Bride caught out stealing flowers from her neighbour's garden for her wedding

The bride didn’t return to the scene of the crime, but she did share photos on social media. In those photos the gardener could spot loads of her flowers.

‘The tip off was the petunias and impatiens in my very distinctive, white-painted flower pots being used as centrepieces,’ she explains.

‘But then the photos of the bridal party…. a bride and two bridesmaid carrying bouquets of pink, white, and yellow fully bloomed hybrid tea roses… including the pale yellow Amelia Earhart roses.’

When the gardening woman investigated more, she found out that the bride had passed her house, seen the garden, and returned under the cover of darkness a few days before the wedding to steal the flowers and their pots. So it wasn’t a spur of the moment decision.

The bride was never charged with theft, just trespassing, and received a $50 fine.

‘That rose cost $300 and had to be shipped from across the country,’ wrote the woman. ‘She butchered the plant so badly, it STILL hasn’t fully recovered.’

‘If she had just knocked on my door and asked, I would have gone out and cut her all the flowers she needed and offered to loan her my flower pots and charged her far less than what a florist would have charged.’

Harsh move, bride.

Comments in the group have been fiercely on the gardener’s side, even asking her to name and shame the bride (although we’re not sure what that would achieve).

Brides to be, we know flowers are pricey, but please don’t yank them out of someone else’s flower pots.
