This craft is such a lovely way to connect with nature to create something beautiful you can display & enjoy. I can't wait to see how my pressed flowers turn out and display them in my hanging glass displays. I can't recommend checking out @pisarcik_flower_farm workshops enough! I celebrated my birthday here in the fall and can't wait to sign up for more events.

This flower farm is a mainstay at some local markets and I have seen their work at local events as…read morewell. They are a good distance from me, a South Hills resident, so I've never had the opportunity to stop out in person until this past weekend, when a friend arranged a group outing to make fall wreaths. We first stopped in their shop to pay for the workshop, which costs $100 each and last for about two hours. Your dried flower wreath could last for up to three years. It's a little pricey but it's a fun group activity and you are paying not only for the materials but for the experience and for the expertise of the trainer, who is so knowledgeable and even teaches this workshop at Phipps. Getting back to the shop, they have a lovely curated selection of small and local business merchandise and of course their own flower bouquets, $20 each and incredibly fresh with a unique selection of flowers. If I lived nearby I would stop here weekly to buy myself a bouquet. I also noticed they were selling full-size pumpkins for $6 and mini pumpkins for $1 which is an incredible deal compared to many other shops. We were allowed to bring our own food and drink to the workshop, which took place in one of their greenhouses. I noticed their stunning selection of herbs and flower pots growing there. For our workshop, we each started with a small wreath form and some moss type of material, then were taught how to create an outer layer and inner layer, then each selected dried flowers for the top. Everyone has varying degrees of talent with activities like this and I'm not shy about saying that my talent level is about grade school; some of my friends were producing professional-level stuff and mine was not that. But it is pretty and wonderfully fragrant, particularly with the eucalyptus we used, and I have hung it on my patio where it brings joy every time I look at it. I would highly recommend them both for their skill as a florist and for their workshops!

We ordered plenty of wine and appetizers for the table (reservation for 12). All fabulous. All delicious. Spinach Artichoke Dip. Calamari. Meatball Trio. They even brought a bowl of gluten free bread for our one friend who requested. For lunch, I had the Peperoncino Arrostito. Which was also delicious. Lots of fresh veggies and perfectly cooked/sliced chicken. Of course, we tag teamed a bunch of desserts too. Tiramisu. Fudge Brownie. Chocolate Chip Belgian Waffles. And I honestly would go back just to have those waffles again. The cutest part for winter though was the decor. Garland everywhere. Wreaths in every window. Stockings above the fireplace with employees names on them. Such a cute environment.

See, I have a lot of family, cousins in particular, out in this general area, and they get married in waves. Luckily there are no Bridezillas in our clan, since they are all perfectly cool with having a small weddings followed by informal receptions a few months later. Have ya ever worn jeans to a wedding reception? It wasn't a new thing to me, I'll tell ya, but it was to my girlfriend who was skeptical about it, and she was meeting my extended family for the first time! It took her an hour just to figure out what to wear only for everyone to tell her how cute she was and how well she carried off her pink blouse/denim pencil skirt/black leggings ensemble. Having a significant other shine at a family gathering is one of life's priceless gems. Luckily it went well, my family being astounded that I brought a date. That's unprecedented. There were little kids everywhere! On the roof! Under the tables! Climbing up the walls! I keep forgetting that all my cousins have kids and that they have kids of their own and that their kids even have kids in some cases! A fruitful bunch they are. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a hall. It was spacious, the staff was helpful, but when it's packed with people who share your bloodline, care about you even though you don't see them as often as you should, give you hearty, firm handshakes and hugs whenever you turn around, and dance, dance, dance at the sound of every beat without caring how goofy they're being sans any drama, you just can't give it anything less than 5 stars, can you?

I spent more time and attention on getting the issue resolved than I did to plan the whole thing. While the venue has potential, the lack of attention to customer concerns and the excuses instead of results left us feeling let down. I hope the management (owner) takes this feedback seriously to improve the experience for future couples.
