My daughter was thrilled with her delivery. She is a student at UChicago. Cornell sent her a picture of the flowers, and notified her when they had been delivered. I ordered online and trusted that they would create something lovely, and they did!

Cornell Florist made the arrangements for my wedding and they were so beautiful. I periodically order arrangements for home as well. Every time the arrangements are delivered it is a wonderful surprise to see what they look like. The workers are also very personable and do a great job communicating. Delivery is timely too.
