I was really reluctant to buy silk flowers online, but this arrangement has proven that you really can buy beautiful flowers without seeing them in person. I suggest looking closely (zooming in) at any arrangement to see how the material looks up close. I debated about a different arrangement, and Wayfair's zooming tool helped me see that this one was superior. We bought the cream version for our purple bathroom, and it provides a nice contrast and softness. Great quality vase -- very heavy -- and the arrangement arrived in perfect condition. I'm sold and will be back for more.
