Bride Sues Florist for US$400,000
Elana and David Glatt have filed a US$400,000 suit against an Upper East Side florist, charging it caused them “extreme disappointment, distress and embarrassment” on what was supposed to be the greatest day of their lives by providing the wrong-colored hydrangeas for their Aug. 11 wedding.
In papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, the Glatts and David’s mom, Tobi, charge that Posy Floral Design Studio used cheaper pink hydrangeas instead of the contractually agreed-upon rust hydrangeas, messing up the color scheme of the deluxe wedding at Cipriani 42nd Street.
The flowers cost $27,000. The lawsuit asks for more than $400,000 in restitution and damages.
Posy owners Paula and Stamos Arakas were stunned by the suit. “I can’t believe this. I put my heart and soul into this wedding,” a teary-eyed Paula told The New York Post. Stamos blamed the “completely unwarranted” suit on Glatt’s lawyer bride, Elana, referring to her as a “Bridezilla”.
What do Hydrangeas look like?
Hydrangeas are popular ornamental plants, grown for their large flowerheads, with Hydrangea macrophylla being by far the most widely grown with over 600 named cultivars, many selected to have only large sterile flowers in the flowerheads.
