3 out of 5 starsVery unique, but they don't hold up. Extremely fragile. I only got a few wears out of them before they broke.

5 out of 5 starsThe veil was exactly as I pictured! The holders to put in your hair are really strong and everything looks to be connected very securely. So happy with this purchase!

1 out of 5 starsThe worst company I have EVER dealt with. BUYER BEWARE and make sure to read their policies. It states that their items are only ONE TIME USE (I never even got to use it) and if there is an issue they will totally blow you off. Crown was falling apart from the moment I got it. I never had a chance to try it on because it was so fragile that even touching it in the box cause pieces to break off. Cheaply mad with hot glue and sprayed babies breath. Less flowers then shown. Offered to send it back for a partial refund and got brushed off, ignored and then guilted. Etsy can NOT help you get a refund since the shops get to make their own polices. DOES NOT CARE ABOUT CUSTOMER I am disgusted by their actions and unwillingness to come to a solution! Not even worth 10$

The Sunflower Stand is very sorry you are not completely happy with your purchase. We definitely care about our customers and did our very best to find a solution to this specific transaction. Both The Sunflower Stand and Etsy have concluded that this item was damaged during shipping, and The Sunflower Stand is not liable. Our shop offered to repair the crown before the wedding/event free of charge, and also offered to help the customer submit a claim to the USPS; the customer refused both solutions. Dried flower items made by The Sunflower Stand are indeed fragile (as dried flowers tend to be), yet out of all that have been sold, we rarely have issues with them becoming damaged. Out of approximately 55 sold, this crown had only 2 reports of damage, giving it a less than .04 "failure" rate.

2 out of 5 starsBeautiful! Very fragile but just what we wanted!
That was my first review when we opened this floral crown. It is very beatiful. However, it is so fragile it did not last through one photo shoot even though it was treated with great care. There were no multiple hair changes, the photographer never touched it and it never moved on the brides hair. But, the lavender began falling off onto her dress before the photo session was over. We are now unable to use it for the wedding and that is disappointing. I tried discussing this with the maker of the crown but her policies are no returns. She did offer to repair the crown at my cost of shipping but there is no time for that now.
Again, this crown is beautiful but certainly not worth $70. -

About TheSunflowerStand
It all started with one Inspiring Pin on Pinterest.
A little pinspiration can sometimes go a long way!!
I saw a pin on how to make a feather extension. I made one for me, and then I made a few more for my friends. Everybody loved them so much and told me I should sell them. So I opened an Etsy shop.
I continued my love for working with feathers, and the extensions morphed into feather boutonnieres. Soon after other wedding flavored items were added into the shop.
A year and a half later The Sunflower Stand is a rustic / vintage wedding themed shop that has been so much fun! I hope The Sunflower Stand can help make your wedding dreams come true!
Happy Etsy-ing!

Accepted payment methods
Returns and exchanges
Due to the fragile nature of dried flowers, any ITEMS THAT INCLUDE DRIED FLOWERS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE. These pieces are intended for one time wear during your special event. These items will have a tendency to shed buds and petals slightly during shipping. We are not responsible for damage done to these items during the shipping process. If damaged during shipping, these pieces may be eligible for a postal insurance claim, repair, exchange, or store credit.
If your return/exchange request is accepted your item must be returned in the same condition it was sent and within 7 days of receiving it, unless you are international (within one month). I will return the price of the piece only minus a 25% restocking fee. If a return is accepted shipping incurred will not be refunded.
Custom orders (something not offered in my shop or altered items available in my shop) are non-refundable.

All custom orders will be started after purchase of your reserve or custom listing. Custom designs start at a minimum of $70. CURRENT PRODUCTION TIME FOR ANY CUSTOM ORDER IS 3-4 WEEKS.

-- INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING --
For international orders I use first class international shipping THREE WEEKS after you have purchased your item.
If you are an International customer, any duties and taxes will be the responsibility of the buyer. Our default shipping method for International orders will be USPS First Class International, which can take from 2-5 weeks or more.

We will not be responsible for lost, stolen or damaged packages.
-- ITEMS WITH DRIED FLOWERS --
We only ship items with dried flowers to certain countries. International shipping charges do not include any fees charged by the country I am shipping to. We are not responsible for any customs or country fees. It is the responsibility of the international customer to pay any and all customs fees.
We are not responsible for verifying whether customs will accept any items that are purchased from my store. IT IS THE CUSTOMER'S RESPONSIBILITY to verify with their country's customs office whether documentation like this is required.
We are not responsible for any items that customs will not accept into their country for any reason.
