A friend and I are having a fall shower for a young lady who attends our church. We didn't want Halloween or Thanksgiving decorations. These plates were the perfect, fall color to coordinated with our other decorations. The color in the plates is very accurate, exactly as shown in the picture. The plates, however, are not as sturdy as I had hoped. I also feel the price was higher than I would liked to have paid if I could have found them locally. And even though I am an Amazon Prime member, I had to pay shipping to get what I wanted.
