    Great florists!

    My husband and I hired Botanica for our Ringling wedding in Sarasota and we couldn't have been happier! Their team was helpful, accommodating and friendly. Zoey was super creative and flexible. Roxanne and Johnny came to my location to get decorative pieces for my bouquet and they were so nice. It was nice to see them in action with my bouquet and to hear how much fun they were having. My So happy to have had them on our big day.

    The Dream Team

    I cannot recommend Botanica Design Studio enough. They were absolutely incredible to work with. They go above and beyond for their clients, and created the perfect backdrop for our wedding. The flowers were stunning, and they worked with me on my budget and my somewhat unconventional wedding décor style. I would hire them again in a heartbeat!

    A dream!!!!!

    From start to finish, our entire experience with Botanica was absolutely exceptional! I highly doubt we would have ever had such a delightful and enjoyable experience working with any other vendor. We started working with Botanica back in 2019 and from the very beginning, Zoe was the sweetest and easiest person ever to work with. We sat down with her at our design consultation and after giving her our thoughts and ideas, she immediately knew how to bring our vision to life. After that, we eventually received our design proposal packet and were amazed by how detailed and beautiful everything looked. We couldn't even imagine what it would all look like in real life! Unfortunately we would have to wait another year to see it all come to life because our wedding was originally supposed to be on 10/3/20, but we ended up postponing till 10/9/21. Throughout all the craziness and changes, Zoe and the entire Botanica team were so kind and understanding. They truly helped us get through such a stressful time. All in all, over the years we made many tweaks and changes to our proposal. Zoe guided us every step of the way and really helped put everything together to bring our dream day to life. The flowers at our wedding were absolutely STUNNING and I couldn't have dreamt up a more perfect day. We truly can't thank the entire Botanica team enough!!!

    The dream team!

    The Botanica team is incredibly talented and so easy to work with – they really went above and beyond to make sure everything looked perfect! Margot and Zoe helped walk us through every step of the process, and they put together extremely detailed plans for the proposal (including plenty of example photos) and our final choices. We wanted a hanging structure with greenery and flowers for our indoor ceremony, and it turned out even better than we could have imagined – you can tell that their team is really passionate about what they do. You'll love working with them!

    Botanica - exceptional from start to finish!

    Botanica exceeded my expectations from the beginning of our relationship and I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about them. Throughout the entire process the Botanica team was extremely responsive, helpful and such a joy to work with. Whenever I had a question or needed guidance, they were there to provide their opinion and additional suggestions when necessary. I never questioned the team and Botanica and knew throughout our wedding planning process that I was in the best hands with Margot and Zoe. Aside from communication and the planning process, the day of execution was flawless. The team and designers at Botanica completely understood my vision and delivered. I received so many compliments throughout our event and days later on how beautiful the florals and the table arrangements were. Botanica was there from start to finish — to guide, support and execute a gorgeous event and I will happily recommend them 100 times over to anyone who is in the market for such services. Thank you, Botanica team!

    Best florists you can hire

    We hired Botanica to do the floral arrangements for our wedding weekend - and they did an INCREDIBLE job! The entire staff is insanely professional and organized. They responded promptly and knowledgable to all inquiries. I really appreciated that my wife and I had a few ideas when we first met them, and after our first meeting with two of their planners, we walked away with some themes and ideas for incredible and unique arrangements. During our wedding day, they worked discretely to make sure everything was perfect - they even made me a back up boutonniere when mine needed attention. I would absolutely recommend them and hope to use them again for other events.

    Ian Prosser, AAF, AIFD, PFCI, NDSF*, is simply brilliant. I’ve been familiar with his work for almost a decade, so I wasn’t surprised at all — but my wedding guests had never seen anything so spectacular. It was so fun watching them running around and snapping photos with the decor. I work for the floral industry and definitely had my choice of “suitors” for my wedding flowers, but the choice was obvious. When I close my eyes, I can still smell the tent at my reception — it was full of garden roses, gardenias and jasmine vine. My husband immediately remarked that it felt like we were in a botanical garden. In addition to his floral expertise, Ian helped me make smart decisions regarding colors, table linens, flatware etc. The end result was perfection.

    I had the pleasure of working with Ian, Zoe and Margot for my wedding this past weekend, and they were INCREDIBLE! The flowers and displays were more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. For the past few days, I've had guests contacting me and asking me who did the flowers, because they were simply stunning! The experience was seamless, magical and surreal! They even brought in my mom and I before the wedding to see samples of the designs they would create for our wedding. I told them my vision, and they brought to life! I recommend Botanica and their team of experts with the highest regard! Thank you for an amazing job!!!

    One of the best decisions I made was hiring Botanica for my Wedding. I shopped around and received quotes from six different vendors. I was very specific with my budget and what I wanted in regards to floral and design, but was open to the designer’s interpretation. They came back with a very detailed and well thought out proposal. Their proposal really impressed me because I am not super familiar with flower names. They actually had the flower’s name with a photo on their proposal, making it a lot easier to visualize what the arrangements would look like. They invited me to their studio for a mock table setup, where they showed what one of my reception tables would look like. Zoe from Botanica was so accommodating! She and her team were willing to alter their design based on my preferences. At our Wedding, I was completely blown away. Their florals and décor were so stunning beautiful, my jaw literally dropped when I walked into the room. Everything they provided; bouquets, table décor & ceremony arrangements well surpassed my expectations. They were truly amazing and unforgettable. I highly recommend Botanica and would hire them again in a heartbeat.

    Botanica did an absolutely fantastic job of bringing our floral dreams to life, both for the Rehearsal dinner as well as our Wedding Day! I had a view in my mind of certain aspects, that I was hoping for-- but the end product was above and beyond my expectations! Zoe and Margot were amazing to work with, from the first email sent, to the excitement and anticipation leading up, and then to the reality day of. I would recommend Botanica for any event-big or small, they do a fantastic job every single time. No matter what style, color pallet, specific flower, design feature that you wish for, Botanica will deliver.

    Thank you so much to the entire Botanica crew, you were perfect!

    Our wedding was a fairy-tale wedding thanks to Botanica! Our floral decor were all so beautiful and our guests cannot stop raving about how beautiful the arrangements were. Zoe is so accommodating and really makes your vision come to life. She is very detail oriented and makes sure you get exactly what you ask for. Our wedding was a destination wedding so unfortunately our guests could not take home the arrangements, but Botanica donates any remaining flowers to the hospital which really made my husband and I happy.

    I worked with Zoe and Kellie a lot and they are both such sweethearts and you can tell they really are passionate about what they do. The whole Botanica team is amazing. I really appreciate how easy they were to work with and what a great vendor they are. I will say there were a couple of things that didn't turn out exactly the way that we had talked about but I was so happy overall with the flowers and that it didn't matter to me. The bridesmaids bouquets were supposed to have ivory ribbon but had blush which was a little off from the bridesmaids dresses blush color but it looked fine and was not a big deal. The flowers themselves were not exactly as I had pictured with the open, wide concept so that when everyone holds up their bouquets they flow into each other. However, the flowers were gorgeous and I loved the bouquets anyways. I did have to cut the stems of of my bouquet because they were so long and I had requested that the bouquet be wide and open with criss-crossing stems and provided a photo of a bouquet like that and they were very tight and long. We clipped them a little bit so they weren't quite as long but were exposed and it was fine. Overall the bouquet was absolutely stunning and I can't stop looking at it in photos. The centerpieces turned out beautiful. They do a sample viewing of your centerpiece which I loved and was a big reason I picked them so I could see the centerpiece before the wedding. They show you the middle price tier and you have the option of going cheaper or more expensive. They do say the centerpiece won't get smaller if you go cheaper, just less full, and I did feel that they were smaller. BUT just like with everything, I loved them anyways and they turned out beautiful. The arch they created was stunning and better than I envisioned. The cake flowers we agreed on were different but it still turned out beautiful. I am overall thrilled with Botanica and would recommend them to someone wanting a beautiful wedding!

    Zoe at Botanica is fantastic! We had a hard time finding examples of what we had in mind and we were trying to use a unique combination of flowers and colors, but Zoe captured it perfectly. Everyone commented on how beautiful the flowers were and about how they have never seen that combination of flowers in our color palette. I wish I could have kept them forever in my home - everything was stunning, down to the tiniest details on the boutonniere! Everything was soft and feminine, but definitely had the "WOW" factor. I am a perfectionist, and Zoe very patiently worked with me until the centerpieces and place settings were perfect, and they were. Also, Zoe designed the centerpieces for the rehearsal dinner, which had a completely different but equally stunning look and fit that *very different* venue perfectly, as well! Thank you, Zoe!

    Botanica truly made my wedding vision a reality. I didn't do much with decor at the wedding, so I was heavily relying on the florals to make up for minimal decor. Zoe, Kellie, and the rest of the team at Botanica was wonderful to work with throughout the entire process! They were all so kind and flexible. Whenever I had questions, they would get back to me almost right away. They made my whole experience so easy, and I couldn't believe how incredible the venue looked for our wedding! I can't get over how stunning the flowers were, and my bouquet was to die for! From the beginning I felt like Zoe was on the same page as me and what I had in mind, and I am so thankful they were our florists, because they really did make our wedding so incredibly beautiful! Thank you girls for everything you've done to help me along the way and for making our wedding day so beautiful!

    After my initial meeting with Botanica, I knew right away that I wanted to use their services for my wedding. Ian completely understood my vision from the very beginning, and his enthusiasm made me feel even more excited! Kellie was so, incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. She was always readily available to answer any questions I had. I was so happy when I saw the reception space the day of the wedding - I couldn't have asked for anything more perfect! It was exactly what I had envisioned, but even better! I received so many compliments on how gorgeous the flower arrangements were. Botanica truly went above and beyond, and I cannot thank them enough!!

    Botanica was an outstanding choice for our wedding florist. After researching a number of florists and narrowing down a few to meet with, Botanica really listened to our vision and was genuinely excited to share in the day with us! Their excitement, honestly, was what sold us on choosing to work with them for our big day. From the beginning, they were easy to communicate with, share ideas, and help to bring our very specific vision to reality. When we walked into the ceremony and reception, we were awestruck. The work that Botanica had done truly took our breath away. Our guests enjoyed the evening so much more because of the personal touches that Botanica included. During the planning process, we were able to share our story with Zoe of Botanica and got to know her and her team as individuals. Our wedding became a project among friends. The love they put into their work and preparation really shined as we entertained and celebrated the event. Thank you for going above and beyond, Botanica!

    I work in the industry and work with a lot of amazing vendors, but when it came to choosing he we were going to trust on our special day I knew it was the Botanica team. They are truly so talented and pleasant to work with. Their designs stand out and I could always tell as soon as I saw a setup that it was theirs. They take a classic look and put a twist on it. I gave them very little direction as I did not want to hinder their creativity and I am so happy that I did. I knew without a doubt that I could trust them to put together an exquisite design, and they completely nailed what I was hoping to achieve it the look and feel of the ceremony and reception and completely surpassed my expectations! Zoe, Ian, Kellie, Athena, and Jordan (and the entire team) were absolutely amazing. So professional and organized, and just easy to work with. I can't thank them enough for everything they did to create such a breathtaking and memorable day for us!

    Botanica International Design Studio provided flowers, decor, draping and furniture for my daughter's wedding two years ago, so when we were planning her baby shower for her first child, we naturally turned to them again. The stunning florals, decor and linens they provided absolutely transformed my home into a beautiful venue for our celebration. Botanica is so invested in the entire experience from start to finish, and always go way beyond expectations to create a magical event. There are no words to express enough thanks for what they provided! I highly recommend Ian, Zoe and the entire Botanica team for any special occasion. You and your guests will be delighted in every way!

    Botanica meet and exceeded all my expectations. We used them for flowers and décor. From our first call Zoe was amazing to work with. I feel like she jumped in my head and was able to pull our exactly what I was thinking of. She created a pin board for me on pintrest and I was sold. I loved everything she pinned and knew she understood my vision. Then when we walked in for our previous I was blown away. It literally took my breath away and I just LOVED everything! Then when I walked into my ballroom my vision and dream came true. In my opinion, my wedding was the most beautiful wedding I have ever seen thanks to Zoe and Botanica! Highly recommend this company, they are a true gem to have found!

    We absolutely loved our experience with Botanica! Excellence is the word to describe them! We approached 4 different florists and Botanica was the most professional, creative and friendly people we met. Zoe and Kellie were wonderful to work with. We did not know much about flowers so we totally trusted Zoe. Everything was just perfect! What I love about Botanica is that they have a 360 vision. They provide more than just flowers: they provide furniture, linens, chairs, decor etc... and you have an expert making your dream wedding come true! Zoe created a pinterest board for me to show me what she had in mind and I was impressed but our sample viewing! It was better than I expected!
    We had a venue with different rooms and Zoe created a different ambiance for each room within our color palette. The ceremony, reception and bridal party flowers were absolutely gorgeous and we had so many compliments on the orchid foliage that was the focal point above the dance floor, located under the tent.
    Another plus, Zoe is so quick to respond to emails and phone calls! We all know how stressful it is to wait for responses while planning a wedding. She also coordinated everything with the reception and church which made our wedding planning so smooth. Regarding the budget, she always thought of an alternative if something did not fit.
    I highly recommend Botanica and would definitely work again with them for any future events! Thank you Botanica for making our wedding such an amazing day!

    We absolutely loved our florals from Botanica! Zoe was so sweet and accommodating to work with! I was stunned how easily she was able to capture the exact image and colors in my head perfectly. Absolutely gorgeous! :)
