    Yellow leaves can be caused by a number of things. Typically in houseplants, it is either underwatering or overwatering. Water when the top of the soil feels dry, but to do let the soil dry out all the way. This article will have some other causes for yellow leaves: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/environmental/plant-leaves-turn-yellow.htm

    I would recommend that if you are growing plants for a specific (and important) event like a wedding, that you have a backup plan.

    If you are just now planting these and they are a new planting, it is unlikely that they will be able to bloom successfully for you. There is a chance, but the first year a plant is growing, you will often see fewer or even no blooms than when compared to an established plant.

    A larger plant will be more likely to produce the flowers you need when you need them, but, again, if you are planting these new, larger plants are more likely to suffer from transplant shock and die.

    That's normally what follows the flowers turning green, and it means the plant is entering a dormant stage. If yours didn't turn green first, another possible cause could be that the edges of the flowers are getting sunburnt from too much direct light (if you're in a warmer climate). Keep in mind even though the plant might be indoors, glass magnifies the heat.

    Curling leaves are an indicator that the plant is not getting enough water. While you may be watering regularly, the water may not be penetrating the rootball. You should try soaking the pot in water for 5-10 minutes to make sure that the rootball is hydrated and so it will properly take water in again.

    Also check the plant for pests. They may be sucking water from the leaves, which would also cause the curling.
