One of the things I read about the situation was that the florist said they'd try to match the color she wanted "as best they could." That sort of gets them out of any specific performance, but who knows what the true contract was.Flibbertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14814796033630554918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-31163139030739730672007-10-17T10:25:00.000-06:002007-10-17T10:25:00.000-06:00Oh, if someone is charging her that much for flowe...Oh, if someone is charging her that much for flowers, she deserves to have them done correctly. <BR/><BR/>But, really. I can't wrap my head around any of it; the amount of money spent on the flowers, the wedding. Oh, my head might explode.<BR/><BR/>I think you are sympathetic, and professional and expect others to be professional as well.

If you need rust-colored hydrangeas (or whatever) to be happy on your wedding day, then that is a problem right there. But do I think the florist was wrong to use a totally different color and type of flower than agreed upon? Yes. Do I think it ruined the wedding or should have ruined the bride's day? No. But maybe I would have had different feelings if the flowers at my own wedding hadn't been fantastic (and less than $1000, I think).-R-https://www.blogger.com/profile/03106445268257079599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-20808274966887689772007-10-17T09:51:00.000-06:002007-10-17T09:51:00.000-06:00Jess,I emailed you the sand ceremony stuff, but m...Jess,<BR/><BR/>I emailed you the sand ceremony stuff, but my email froze right after I sent it - let me know if you didn't receive it.

But I had <I>no idea</I> until the florist dropped the flowers off. The flowers he substituted for the boutonnieres were so small, I asked him to go back out and get a rose to beef them up a bit. <BR/><BR/>It would've been less stressful if I had known ahead of time that he wouldn't have been able to fulfill my request, instead of finding out on the actual wedding day, when I already was stressing out.<BR/><BR/>So I feel the bride is justified to sue, although I'm not too sure if the amount is reasonable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-74850651855352868092007-10-17T08:32:00.000-06:002007-10-17T08:32:00.000-06:00Is it me, or do flowers seem to be the most-often ...Is it me, or do flowers seem to be the most-often screwed up wedding element?<BR/><BR/>I agree with you, for the amount of money she paid, she should have had what she wanted. Obviously I would never motivate to sue, but I don't think she's totally out of line (obviously mental and rich, but not out of line).Tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18085712930407611861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-2327761527661672402007-10-17T08:29:00.000-06:002007-10-17T08:29:00.000-06:00My florist pissed me off on the big day too.

No babies breath, no greenery. Just white daisies tied up with a yellow ribbon. The flowers arrived with, you guessed it, babies breath and greenery. I just picked out the crap I didn't like, and vowed to express my anger when I returned from my honeymoon. I did no such thing. :-)LoriDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07646658618955664778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-72011132580209933032007-10-17T08:22:00.000-06:002007-10-17T08:22:00.000-06:00I think it's totally justified to sue.
