Re: H221464 Peony Arrangement .......Disappointed !!!

I’m happy everything turned out to your satisfaction.  The arrangements from this line look so lovely, but my house is so packed I honestly have no place for a large arrangement.  I might be tempted to get a much smaller arrangement though and find a spot somewhere!

 

@Annabellethecat66, Our Lily, who passed last year, was pretty good about avoiding fresh flowers.  But she so loved silk flower arrangements!  Go figure.

Re: H221464 Peony Arrangement .......Disappointed !!!

the TSV hyndrangeas were not real touch at all. Plastic stems. Not at all what I expected. I really wanted the jar to put a candle in so put the hydrangeas in a vase I had that you cannot see through but they were definitely not worth the money.  I have some real feel hydrangeas and they cost far less and have a better color also.

@Kitty Galore   Have you ever thought of buying faux florals and making your own arrangements?  I do it, and have made some gorgeous arrangements, if I do say so myself.  I have many real touch, mostly polyester as they look and feel real, and make them for all seasons, so every three months, I make new arrangements, of course,  you could make one or some, and leave them up all year.

@mousiegirl  No I never put together an arrangement,   I have rearranged ones I've purchased though.   It might be fun  to try my hand at it though.     I like your idea of changing them out for the seasons.

I too buy faux flowers and greenery and decorate seasonally in different areas of my home.  I especially love my fall decor, for some reason that season turns out the best!  It is fun to arrange the floral and it does make me feel good.

 

I ordered one thing from Peony which is lovely.  However, today on lunch time specials there was a peony arrangement in a blue and white vase which was reasonably priced.  Peonies are my favorite flower so I ordered, the vase is worth it to me.

 

Happy decorating to all!
