This is a gorgeous natural pampas bouquet - all of the other pampas stems I have are artificial, and the natural dried stems are stunning in comparison. HOWEVER; because this is natural, it is very fragile and sheds A LOT. Fortunately, a can of hairspray is all you need to keep the bouquet from shedding; regardless, you'll need to vacuum after you arrange these. That all goes with the territory of natural pampas though, so it's just something to be aware of. As long as you know this, you will be overjoyed with this gorgeous bouquet.
