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.

I do not understand how anyone can spend that kind of money on a wedding. I could not live with myself.
Sounds like the bride needs to be de-flowered.
“with his 35mm camera.”
That’s so, last millennium.
Plane tickets to St. Thomas - $2000
Thrift store white dress (my lovely bride’s idea) - $5.00
Minister’s fee - $45
Not worrying about arrangements, flowers, guests, wedding party, reception, etc. -— priceless.
We spent the money that we saved on a really fantastic honeymoon!
“A wedding reception is a social function that is judged by many that attend.”
And half of the wedding reception couldn’t care less unless there is a man in attendance who is a botanist. Heck a large number of guys are colorblind. Don’t believe me, see how a guy sorts laundry into darks, lights and whites.
Insofar as laundry is concerned, some men are not very detail oriented and could not possibly care less if their colors bleed or if the polyester or finer cotton gets pills and pulls because it rubbed against the denim in the washer or dryer. Heck, there is probably even a few who don't care whether the stuff they wear is clean at all. Somehow I imagine that they know what color that shirt or those underwear are ... they just don't particularly care about separating them.
My comment about laundry was more for the married people. My wife and I have discussion on what is light and dark all the time.
The fact that this girl would sue a florist for $400,000 over a $27,000 job, speaks volumes about her.
You are a lucky guy, but I think you already know that.
Ebullient, huh? Sounds racy to me, and do I ever like computer tips. They are always so welcomed. Re: flowers. I could hold one in my teeth.
Hmmm. How is it that everything I say sounds racy to you???? (a man of discernment, I can tell)
A B C D E F G H I J K L.....
yeah, I thought so. :D
Re: “Bride sues over flower color”
I feel sorry for the groom that’s stuck with this piece of work. He’s probably p-whipped to the Nth degree... poor guy.
