{"title":"Shower in Snowy Chicago","description":"\u003cp\u003eFirst of all, I am not a professional florist, but I was having a baby shower for my niece  (who is expecting a little boy in April), and I decided to order flowers for the centerpieces instead of relying on grocery store flowers.  My order arrived in two separate shipments on Thursday and Friday during a BLIZZARD in Chicago!  I was worried that the flowers would be frozen, but I was worried for no reason at all!  The flowers arrived a little tired but perked right up after only 8 hours in water.  They EXCEEDED my expectations - they were unbelievably lush and beautiful!!  The roses were absolutely gorgeous - huge and perfect.  The delphinium, aster, thistle and Peruvian lilies (alstroemeria) added the perfect \"wild flower\" touch to my arrangements.  I \"greened\" everything on Friday and added the focal and filler flowers Saturday night before the shower on Sunday.  I had more than enough flowers and greens.   I was even able to make 3 wrist corsages for the grandmas and the mama-to-be early Sunday morning.  These photos are from my phone, and they certainly don't do the flowers justice!   I received so many compliments, and my niece said she has never seen such gorgeous flowers.  Thank you to 50 Flowers for the emails, texts, and phone calls.  I am one happy amateur florist!!\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/1083\/1962\/collections\/wow--very-pleasantly-surprised-314e042.jpg?v=1657070213","url":"https:\/\/stage-fifty.myshopify.com\/collections\/shower-in-snowy-chicago.oembed","provider":"Stage-Fifty","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
