“I bought 8 stems of peonies and immediately sent a message on Instagram asking for certain shades which disappointingly still hasn’t been acknowledged after 17 days. The automatic updates on shipping were appreciated. When the flowers arrived I was a bit underwhelmed. They cost close to £100 for 8 stems with a 15% discount code so they’re a premium product but they sadly didn’t feel premium. They came in a reused box which was far too big and most of them had strings and beads of glue on them which I had to spend time picking off; something I wasn’t expecting to do. The heads were squashed and shinier than I expected; they mention not using shiny materials as it’s a telltale sign the flowers are artificial. If it were free to return and had they been shipped in a suitable box, I would have sent them back. The cost of the shipping would have been high and there is no guarantee they would have accepted the return. When deciding if I liked them, I put them in a vase and cut the band grouping 6 of the 8 stems; they only accept returns if the band holding the bouquet is still intact. The band would have cost just a few pence but because I cut it, it wasn’t certain a refund of nearly £100 would have been accepted.
Overall they’re OK, I’m not completely unhappy but I don’t think I’d buy more which is a shame as I had plans for multiple arrangements and gifts. For the price point I expected more and I certainly didn’t expect to have to pick off glue gun residue from every stem. I would liked to have received a reply to my message to make the experience more personal as the website promised but unfortunately I didn’t have any response.”
“Great website and very user friendly to buy online. Flowers are gorgeous in my restaurant and everybody comments on them. I've passed on web details to several people. I will definitely buy from Amaranthine again.”
“Great range of products, I bought the pink peonies and was very pleased - very realistic and reasonably priced especially with the 6 for 5 offer. Easy to use website and they arrived speedily and well packaged. I will use them again next time I want more faux flowers”
“thoroughly pleased with the quality of the flowers. I have already repurchased from the website. Even my husband was satisfied with the appearance of the "faux" flowers.
Thanks!”
“I recently purchased a bouquet of peonies on behalf of my Dad for my Mum’s birthday present. They arrived very promptly and well packaged.
They are absolutely beautiful and can be displayed in my terminally ill Mum’s room without fear of anyone spilling water everywhere. Highly recommend.”
