These flowers are exactly the shade as shown in the picture and are a great size. Currently located on my bar counter so its not so beige and boring. The only thing that was a little tiny bit upsetting is I assumed (never a good idea) that the flowers would be full all the way around but i fount that on one side of the vase the flowers looked almost smashed towards the opposite side of the vase. However its not that distracting. I figured that it would be hard to package and ship something delicate like these flowers. Overall happy with these beautiful flowers!
