I'm new to Pittsburgh and Hepatica was recommended to me by a cousin who used to live here; his friend used to work at Hepatica. I set up an appointment with Jerry and knew right away I had come to the right place! He was a pleasure to work with and helped me fulfill the vision I had. At the appointment he pulled some flowers that he had on hand and made a ""mock-up"" of my bouquet. I actually had more fun collaborating with Jerry on the bouquet than I did picking out a wedding dress!
For my May wedding I wanted flowers like sweet pea, peony, lavender, thistle, and ranunculus, and I was lucky that all of those flowers were in season. Jerry used a gorgeous star-shaped thistle and sprigs of lavender in the bouquet which I loved. I sent him the hem of my wedding dress after I had it altered (it was chiffon) and he was able to use part of it to wrap around the end of the bouquet and he secured it in place with pearl stick-pins and gold wire: stunning!
In order to avoid delivery fees I picked up the bouquet myself and kept it in my fridge overnight; Jerry gave explicit instructions on how to keep the bouquets fresh overnight. His suggestions worked and the flowers remained beautiful for the entirety of my wedding day. I could not be happier with the whole Hepatica experience and would recommend them to anyone looking for breathtaking flowers and exceptional service!
