Okay, so I finally caved and bought these faux magnolias after seeing them all over Pinterest. Here's the tea:

First impression? GORGEOUS. The petals have this creamy ivory color with just the right amount of yellow-orange in the center. They look so real that my mom actually tried to smell them when she visited!

The stems are super flexible - I bent mine into this cute arching shape for my entryway vase. And can we talk about how THICC the leaves are? They've got that perfect waxy texture like real magnolia leaves.

Only downside? The stems arrived kinda stiff (probably from shipping) and one leaf popped off when I was arranging them. But honestly, a little hot glue fixed that right up.

For $20? Absolute steal. They make my basic white girl apartment look like a Joanna Gaines project. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who wants pretty flowers without the maintenance.
