Cornelia is the best! She cut Dahlias from her local farm the day of a hospitality event we were hosting. The STUNNING flowers were noticed and complimented by high-end designers and hospitality industry experts throughout the event.

I hosted a flower arranging class for my company at Cornelia's studio. Not only were the flowers we had to work with gorgeous and fresh from Cornelia's farm, Cornelia gave each attendee valuable tips and tricks to make stunning floral arrangements at home. Highly recommend!

I cannot express enough gratitude to Cornelia and her amazing team for the extraordinary job they did for my daughters wedding. We were awestruck! I think my daughter’s tears of joy when she saw her bridal bouquet indicates how amazed we were by Cornelia’s floral creations.
