowers don't require water or sunlight, so they are easy to maintain and store.
GREAT FOCAL FLOWER
A focal flower is a primary or central flower in a floral arrangement. It is the flower that draws the most attention and is the centerpiece of the arrangement. The focal flower is typically the largest or most striking flower in the arrangement and is used to create a visual point of interest.
The focal flower is usually placed in the center or front of an arrangement. The other flowers and foliage are arranged around it to complement and enhance its appearance. The choice of focal flower can change the arrangement's whole style, mood, and theme.
Focal flowers can be made of different materials, including fresh flowers, dried flowers, or artificial flowers, like sola flowers. It is essential to select the right focal flower to match the occasion, the person, the place, or the theme of the arrangement.
Overall, sola flowers are a versatile, cost-effective, and durable alternative to traditional flowers, making them a popular choice among florists.
