The brazen bride ransacked a local garden to gather free wedding flowers for her reception…

A bride has been caught stealing from a private garden in an attempt to save money on her wedding flowers ninehoney reports.

The owner of the house and garden said that she was horrified when she woke up and discovered a number of expensive and rare flowers had been severed from her plants.

A Step Too Far

Sharing her story on Facebook, the gardener said that every rose in her garden had been taken as well as a number of other plants and pots.

“All I could do was prune the roses back and try to coax them into blooming again,” the woman wrote on Facebook.

It wasn’t until weeks later that an observant neighbour noticed that a wedding she had attended featured flowers suspiciously similar to those stolen from the garden.

“The tip-off was the petunias and impatiens in my very distinctive, white painted flowerpots being used as centrepieces,” she said.

Piece By Piece

As the woman listened to her neighbour, she began to piece together exactly what had happened to her garden.

“The bride apparently passed my house and saw my bloomed up garden,” she said. “(She) went out a couple of days before the wedding and cut all of my roses and took pots to use for her wedding.”

Despite her brazen behaviour, the bride was only handed a $50 trespassing charge and expressed no remorse for her actions.

“They’re just flowers. I needed flowers for my wedding and you have a whole yard full,” she said.

We can’t believe this bride’s total lack of concern or consideration for the garden owner. If you can’t afford flowers for your wedding, find other ways to decorate your venue!

  • This would make me so mad. The love and care that goes in to an entire yard blooming is far more than $50. They need security cameras and to name and shame with evidence if it happens again.

  • It’s not the point she has so many flowers in her garden it’s all the work she put in to get them there. Always asks before using what’s not yours.

  • Wow! That theft and punishable surely. A knock on this ladies door and a conversation of how beautiful her garden is and maybe even asking this lady if she could borrow her pot plants and pay a sum for her blooms. The owner may have even liked the idea that her blooms would make a brides day. But NO! Just trespass and STEAL what’s not yours EVER and showcase your stolen FLOWERS. What a shame people are like this. Shame on her! At least the lady who owns the garden will have BLOOMS forever the Bride may not have a long marriage based on lies and theft! KARMA is a Bitch.

  • I would be so upset if someone took flowers from my garden without asking, but i do love when kids walking by pinch a few for themselves. It’s very special to see their joy.

  • Wow that’s unbelievable. If she really wanted to save money she could have spoken to owner and asked first. A lot of people put so much time, effort and money into their gardens. That is just really unfair. We saved money on our wedding my making as much as possible. We used fake flowers that my main made into the bouquets and put some glitter and things on to match our wedding colours

  • Sorry, but $50 for trespassing doesn’t seem right to me. She should have been made to work for a couple of months in the owner’s garden as part of her reparation. That way she might get some idea of how much hard work goes into the garden and finally become remorseful. Otherwise she will go on to worse things in the future.

  • That’s just theft pure and simple. I hope the lady got her pots back at least. I’d rather go without flowers than resort to stealing them. Here’s hoping everyone who went to her wedding found out just how low this bride was. My late husband and I started buying the alcohol and decorations a few months earlier and the reception was at his Mum and Dad’s house. The flashiest thing we had was a limo which was lent to us by a family friend. My MIL made my dress and the photos were done by another family member and it was all donated. Once again I think that bride needs to be named and shamed.

  • She clearing had no moral compass.

  • This is wrong and so rude. Clearly she hadn’t organised flowers previously as you wouldn’t wait until a couple of days prior. Just disgraceful. Maybe if she’d actually asked, she may have given the owner the opportunity to provide/sell her some flowers. I shopped around to get the best price for most things for our wedding.

  • Stealing is such a sad act, not only is it criminal but also totally selfish and inconsiderate
