Lawyer Elana Glatt was married recently in Manhattan and has now sued her florist for $400,000 because he allegedly substituted pastel pink and green hydrangeas for dark rust and green. These substituted flowers apparently clashed with the linens, favor boxes, and the wedding cake. The cost of the flowers was $27,000. The florist responded to the suit by saying his father told him, “Don’t deal with lawyers. Maybe he was right, God bless his soul.” And on a personal note, as the father of three daughters, we will be happy with any color and any bloom available, and $27,000 is out of the question.
