I ended up buying 11 of these bouquets!  The flowers are pretty and full and not 'cheap' looking at all.  In fact, they could be mistaken for real flowers in the more natural colors. (but not what I call "fantasy' flower colors that are not true to nature's own colors).  That being said, the colored flowers (the teal, blue, etc) are very pretty and if you are looking for that splash of color with flowers, these will do the trick.  I've noticed some people mention the 'rubber' stems.  Well...they are intentionally wrapped with 'rubber' so they have a more 'bouquet' look to them.  These could easily be used as bridesmaid bouquets...just add a pretty ribbon and you are ready to go.  The stems are also long enough that if you wanted to use them in an arrangement (as I did), you can disassemble and use them individually.  **I am an experienced Floral Designer, and I approve of this message/review** :-)
