{"title":"I promise, you can do your own flowers!","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfter getting price estimates from local florists, I initially accepted that we couldn't afford to have the flowers I had dreamed of for my wedding.  Then my mother suggested we do them ourselves... I initially thought it was a crazy idea, but I came around to it!  We supplemented the flowers we got from FiftyFlowers with roses and carnations sourced locally.  However, FF was so reliable; I can't recommend them enough!  For our centerpieces, we used thrifted milk glass and silver vases. We also had arrangements attached to our wedding arch (floral foam + zip ties = awesome). With no experience, I was pretty intimidated, but everything came together quicker and easier than I anticipated.  I did 85% of the work myself with assistance from a few family members and it took probably 2-3 hours to prep the flowers when they arrived (trimming and watering) and maybe 5-6 hours putting everything together.  Overall, I'm happy with how they turned out, and guests were stunned by how little we paid for such gorgeous flowers. Would 100% do again!\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/1083\/1962\/collections\/i-promise-you-can-do-your-own-flowers-8463b8e-700.jpg?v=1657067466","url":"https:\/\/stage-fifty.myshopify.com\/collections\/i-promise-you-can-do-your-own-flowers.oembed","provider":"Stage-Fifty","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
