Our wedding bouquets were horrible, the edges were brown and the flowers were withered. We are taking them to small claims court but I would like as much info as possible. They tried to tell us it was because of the humidity..........our wedding was on a fall crisp day.......funny.
Are there any florists out there? What makes a oriental lily turn brown around the edges?
As a gardener, you got old flowers (most likely), or flowers that weren't kept in water.
Probably she got the shipment too early, and didn't keep in a cooler. A natural part of aging is that they turn brown, wither and die. Also she might not have recut the stems after receiving them from her supplier. That would hurt water intake.
Oriental lilies naturally bloom in the summer, so I bet it was a supplier issue that she didn't deal with correctly.
Reply:A lot of times it could have been the air that caused the edges to turn brown. Stephanotis' do the same thing as soon as the air hits them then they start to turn brown. the best way to prove your case is to probably get a flower book at book store like hastings and look it up. the lilies also could have been bruised by just brushing up on them as they are very delicate flowers. either the florist would have done it or during transport or even during the wedding. Were the flowers refrigerated till right before you used them? So there are a couple of reasons they might have gone slightly withered. Most florists at least the one that I worked at try very hard to make sure that kind of thing doesnt happen or atleast tells the bride that they have a tendancy to do so.
