About this vendor
Sola Wood floral arrangements
Forever Floral Designs is an eco-friendly alternative to fresh cut flowers and silk flowers. My Sola Wood Flowers are produced from a plant called Aeschynomeneaspera. This plant grows wild in marshy areas around the world typically in tropical regions. 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. Not to mention, the best part: a keepsake and completely hypoallergenic.
No need to preserve your arrangements, my Sola Wood Flowers are forever-ready! 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. Silk and faux flowers fade with time and collect dust that grows a grittiness with plastic and fabric. My sola wood flowers last a LIFETIME.
I specialize in weddings, engagements and all occasions. I produce floral designs ranging from classic, boho, country to modern and glamorous. You choose the arrangement that matches your style, personality and vision for a keepsake that will last forever.
Services Offered Forever Floral Designs offers affordable and hypoallergenic items for your shower, ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. I am happy to hold a private consultation to discuss your wishes and preferences. I create each item completely custom to your liking, to include the size, color and style. Some examples and options are aisle decor, bouquets, boutonnieres, centerpieces, corsages, and flower crowns. To ensure that you receive a quality experience from beginning to end I offer samples, venue visits, and delivery services. I also provide set up and arch rentals. I look forward to working with you for your special day!

We loved Addison! She saw our vision and brought our dreams to life! Her flowers were beyond our expectations! Would recommend to anyone looking for exception flowers!
Wow! What an experience. She was everything we could have asked for! Her prices were amazing and she offered so much. She made exactly what I wanted and was so professional. Thanks Addison
Addison was one of the sweetest individuals I have ever met. She went OVER AMD BEYOND for us and even helped with our planning. I would recommend her to anyone who wants their wedding of their dreams and more!!!!!!!!!!! Addison your the best and congratulations on florist of the year!!!
Any questions?
Wow! I had the most easiest experience creating my vision with Addison. Here personality and professionalism was the cherry on top. Not to mention of $. Her business fit right in our budget.
Do you want a professional, hardworking, reliable florist ? Who can create your vision exactly the way you wanted? Book Addison for your keepsake florals. You won’t regret it. The quality of her work was worth every penny.
LOVE LOVE LOVE Addison!!! Extremely easy to work with. Very good and efficient at communicating and sending videos of the updated florals. Great at brainstorming and making your vision come alive. She'll get back to you in 24 hours which is very rare in wedding world. Guests loved the florals and didn't realize they weren't real unless told. Beautiful arrangements, can't say enough amazing things about FFD. 10/10 would book again.
Addison with Forever Floral Design was incredible to work with. I often told her that working with her was the best part of planning my wedding, and it absolutely was. Addison’s energy and enthusiasm is contagious- she kept me excited the entire journey, from discussing my very convoluted tropical-meets-nautical concept, to receiving my flowers pre-packed for shipping and transport to a destination wedding. She even worked with me and my budget to craft all the items I needed at a more than reasonable price.
My flower order was a little unique in that I had to have completely synthetic or wood flowers for all of my pieces, as I had my wedding on a cruise ship that did not allow any kind of dried or fresh flowers. She kept in touch with me throughout the whole process, sent me tons of photos and videos, and was willing to work with me on little color or design changes here and there (very little needed as she executed my vision better than I could have imagined). She even incorporated some fun, special little inclusions along the way when she came up with new ideas or found something while she was out and about.
My flowers were packed very well, nothing was crushed and everything had plenty of room, making shipping and traveling on an airplane very easy. My bouquet was gorgeous, and all of my decorative pieces were just stunning. If you’re looking for florals that look amazing, last forever, and are exactly what you envision, Addison is your florist! I can’t say enough good things!
Wow!!!! Addison did a wonderful job at creating our vision. Her pricing was so affordable. We were so fortunate that we got to rent the variety of arches she had so we didn’t have to purchase one. She had great deals and even threw in some freebies ! She was so efficient and was fantastic at setting up all our florals for our big day. We were so excited to show off our sola wood flowers.
Thank you Addison for being you!
I’m so glad we chose her for a vendor. Her prices were exactly in our price range and other vendors we got quotes from didn’t make us feel important and the prices for real flowers were shocking, knowing that I had no idea what a waste they were as fresh flowers die. All our centerpieces and accessories and bouquets and boutonnière were the best gifts to our guests She also color matched our exact colors which other flowers can’t. We will recommend Forever Floral Designs to all our friends and family in the future for their weddings!
Great customer service and wonderful professionalism. She was so personable and I would NEVER think about buying fresh flowers again. These look and feel like real flowers that don’t die!!! Incredible prices she has. BEST BUDGET VENDOR for my our special day!
Addison was amazing to work with. She was very detailed oriented!! She communicated from the beginning to the end ! I would recommend her to everyone!
The flowers were EVERYTHING I wanted them to be! Being a first time bride we were both patient with each other and communicated very well. I would definitely recommend them for photos and flowers. (I already have!)
Addison took a combination of my wishes, colors of the wedding and paired it with her artistic talent to make everything come to life. It was more than I could’ve imagined! What’s so special is the longevity of sola wood vs live florals. It was a cost saver going this route but our bouquets, singles and center piece we get to enjoy for a lifetime. I cannot thank her enough for making our wedding decor and props shout simple, elegance. I recommend her everywhere I go, whenever I can because it’s a wedding game changer! You cannot go wrong with her!
It was a pleasure to work with Forever Floral Designs! My wedding guests and I couldn't say enough good things about them. Addison is a wonderful communicator who brings your floral fantasies to reality. I love that we were able to keep our wedding flowers. I wholeheartedly recommend her and her flowers!
Addison did a beautiful job, florals complemented the dress and setting perfectly, and several friends and guests commented on how beautiful the flowers were and one even said she wished she had gone with Forever Floral for her own wedding! Great to work with for both florals and photography. Highly recommend!
I found this vendor through New Mexico wedding expo and she was amazing! Addison was so enthusiastic and sweet, she really saw our vision. I feel she went above and beyond to really make my special day magical. And the communication was A+!
Work was great, customer service was lacking. Addison was not communicative about the way she fills orders and got really impatient when we kept asking her when our wedding flowers would be done but would not give us a straight answer until the week of before our wedding. While the work was completed and done nicely, the lack of communication about the process of completion was a major turn off. Addison seems very disorganized about the way she runs her business from handling of payment to completing work on flowers. For those looking to book: be aware that she will not start working on your flowers until about 10 days before your event give or take. This was not made clear in our initial consultation. Addison’s contract is very confusing so READ CAREFULLY and make sure to ask every question that you may have if utilizing her services. She will charge roughly $250 to change your date, if even by 1 whole business day for circumstances out of your control, so be sure to have your event date set in stone before booking.
Response from the Vendor on 11/07/2023
I do apologize if you felt like my contract was something you did not agree with. Please make sure with every contract you sign you read over before signing. I had been very patient with reiterating my contract to you and your bride repeatedly ...
and made sure that you understood every portion. If a couple changes their wedding date months prior and assumes that I have their NEW date available, YES, I do charge a fee. You were more than welcome to find another vendor if you weren’t satisfied with my accommodations I made for you and your bride. I always make sure that all my couples understand the process of my business and how their order works. I also didn’t appreciate your bride disrespecting my business and speaking to me in the way she did after all the love and time I put into your order. Again please make sure that you read contracts you may sign in the future before all services. I wish you and your new bride the best of luck and happiness, I am blessed that I was a little part of your special day.
If I could give Addison more stars, I would!!! She was AMAZING to work with 💕 I could not have picked a better florist for my wedding! Everything was perfect 🥰
Addison is an amazing person to work with! Communication was always top notch and she makes sure you get exactly what you want and envisioned! She made sure we were involved every step of the process from the consultation, color matching, last minute adds or changes, to pictures for final approval. I can go on and on!
Addison did an incredible job. Everything was BEAUTIFUL and we received so many compliments!
My flowers were amazing!! Very professional and brought my vision to life! I had people ask if I needed a vase with water to keep them fresh at my reception 😂
Addison created the most breath-taking florals for my June 2nd wedding. She touched base with me often throughout the whole process to make sure everything was how I dreamed it would be. Every single thing she created are now displayed in my home, and the homes of our loved ones who we gifted some of the pieces to. We are beyond happy we chose Forever Floral Designs!
Addison was extremely amazing. She was extremely responsive and it made us feel like she was only working on our wedding even though we knew she had lots of though weddings going on. Her flowers were like nothing we have ever seen before. They turned out better than having actual real flowers. Now we have a keep sake that will last forever. Thank you so much Addison!
What can I say about Addison. I met her at a wedding expo 17 months before my wedding and we kept in touch throughout the journey. Come crunch time, I couldn’t and didn’t get enough of her. Her bubbly personality was detrimental to many brides wanting to throw in the towel and just elope. Thankfully we got our big day and looked wonderful. My bouquets are a keepsake that all my bridesmaids and the winner of the bouquet toss took home and my cake, I can’t say how gorgeous it looked. I can’t thank her enough for everything she did for us I hope many of you get to experience her talent!
Amazing! Addison makes you feel like a friend and really captured your vision.
My flowers for my wedding were spectacular and breathtaking! I am truly lucky to have found Addison!!! She is a genius and an artist when it comes to creating a one of a kind piece for your wedding day that lasts a lifetime!!! She is truly amazing and I highly recommend her for anyone who's getting married!
Addison was a dream to work with. She made our vision come to life. We highly recommend her.
I wanted a certain look for my bouquet on my wedding day, and Addison did an amazing job at that. She was very thorough with her process and was willing to work with me if there were any changes.
Addison was absolutely amazing! I was hesitant on if I wanted real flowers or wood flowers but I was beyond impressed by her wood flowers! Everything came out so beautiful!
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 flower collar 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!
Addison made my dream come true! She listened. She never thought I had as crazy with my late night texts. The flowers were color matched perfectly! She has a special kind of soul! If you want your flowers to last forever. This is the way.
When my fiance and I were looking for flower arrangements, we found forever Floral designs at a wedding expo! Addison is such an amazing person! Her work is absolutely beautiful! She communicate with you through the whole process! I'm so in love with how my arrangements turned out! I forgot to order one boutineer, and without any hesitation Addison said she would make one for me! So lucky to have Addison apart of my special day!
Addison is extremely talented and an absolute professional! We loved the flowers for our wedding, and the best part about them is we can keep them forever! Can not thank you enough for such a great addition to our wedding❤️
I can’t tell you how AWESOME these flowers are! They FEEL just like a real peddles and look just like real flowers! I get to keep my wedding bouquet forever and so do my bridesmaids , I had no idea who Addison was and what she could creat! Sola wood is so great and I couldn’t be happier I chose sola wood flowers. Addison was amazing and so sweet, she was incredible to work with. She always got back to me within minutes and was so easy to work with! Nothing about her service was difficult and she even helped me set up All my wedding arrangements for free. You won’t regret booking her.
Absolutely love Addison and her beautiful work! Everything came out so amazing! I would recommend her to every couple that is looking for their wedding needs! She stays in contact about the progress and she is NOT pricey! Very affordable! Thank you again Addison for everything you made for my wedding!
BEST decision we made for our wedding!! We have loved working with Addison. She is a joy and is a master at her art. We’re beyond happy with our flowers and arrangements. They’re literally our vision transformed into reality. We’re glad to have sustainable materials used and flowers that we can cherish through the years. We can’t rave enough about Forever Floral Design!! AMAZING!
Addison made me the perfect bouquet! My wedding was a bit of a challenge because we were hiking to our destination. Addison went out of her way to help us figure out a way to carry my bouquet on my backpack. When I say my bouquet went through it I mean it! High winds, trees, falling, when she says forever florals she means it! My bouquet looks the same as the day I got it and I’m so happy with my experience, thank you again!
Addison was truly such a fantastic person to work with. A beautiful artist, kind, responsive, and positive. So happy we found her. I would recommend her to anyone!
She worked so hard on our flowers. They looked amazing. So beautiful. The reception hall was so colorful and beautiful. I have recommended Addison to everyone I know that’s planning or thinking about planning a wedding.
Addison was the absolute best! She truly loves what she does and it shows. She provided the florals for my daughters wedding and everything was perfect! She puts her heart in each arrangement and it shows. Will recommend to everyone I know. Thank you, Greg, for helping make my daughters day extra special!

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.
