NEW YORK (AP) -- The wedding was lovely, except for the flowers: They were the wrong color.
So says the bride, Elana Glatt, who was so upset that she sued the florist and alleged breach of contract.
She says Posy Floral Design in Manhattan substituted pastel pink and green hydrangeas for the dark rust and green ones she had specified for 22 centerpieces.
Not only that, she alleges that the hydrangeas were wilted and brown, and arranged in dusty vases without enough water.
'The use of predominantly pastel centerpieces had a significant impact on the look of the room and was entirely inconsistent with the vision the plaintiffs had bargained for,' Glatt, a lawyer, said in the lawsuit, filed on behalf of herself, her husband, David, and her mother-in-law, Tobi Glatt, who paid for the flowers.
The flowers cost $27,435.14. The lawsuit asks for more than $400,000 in restitution and damages.
Stamos Arakas, the florist, said that he and his wife, Paula, tried to match the color of the hydrangeas with a picture Glatt had given them, but explained to her that the colors might not look the same.
'My father used to tell me, 'Don't deal with the lawyers,' Arakas said. 'Maybe he was right, God bless his soul.'

Re: bride sues over wrong flower color
i think when you spend 30k on flowers ...there should be no disappointment whatsoever

Re: bride sues over wrong flower color
i would think if you're spending $30k on flowers, the florist would have the consideration to call you and tell you it can't be matched perfect.
on the other hand, this is slightly bridezillaish - but warranted i guess

Re: bride sues over wrong flower color
I read this in the post yesterday... They did totally screwed up the flowers.... And, she's a lawyer (the bride) so I'm sure she was just not going to drop it after all the $$$ spent. The article in the post was detailed and HILARIOUS!
