This arrangement exceeded my expectations. Ive purchased four arrangements from Wayfair (hydrangeas, roses, and white heather), and this by far is my favorite. The size is very nice, its on the tall size. Im not sure if Ive ever seen white heather in real life before so I cant say whether it looks real or not, but the overall appearance is very nice. It gives off a rustic charm to any tabletop or mantle. The leaves are artificial looking though, but Im very pleased with this purchase.
