We arrive back at the florists, opening the glass door to step inside. The iron bell on the top of the door chimes as we walk inside. Laughing at something Quinn had said we make our way over to the counter..Gilly spots us and smiles before ducking out from behind the counter to grab three miniature boxes. She places them on the counter and smiles happily at us.

Gilly 'I have a feeling your going to love all of these..just let me know if you'd like a combination bouquet.'

I smile at how certain she is but then frown with confusion as to what she means by a combination bouquet, surely it's not as simple as what I think it means?

Skylar 'So I could request a mix of all 3 if I wanted?'

Gilly 'Of course you can Sky. Your the bride after all, we are here to give you everything you want in your bouquet.'

Quinn 'I swear you forget that it's your day.'

I roll my eyes which makes Gilly laugh.

Gilly 'Right, let's get to the reveal. Shall we. So what I'm going to do is explain a little able to colours and flowers used in each bouquet before I lift up the boxes...that way it will help you appreciate them and give you an idea of what you like.'

Skylar 'Okay sounds like a plan. Ready when you are.'

Bouquet 1

Gilly 'So in the first bouquet we have gone with a colour scheme of pale pinks, white, green and red. I remember on the phone you'd mentioned you where having a beach wedding and your partners favourite colour was red. I used some large roses, berries, leaves in this one to keep thing elegant and simple.'

I wait patiently listening to Gilly explain every detail, so far I'm not sure what to expect. I love that she has tried to include aspects of the wedding in the bouquet and Bryan's favourite colour but it's sound a little too simple for me. She lifts up the lid to box number one revealing the first bouquet...

Gilly 'So what do you both think?' She asks her hands clapping together with excitement

Skylar 'It's beautiful.'

Quinn 'That it is but I'm not sure about you Sky but this to me doesn't scream you or Bryan. I just don't think it's the perfect arrangement.'

Gilly 'It's okay to say this ones not for you Sky, I'm not going to take offence. I promise.' She teases, I guess she can see my hesitation to say what's in my mind.

Skylar 'I really do like it but like Quinn said it's not screaming my name, I guess I feel like it's missing something.'

Gilly smiles and steps to the right, so she is standing behind bouquet number 2. I look over to Quinn who gives me a reassuring smile.

Bouquet 2

Gilly 'So in bouquet number 2 I've decided to change up both the flower variety and the colour scheme. I wanted to ensure you had a mixture of bouquets to choose from. In this one you will see the colours purple, white, green & pale yellow. The primary flowers are roses, daisies, Purple Statices, lilies and Babies breath. You had mentioned the beach and Hawaii as the location so we could change the tiger lily to the Hawaiian Lily if you'd like. I'd say that this bouquet screams elegance, love, grace & loyalty.'
