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!!!

Weddings are by far the most flower-oriented events in the world. Many people don’t realize that flowers have meanings. Botanica does!!!
