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."
