Nearly Natural Peony & Hydrangea Silk Flower Arrangement

Honestly, I was very skeptical about this purchase. I bought it as a gift for someone that wanted a deep red/burgundy flower arrangement. There weren't many choices that fit her specifications and the other choices had worse reviews, so I took a gamble and chose this one. Turned out to be a good choice!Unlike some other reviewers, mine came in a perfectly-sized box. It wasn't crushed at all and there were no wrinkles on the petals. I bent a few stems a tiny bit and floofed a few petals to make it a little less crowded, but only spent about 2 minutes getting it to look like the picture.It DOES look like the picture, IMO. The size matched the description as well.I wouldn't say it looks 100% "real", but that is mainly because you wouldn't find peonies, hydrangea and berries growing together on short stalks in a planter like that. (Cut flowers would go in a vase, not a planter, right?) But, that rather obvious fact aside, it also doesn't strike me aesthetically as being totally fake or cheap looking either. The designer used some fairly effective nuances in the colors/textures throughout.So is it worth $60? I think so. Decent artificial flowers are not cheap. Would I put this arrangement out if the Queen of England was coming over? No, probably not. Undoubtedly the $300-$400 ones available elsewhere are a little classier. But I think this one is perfectly respectable for the price.I should say that the berries give it a little more of a holiday vibe than I was hoping for. But the recipient was quite happy with it and will be decorating with it year-round.

Rich burgundy color with exceptional design and quality for winter or all year long depending on your decor. This is the 15 inch version. I also bought the 12 inch version for my dining room table. Love them!

Just received this and it is not anything close to the picture. it is so ugly and worn out looking that i had to trash it immediately. it is the worst purchase I ever made. DO NOT BUY> IT'S A WASTE OF MONEY

Perfect for my formal dining room table colors are bright

The flowers are not as pretty as the picture I saw . It’s ok but, not one of my favorite arrangements..

The reason for giving this floral arrangement 3 stars is because, although it is quite beautiful, it comes so squished that it takes a long time to make the flowers look normal. The box it comes in is obviously too tight so the flowers mold to a flattened shape and its a tough job to get them to fluff up. Also, there are bald spots in the arrangement. I had to purchase silk flowers to fill out the arrangement so it looks right. That cost me $10 more because I got them on sale at Michaels, so add that onto the original cost of the arrangement. You will not want to send this as a gift before fixing it up with added flowers and fluffing the flat ones up. It is beautiful now and I'm happy with it, but it took quite a bit of effort to make it lovely.

Silk flower arrangements that don’t look “cheap” are very expensive, so when I purchased this one, for a relatively reasonable price, I was very happy. I took the time to gently fluff the flowers and bend the leaf stems so the arrangement looked full and I think looks great on my dining room table. I recommend this product.

Well ... A disappointment on many levels ... Overpriced even on sale! I can't believe the cost was $102.00 on sale for $50.00! This is a $10.00 arrangement and I question that price. Price aside, if you purchase you will need to bend and adjust each flower, the berries are plastic and bent. Since there is no wire, they remain bent AND the leaves are attached by glue upside down!The glue used has melted along the stems and when touched melt in your hands. The heads of the flowers fall off the stems; good luck getting them back in each stem and I was handling them gently! I drove to Walmart and purchased 4 large cream colored magnolia flowers, I should have purchased 6 like the woman that did this in the photo; another $12.00 and still counting as I add to this pathetic arrangement. All said, this arrangement is a mess, I think my arrangement had been returned several times and I was lucky enough to get it now. 😕
