I bought these flowers to make centerpieces for a wedding and to really experiment with. I wasn't disappointed when they came. The flower arrived in a timely fashion and packaged well. While they weren't jammed into the box, some of the flowers were smooshed. As I mentioned, I really wanted to see what I could do with them. I recommend this flower for arrangements that hide the back because neither the stem nor leaves are eye catching. The leaves are simple construction paper glued to the bottom of the blossom. If you look at the ad, you'll see that they do not hide this, but they don't really disclose it either. Again, for kissing balls or bouquets, this isn't really a problem. If you're looking to expose the stems, you may want to look at other options. The flowers are made of a very nice foam and are pleasant to the touch - however, because they are made of foam they float. If you're thinking of getting them to submerge, don't. The are very buoyant and float to the top unless you have a heavy anchor. I used 10 glass beads as an anchor for one rose and it still floated to the top. While submerging I did find that they perk up and the smooshed petals ironed themselves out after drying. This is up to your discretion. The red didn't run after being fully submerged, but I didn't do it for an extended length of time. I've added pictures and hope this helps some. Overall for my intended use, they are fine.
I was absolutely thrilled with the quality of these flowers! even up close, you would think that they were real! I assumed that they would have been of a lesser quality, since they were inexpensive, but that's not the case at all. I was able to make almost all of my wedding flowers with 3 packages. I purchased 2 of the Ivory color, and 1 of the Peach (Blush), and they are so gorgeous! My wedding colors are Blush and Ivory, and these will fit perfectly! They are so easy to work with, and very forgiving. They come packaged in plastic, but I really didn't need to tug on the petals very much, just squeeze the base of the flower, to loosen it up. I have now recommended these flowers to anyone that I know getting married, and I will definitely be purchasing additional flowers from this company to finish all of my wedding decorating! Thank you for such a great quality flower at an affordable price!
They are perfect for my center pieces. My only issue is that only 16 out of the 50 flowers came with the green leaves. The rest are plain. Not a flower without the green leaves. I would like for Ling's to please send me the remaining leaves. I also just purchased 2 more boxes(50 count) in hopes of getting more leaves. I hope I can get my problem resolved as these flowers are perfect once they are complete.
***Update March 22, 2018***
First off I want to say thay these flowers really do look real. They are perfect for my center pieces. I had an issue in regards to the lack of leaves, but Lings replied to all of my emails in a timely manner and they were able to take care of my issue. I believe they have updated their info in regards to the leaves. The leaves they originally send are only complementary and if you want more they are sold separately. Flowers are great and even purchased more after this first purchase, but I will continue to purchase these flowers in the future.

I love these flowers! I ordered them to make brooch wedding bouquets as I am allergic to real flowers. They arrived quickly, they were a little smashed inside the box which worried me but as soon as I took them out of the packages they expanded to nice full of blooms and have been really easy to work with. They are fairly large blooms, it took approximately 20 to 25 to create a small bouquet and about 35-40 for the larger Bouquet. They have a plastic smell right out of the bag but they air out pretty quickly. I'm going to use a small essential oil diffuser pad within the bouquet to give it a pleasant smell.
The artificial flowers are so pretty. Perfect gift for mother's day, although a little early. When searching how to make this, I had difficulty on the size and amount. However, 50 pcs are perfect for a 6 inch foam ball and 5 1/2 inch opening vase (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000ZLDF24/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_12). A size reference for anyone who wants to make this as well. I don't really write reviews but have to for this one. LOVE IT!!
I ordered these in red for my wedding because I am working with a limited budget. The red looks great, especially for the price. I need white as well, but they're currently not listed. I hope they are listed again soon because I really don't want to try another vendor's flowers as I am very satisfied with the quality of these.
Update: I've finally finished my toss bouquet & it looks great! I'll post pic later of the bridesmaids bouquets which I'm doing in white. The white flowers look great!
Update: The white flowers look great in my bridesmaids bouquets! I'm overjoyed!
These foam-like flowers look incredibly real. I used (roughy 1,000) to create a 8x4 flower wall. It came out beautifully.
Looked so amazing at my wedding, i loved them so much! My guest loved them too and even had offers to buy my decorations the second after the reception was over! I made my bouquet out of them as well! Absolutely love them and will be purchasing more for around the house!
