About Sola Ever After

Joni & Jimmie Pass | Owners, Creators, Flower-Fixers

Welcome to Sola Ever After, where beauty meets permanence in every handcrafted arrangement.

Hi there — we’re Joni and Jimmie Pass, the husband-and-wife duo behind these one-of-a-kind wooden flower creations.

Our journey with sola wood flowers began while planning our own wedding. I loved how customizable they were and loved that I could keep them forever. 

Each arrangement tells a story of dedication, creativity, and love. From intimate home accents to grand wedding centerpieces, our wooden flowers capture the essence of natural beauty while offering the permanence that life's most precious moments deserve.

What Makes Sola Wood Flowers Special?

Sola wood flowers are handcrafted from the sola plant (Aeschynomene aspera), a fast-growing, sustainable resource native to Asia. Unlike fresh flowers that last days, our wooden blooms maintain their beauty for years, making them perfect for:

  • Weddings: Keepsake bouquets and centerpieces
  • Home Decor: Year-round beauty without maintenance
  • Special Gifts: Meaningful presents that last forever
  • Seasonal Displays: Arrangements that never need replacing

Our Commitment

Every arrangement is:

  • Handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail
  • Customizable to match your vision and color scheme
  • Eco-friendly using sustainable materials
  • Long-lasting with proper care, lasting for years
  • Allergy-friendly perfect for sensitive individuals

The Artisan Process

Each flower begins as a raw sola wood piece, carefully shaped, dyed, and assembled by hand. This artisanal process ensures that no two arrangements are exactly alike, giving you a truly unique piece of art.

Our motto is simple:
✨ “If we can put a flower in it, on it, or around it — we make it happen.” ✨

Thank you for supporting our small business. We’re so happy you’re here.

With love,
Joni & Jimmie

Our Sustainability Story

Beautiful flowers that honor the planet

At Sola Ever After, sustainability isn't just a buzzword—it's at the heart of everything we create. Our sola wood flowers offer a stunning, eco-friendly alternative to traditional cut flowers, with environmental benefits that last as long as our arrangements do.

How Sola Wood is Harvested

Sola wood comes from the renewable sola plant (Aeschynomene aspera), a fast-growing marsh plant native to tropical regions. The wood is carefully harvested from the plant's stems in a sustainable process that allows the plant to regenerate, creating a truly renewable resource.

Environmental Impact: Sola Wood vs. Cut Flowers

The average American household buys fresh flowers 4-6 times per year—all ending in the trash. Here's how our sola wood arrangements compare:

  • ♻️ Zero Waste
    • Our arrangements last forever, eliminating the weekly cycle of buying and discarding fresh flowers
  • 💧 No Water Waste
    • Cut flowers require constant water changes and irrigation; sola wood needs none
  • 🌱 No Pesticides
    • Unlike commercial flower farms, sola wood production doesn't require harmful chemicals
  • ❄️ No Refrigeration
    • Fresh flowers need energy-intensive cold storage; ours don't
  • ✈️ Reduced Carbon Footprint
    • No air freight from distant flower farms to your door
  • 🌿 Biodegradable
    • At the end of their (very long) life, sola wood returns naturally to the earth

Handcrafted in Small Batches

Each arrangement is carefully handcrafted to order, reducing overproduction and waste. We create only what's needed, when it's needed—a stark contrast to the mass-production model of the floral industry.

Durable Beauty That Replaces Disposable Décor

One sola wood arrangement can replace years of fresh flower purchases, saving money while dramatically reducing environmental impact. It's premium quality that pays for itself in sustainability.
