I bought about 15 cedars 3 weeks ago for a hedge. Initially they
looked nice and green. But since planting, I've noticed they're
turning brown.

These are white cedars (swamp cedars) and came bare-root (well with a
very small root ball). I planted them into a very well amended soil.

I didn't expect transplant shock, since they were already bare-root.
In fact they have a much more comfy home now then they did in the
garden center!

By white cedar do you mean Thuja occidentalis or American Arborvitae? And
how small a rootball for what size tree? Were they B&B or containerized?
What has your weather been like and how well have they been watered?
Difficult to address your problem without knowing some details.
