A judge has granted a court decree to a second disappointed bride over a Co Clare based artist\u2019s failure to preserve and frame her wedding bouquet.<\/p>\n
At the Small Claims Court at Ennis District Court, Judge Alec Gabbett granted a decree to Cork woman Laura Sexton for \u20ac225.50 over the failure of artist Charlotte Bradley, trading as Lush Pressed Flower Art of Laghtagoona, Corofin, Co Clare, to preserve and frame her wedding bouquet.<\/p>\n
In her claim submitted to the court, Ms Sexton said she loved her wedding flowers and had also planned on leaving some of them on her late grandmother\u2019s grave.<\/p>\n
Judge Gabbett said he will also direct Ms Bradley to return the flowers to Ms Sexton.<\/p>\n
The judge said to Ms Sexton: \u201cIt is all I can do for you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Judge Gabbett\u2019s order follows six months on from Co Louth woman, Michelle Markey weeping in court before him over not being able to get back her \u201cpriceless\u201d and \u201cirreplaceable\u201d wedding flowers back from Ms Bradley.<\/p>\n
Ms Markey of Oriel Rd, Collon, Co Louth told Judge Gabbett: \u201cMy priceless flowers. I gave them away \u2014 I would have kept them if I had known I would never get my wedding flowers back.<\/p>\n
\n \u201cI do have evidence to show that this is not an isolated incident and reviews on a website show that this has happened to other brides.\u201d\n <\/p>\n
Judge Gabbett said that \u201cwedding flowers hold sentimental value, some people put them on their mother\u2019s graves\u201d.<\/p>\n
In that case, Judge Gabbett granted Ms Markey a decree of \u20ac200 for the replacement of the flowers against Ms Bradley.<\/p>\n
In Ms Sexton\u2019s case, Judge Gabbett said to Ms Sexton \u201cyou had a wedding bouquet to preserve and to press the flowers into a frame. You are owed money \u2014 it never happened.\u201d<\/p>\n
Judge Gabbett said: \u201cI have had a number of these cases and Ms Bradley responds that she is happy to refund you \u20ac175.\u201d\n <\/p>\n
Ms Sexton said that she would dispute the amount owed and that it is incorrect.<\/p>\n
She said that the correct amount is \u20ac225.50 after a voucher is taken into consideration.<\/p>\n
Judge Gabbett asked Ms Sexton did she want the flowers back and granted the decree for \u20ac225.50.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cI am not sure as Ms Bradley said that the art piece was ready \u2014 she was over and back looking at it and she wasn\u2019t entirely happy with it.\u201d<\/p>\n
In her formal claim, Ms Sexton of Rylane, Cork said she \u201cwent to the trouble of wrapping my beautiful flowers the day after our wedding on April 11, 2024\u201d after a date was booked with Ms Bradley.<\/p>\n
\u201cI understood that the artwork might take some time to complete but was not prepared for the subsequent delay and complete lack of communication on Ms Bradley\u2019s part,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe has been predominantly uncontactable\u2026 I am left frustrated and hugely disappointed.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A judge has granted a court decree to a second disappointed bride over a Co Clare based artist\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":284578,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[75],"tags":[781,27,18,117,19,17],"class_list":{"0":"post-284577","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-cork-news","9":"tag-courts","10":"tag-eire","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-ie","13":"tag-ireland"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/115895544266556050","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/284577","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=284577"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/284577\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/284578"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=284577"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=284577"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=284577"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
