Review on Premium Flojery Silk Hydrangea Heads with Stems - Pack of 10 (White) | Artificial Flowers for Home Wedding Decor by Terry Keown

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Absolutely exquisite. The cleaning took several days.

This was the only company I found that had a choice of white, off-white and pink in their champagne colour. I personally find that the variety of colors gives the hydrangeas a more realistic look, because that's what hydrangeas look like in nature, they're not the same colour. Anyway I LOVE the color and the way the petals are mixed with smooth and slightly textured just enough to give it depth. They really are amazing, especially for the price. The only major downside for me was the scraps of plastic that weren't cut from the molds they were taken from. Maybe some people aren't as picky as me or OCD, but there was a portion that needed trimming on almost every flower center, greenery, and stem. And with arthritis in both hands, it took me a few days to get them right; Remove any excess with tongs. Some people might not have noticed, but attention to detail is all I saw when I looked at her. It didn't occur to me to take a picture until I was almost taking them off, but I've attached an example, imagine it's 95% plastic centers. If you zoom in on the photos other customers have posted you can see the same extra bits of plastic on all the flowers and greens in the center regardless of the hue. Regardless of that issue, they are extraordinarily beautiful, so the smallest details are just a matter of how special you are. I really weighed the effort and time it would take to clean them against the aesthetics and quality; and I found it worthwhile taking the time because I have not found another hydrangea with the colors, beauty and uniqueness that these particular hydrangeas have. The stems aren't very good, but a quick twist of the flower ribbon easily solves this. Using florist's tape gave me the deeper green stem I was looking for and securely attached the stem to the flowers and each stem took no more than 60 seconds. I would definitely buy from this seller again, even if I had to clean them myself, at least I know what I'd be getting myself into this time. *If this review was informative, please click the 'Helpful' button below.
