I bought these hydrangeas for my daughter's wedding 6/1/13. They were so beautiful. I had them delivered 2 days before the wedding. They came in boxes as described with tiny water bags around the stem. We cut the stems at an angle, cut down the bottom of the stem and dipped them in alum, as directed by a florist friend. I put them in 5 gallon bucket with plenty of water. We stored them in our cool basement. They did fabulous in that location. They held up wonderful for the reception. However, I would not recommend them for bouquets unless you can keep them well hydrated and in a shady spot.It is 3 days after the wedding and most of them still look good. I was super pleased with them! Would definitely order again!

I ordered two orders of the hydrangeas for my sons wedding and they were BEAUTIFUL! Arrived on time and were in excellent condition upon arrival! I could not have been more pleased! This was our best purchase for the wedding and I woud recommend them to everyone! They lasted for over a week in late August! We decorated the tables and had ample flowers for several additional arrangements!

I received the blooms on time and they were in perfect shape. I followed the directions exactly as the flowers were thirsty when they arrived. I trimmed the ends and gave them plenty of water. No one could believe I bought them online and for such a great price. Really couldn't be more pleased.

The Hydrangeas arrived in morning of day scheduled. Easy to follow directions on how to freshly cut stems and rehydrate. Absolutely beautiful!!! Huge white hydrangea heads. Color matched well with our Akita white roses. Ordered to be delivered and received on a Wednesday to arrange in centerpiece bouquets for a Friday wedding dinner. Flowers lasted in arrangements for 10 days!!!! Kept entire time at room temperature and did not refridgerate. Can't beat the price and amazing quality. A+A+A+A+A+A+A+

Do not hesitate in purchase these! They arrived on time, Thursday for my Saturday wedding. I was a bit worried when I opened the box to see them packed so tightly but when I trimmed them and put them in water every single one fluffed out and was absolutely beautiful within 10 minutes, as seen in the photo! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

I ordered these to arrive on Wednesday before a Saturday wedding. (An extra day over the recommended time as my floral designer suggested it) Once they arrived, we brought them to the church where the wedding and reception took place and immediatatly put them in ice water. After icing the flowers immediately, we then cut the stems as noted in the video and then put them in buckets of ice water. We had about 10 buckets of hydrangeas (we used blue and white). We set the air conditioning to about 68 degrees and turned a fan on the buckets. Each day, we added ice and water to the buckets. The flowers perked up beautifully! We lost maybe 5 total (blue and white) before the wedding day. It is now 15 days after the wedding, and some of the flowers are still holding up. As long as you follow the directions, I feel that you will get good results. PS- I tried to load pictures but kept getting an error.

I was very pleased with the price and look of the hydrangeas. They arrived on time. Yes, some did die overnight, but i did contact sams and they issued me a refund for one whole order. The blooms are just as described. Because of how big the blooms were, I used less than I originally planned for. The centerpieces turned out beautifully. Thank You!

I ordered thirty stems for a Saturday wedding. They arrived on the Wednesday prior. The majority of the flowers heads were brown and smashed. The flowers did fill out after being trimmed and placed in water but the brown spots never went away making them unsable. Luckily I also ordered garden roses which were beautiful and only had to replace the hydrangeas with other flowers from the local florist at the last minute.

I ordered these hydrangeas to be used in the bouquets and arrangements for my wedding flowers. I, like everyone who orders something online, was a little worried that they would turn out bad but I couldn't have been more wrong. I had them delivered on Thursday for my Saturday wedding. i was worried we would have to wait around all day for the delivery but they arrived at 10am! When I opened the box i was shocked at how great they looked after all the travel and they looked even better once they perked up. Each stem had a little bag of water attached so they were kept hydrated. You won't regret ordering these beautiful flowers. No one could believe they were from Sam's!

I read reviews over and over before I decided to order these and I am so glad I did. I have told everyone about how beautiful and long lasting these have been. I ordered them to arrive as recommended on Thursday before our Saturday wedding. I used single stems in small round vases, some in a larger round vase and three for my bouquet. Almost all have lasted for 4 weeks! I will definitely find a reason to order more flowers in the future!
