The Cornelia McNamara Flowers team created beautiful arrangements for my local Chicago wedding at…read morePromontory Point last July! It was important to me to get flowers that didn't have a huge environmental impact, so finding Cornelia McNamara and her Chicago flower farm was a dream come true! I loved that all the flowers were grown locally and didn't have the huge environmental footprint of flowers that are flown in from warmer climates. Because this is a local business, the process for ordering was less formulaic than it is at other florists. Instead of filling out an online form and picking from a few arrangement options, I emailed and talked with Cornelia directly, shared my inspiration pictures, and trusted her team of professionals to do an amazing job (which they absolutely did!). Thoughtful details like having the boutonnieres use magnetic fasteners and having the corsages on beautiful diamantine bracelets that were easy to take on and off made everything seamless. Even when I made a last minute addition of ten centerpieces two weeks before the wedding, the team was super accommodating and everything turned out beautifully! While these flowers were not the cheapest option available, working with someone who cares deeply about her craft while simultaneously caring for her employees and the environment made picking this vendor a no brainer. I highly recommend Cornelia McNamara Flowers to anyone who is looking for beautiful flowers and wants to feel good about the values and impact of the Chicago flower farm creating them.

Hiring Miriam was one of the best decisions my fiancee and I made while planning our wedding. As we…read morewere paying for the majority of it, we wanted to find beautiful flowers (for centerpieces as well) without costing a huge amount of our budget. I knew I could trust Miriam to make our day look amazing. She puts genuine love into her work and it shows! Our flowers were gorgeous and even after a week my roses still look brand-new. Everything was delivered in a timely manner and working with Ooh-Ahh Floral couldn't have been easier. Once we spoke about what I could afford and the look I wanted, Miriam took care of it all after that. I didn't even have to worry about a thing flower-wise. Thank you Miriam for taking some stress away for our wedding!

At some point last year I got fed up and said next time I bought flowers it would be from someone local. Mother's Day 2021 arrived and I needed to order flowers. Quick searching brought me to Town & Country Gardens. I ordered flowers from the website and there were plenty of delivery options for the upcoming days. I asked for it to be delivered the day before Mother's Day (Saturday). Sure enough, it showed up on Saturday. Not only was it on time but the quality of the flowers were excellent. My wife was impressed. Roses were the size of my fist. Very pleased with how they turned out. Yes, Town & Country Gardens is a bit more expensive than 1-800-Flowers. But I spent a little more to get higher quality out of a local business. Seems like a win to me. I'll definitely be using Town & Country Gardens as my go to shop for flowers.

I explained that I was getting married in two days time and wanted wildflowers, not formal flower arrangements, at my rustic-themed wedding. I was ready to buy whatever she had, but Jodie very kindly suggested that if I could drive to her farm the next day, she could provide me with however many bundles I needed, fresh. My maid of honor very quickly volunteered to pick them up. The next day, Jodie was ready with sixteen bundles of flowers, all prepared and wrapped with small bags of water. I hate to admit that we cleaned her out! She went above and beyond to find a great mix of flowers that went well with our color scheme. They were stunning, and exactly what we wanted! If you have the opportunity to meet Jodie at either the farmer's market or her farm, I strongly recommend that you do, as she is very willing to help, and has a beautiful selection of flowers.
