If you take a floral design class..

If you take a floral design class, your friend will wonder if you can make a bridal bouquet...

and chances are, if you can, she'll ask for some boutonnieres to go with it.

And when you give her the boutonnieres, she'll remember she has no need for a bridal bouquet or boutonnieres, so she'll probably ask you for a centerpiece for her table.

Then she'll probably ask you for a few different centerpiece designs as well...

When you've given her the centerpiece, she'll want to look at your other designs to see just how good you really are.

When she sees how charming the designs are, she'll think of her grandmother and want to give her a gift. So she'll ask you for a basket with small gifts and a bud vase of flowers to go along with it.

Finally, when she leaves, she'll notice that you have a beautiful wreath hanging on your front door and, chances are, she'll want one too.

So, you'll have to make her a wreath, with fake flowers so it will last forever, because she doesn't want to take care of it.

And when she arrives home and hangs the wreath on her door, she'll sit down to enjoy her beautiful flowers. Then the doorbell will probably ring.

Chances are, a handsome young man will be standing there admiring her wreath. And when she opens the door, they'll probably fall in love. So she'll call you up and ask for a bridal bouquet.... and some boutonnieres to go with it.
