Botanica International Design Studio

The flowers were incredible! Our centerpieces, ceremony decor, and bouquets where bright, colorful, and plentiful. Amazing work!

Ian and Zoe of Botanica are some of the most delightful people to work with! They went above and beyond and exceeded all my expectations! They made all my wedding decor dreams come to life! Any bride that works with Botanica I can promise will not be disappointed and trust me I am a perfectionist! We were so lucky to be able to work with such talented and truly amazing people! Thank you Botanica you all are amazing!

Ian, Zoe and Jessica all worked with me on my recent wedding. They were patient, understanding, very responsive and overall AMAZING! Ian is brilliant at what he does and I trusted him 100% to take make our vision come to life in the most spectacular way.

The team at Botanica went further than that though and managed to exceed this perfectionist's expectations! Our flowers looked like something out of a fairy tale (I had multiple guests say that to me). I can't thank Ian, Zoe and Jessica enough for everything they did to make our day perfect and the room just fabulous and beautiful!

Botanica was absolutely fabulous to work with for my wedding. They truly made my day beautiful and it was even better than I could have imagined it would be. They had such a clear vision of how to make my event special and were wonderful at commuicating all the details to me. I never once worried about the quality of their work and would absolutely recommend them to anyone. I hope to use them again soon.

So perfect! Everyone at Botanical was so great and the flower arrangements were absolutely amazing!!! I would recommend Botanical to anyone looking for the perfect touch to their event. They listen to your ideas and make them a reality. They really surpassed our expectations! Thank you to everyone at Botanical for helping make our special day so beautiful!

Everything Botanica did for our wedding was fabulous! The flowers were gorgeous and the linens they provided us were exactly what I wanted! Zoe was a delight to work with and helped me bring the wedding I envisioned come to fruition! She even was able to make some suggestions for other vendors in my search for different aspects of my wedding. I would definately recommend Botanica and their crew to handle any other party I ever choose to have!!

Zoe, Jess and Ian are amazing and did such a wonderful job with our wedding! Our flowers, decor and centerpieces were so beautiful and definitely exceeded our expectations. Zoe was so much fun to work with! She had such great ideas, was quick to respond to emails and did a wonderful job communicating all the details to me. We couldn't have asked for more. I would highly recommend Botanica for any event!

I traveled from out of town for my wedding at the Florida Aquarium so I chose my flowers sight unseen. I could not have imagined that my flowers would have been as beautiful as they were. I explained my vision and trusted in them to make my dream come to life which is a little nerve wracking. Needless to say, I was impressed! I am so grateful to the Botanica team for making it a seamless process from start to finish. Everyone thought the flowers were beautiful.

We can't thank Zoe, Ian and the entire Botanica team for turning our dream into reality. The flowers were more beautiful than we ever imagined. The quality of the flowers was unbelievable, perfectly opened with the brightest of bright colors! We were BLOWN away!!! The placement and visual beauty of the decor elements was absolutely breathtaking. We received numerous, numerous compliments regarding the sheer beauty of our reception and owe much of this to Botanica.

Zoe and Ian are incredibly professional, talented and provided unending dedication to our wedding.

Everything was wonderful! THe flowers and tables were amazing and everythin I hope they would be!! My only suggestion would have been to space the couches out a bit more on the outdood terrace area. I though they were placed to close together/

The quality of the flowers was beautiful. They were the backdrop of my wedding.

Botanica was recommended by the reception venue (Dali Museum). We used them for personal flowers (bouquets and boutonnieres); reception table arrangements and special lighting. We were extremely pleased with everything! All flowers were beautiful and unique. The decor with the lighting was exquisite and exactly the style we requested. The staff (Zoe and Jessica) were extremely responsive and professional.

I could not have had such an amazing day with out the help of Zoe, Ian, and the Botanica Team. They made the planning process so simple and fun. I was amazed at how beautiful my bouquet and bridesmaid's bouquets were. Seeing the flowers and decor at the reception, they completely exceed my expectations and vision. We had so many compliments on how amazing and beautiful the wedding was. Thank you very much for creating the wedding that I could only dream about.

Botanica is amazing! We got so many compliments on our flowers, bouquets, and lighting! We had our reception at the Dali Museum, and they were able to create arrangements and lighting that fit perfectly with our unique style and the cool contemporary style of the Dali! It looked beautiful and their customer service is fantastic. Zoe was so helpful and nice! Can't recommend them highly enough. They are awesome!

Botanica did a wonderful job! We were so thrilled with the bouquets and the table arrangements, as well as the palms they had scattered throughout the event space to define it and hide certain details (like our band set-up) during the ceremony (since we used the same space). Ian did a brilliant job of coming up with a concept that matched our style and the bridal party's attire. I also liked that he took my initial idea of hurricane candles as a centerpiece and made it more special by proposing mercury glass hurricanes, which looked amazing as the sun was going down. When I saw everyone together, the floral really made everything come together and gave it a great pop. I chose Botanica despite knowing they were higher end because I knew I would get a terrific result and wanted to prioritize quality over quantity. They didn't disappoint. Ian, Zoe and their entire team are wonderful and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a unique and personal floral style to their event.

Breathtaking. Staff from our venue commented that they had NEVER seen the venue so completely transformed and decorated. I am not even big on flowers, but they stole the show at our wedding. Ian and Zoe were an absolute DREAM to work with. Ian LISTENED to every word I said and he genuinely wanted to deliver an event that was unique for me and my groom. The decor turned out better than I ever could have even envisioned. My friends and family were in awe of the reception room. I loved my bouquet. They were able to adapt the decor on the day of the ceremony to accomdate the crazy wind conditions- my guests even compared them to Ninjas because they were so quick to fix anything that blew over. The visual component of my wedding was stunning from top to bottom. I am SO HAPPY that I found Botanica after having to fire another florist that didn't provide great service. They just made the whole event amazingly reflective of my groom and I and that was just the greatest thing for us. You won't be disappointed with this talented team!

First, let me start out by saying I wasn't even sure if I would write this review. I provided all of my other vendors with 5 stars so it is very difficult for me to write a less than stellar review.

Let me start with the one of the best parts of my wedding, my flowers were absolutely beautiful and exactly what I had envisioned. Everyone kept saying all night how big and beautiful our flowers were and that they had never seen such great flowers. You can tell Ian has been doing this for a long time and understands the big picture when it comes to weddings. Meeting with him for our first consultation was an amazing experience, he not only helped us determine our flowers, but the whole environment of our wedding, what people should wear pictures, etc. It could have just been a very busy time for Botanica and that they were transitioning the management from Ian to Zoe. But with all of the good, there were also some not so good aspects of my experience with Botanica.

First, I was traveling from out of town with my parents and fiancé to meet them on a Saturday and they called me days before to cancel. I was so upset, because I had family fly in from out of town to meet with a few vendors that day. I ended up having to meet with them one day earlier, but my fiancé wasn't able to come because he had to work that Friday. I should have known then to be more cautious moving forward.

The second time I met with them only Ian was in attendance and we discussed all details, flowers, bouquets, centerpieces, cocktail hour, rehearsal, etc. But Zoe was the one we worked on the details of our contract and some of that information we discussed with Ian did not make it into our contract. I think that it can be difficult to have one person write up a contract based on a conversation that was not witnessed. Also, when we went to our second consultation we were not informed they had moved locations, so we were driving around and calling people to figure out where to go. When we arrived, no one was there. After the long trip, weused the restrooms, got some water and then started opening doors to find someone. Eventually we made it back to their warehouse where someone was able to help us.

We hired a day of wedding planner who was great and caught a lot of errors in our contract for the wedding. For example, we wanted different color table linens for the cocktail hour and reception and Zoe was under the impression they would all be the same. And the table linens were not the correct sizes/counts, because we had both square and round tables. However, our wedding planner was only hired for the wedding and not the rehearsal dinner. Somehow, I never caught that the rehearsal dinner had the wrong day listed, no date on our contract. And so we ended up with no center pieces for our rehearsal dinner, which was almost as big as our wedding because it was a destination wedding. Wait, our hotel vendor did provide centerpieces, but they looked like hotel center pieces at an end table (because they were.) I understand that I should have caught the error, but no one from Botanica ever called to apologize and explain the situation to me. They ended up refunding us a very small portion of our money, but that was after my wedding planner, my step-father and I had to speak with them to negotiate. And their reason for the small refund was because they did deliver our rehearsal flower to us on the day of our wedding. However, delivering flowers two days later for the wrong event does not make up for the huge error that occurred after numerous small customer service errors. And in all honesty, I would have been okay with no refund but it was more so the way the situation was handled. Flowers were a huge part of our budget and I did not expect mistakes such as this to happen.

Looking back, no one knew except for us and everyone still thought our flowers were beautiful. Overall, I would still recommend Botanica, but make sure you pay close attention to the details of your contract, and go thru it numerous times after each meeting.

The staff at Botanica are incredibly helpful, experienced and creative! Not only does Botanica produce incredible floral arrangements, they are able to help you shape the look and feel of your wedding. Ian, Zoe and Jess were amazing and I couldn't have asked for a better company to work with!

Botanica was amazing!!! I could not have pictured more beautiful flowers - they literally took my breath away! Ian and Zoe were extremely professional, helpful, and had great ideas for decor.

Everything was beyond beautiful, unique and perfect. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Botanica for any event.

We cannot say enough about Botanica, Ian and his team. Everything was absolutely perfect! They were so amazing, creative, and extremely patient with us! They were able to work with our budget and their fees are more than fair! If you are unsure of flower types, or how to imagine the final product, just trust Ian's judgement. We are so glad we did. He saw our vision and put together the most beautiful centerpieces, tables, and decor. We were absolutely blown away by the exquisite work done by Ian and his team when we got a 'sneak peek' of the room! The time that they took and the attention to detail was certainly noticed. Our guests are still raving about how beautiful our decor and flowers were and we could never thank Botanica enough! On top of the stunning flowers provided, they are fun to work with!
Thank You for making our special day so beautiful!

Botanica did such a great job for my wedding ceremony and reception! I could not have dreamed of a more beautiful wedding day. I worked with Ian, his assistant Brittany, and Zoe. They were all such a delight to be around, and made my wedding day dreams a reality. I knew this company was perfect when with their two studios, one located where I lived to meet at, and the other in the town I got married in to work out of come the big day. Ian really knows his stuff about decor and floral needs for an event. Do yourself a favor and go with Botanica, no matter the event. Come the big day, you will not need to worry about a thing because they will have it under control.

I cannot begin to describe how perfect my flowers were for the ceremony and the reception. Absolutely stunning. Ian actually picked the colors for my wedding and I was amazed how perfectly he got my personality and my vision without me even knowing it. I highly recommend their services!!!

the final product was more beautiful than anything I could have ever imagined. the floweres were gorgeous. the overall design and aesthetic came together perfectly. truly exceeded my expectations. i love ian and the botanica team. simply amazing. amazing!

Ian and Zoe were amazing to work with. The bouquets were beautiful, ceterpieces were amazing. I felt like I was walking into a fairytale.

The flowers were beautiful, however, my favorite elements were the table decorations at the reception. They did a fabulous job creating exactly what I wanted (even better), with sea elements like coral and starfish. It looked amazing and I received many compliments. Bontanica was also very flexible with making some last minute cuts to accomodate my budget. Overall, I was very impressed.

I thought that Botanica did an excellent job with my wedding. The flowers were fresh and gorgeous. I can't believe how long my bouquet held after the wedding. Fantastic experience!

I just wanted to take a moment to thank Ian and Zoe for the amazing job they did on my centerpieces and my ceremony arch!! I thoroughly enjoyed everything from the planning session, to the mock-up, to the event execution. I couldn't have asked for more!!

Ian has an amazing creative ability and did a great job of listening to my ideas/vision and transforming them into a final product.

Also, I wanted to mention what an impeccable job the team did on the wedding day. We had to move the ceremony location at the last minute due to weather. They worked so hard to move everything to our alternate indoor location...I was so impressed.

I couldn't have asked for a better overall experience! Thanks Ian, Zoe, and team!!

Absolutely beautiful flowers!! Botanica exceeded my expectations! When I walked into the reception and saw the arrangements, I was blown away! They were fuller, taller, and more gorgeous than I had ever imagined they would be. They even smelled great! Ian and his staff were super helpful, and pulled together exactly what I envisioned, even though I had trouble explaining exactly what I wanted. They were quick to repond to emails, and very friendly in our meetings. I highly recommend their services!

Working with Botannica was such a great experience!
Ian had great ideas to contribute to our vision and worked with us to achieve exactly the look and feel that we wanted for our wedding. The finished product was amazing!

Thank you so much for all your help with our wedding. I had a vision for our wedding and you exceeded my expectations. Your creative genius took my vision and made it a dream wedding. Our guests are still talking about the flowers and tables. The best part is there were no worries on our wedding day because of your unbelievable service and reliability. You took care of all the smallest details well beyond the flowers allowing us just one point of contact for a breathtaking ceremony and wedding. Our wedding was so beautiful, it was like something you see on television. We are still looking at pictures in amazement. Zoe was always quick to respond to our requests and ensure everything was taken care of. I couldn’t imagine having a wedding without your creative talents combined with unprecedented service.

Ian was amazing to work with for my wedding! I went in knowing nothing about flowers and not a clue of what I wanted except for colors and he put together the most beautiful arrangements I have ever seen! The church and reception looked like a dream!

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!! We kept our floral decor to a minimum since the space at the Tampa Museum of Art is so contemporary. We asked for modern, simple, elegant flowers and Botanica delivered! They suggested orchids to keep with the architectural feel of the museum and it was a perfect fit.

The flowering branches used for our alter arrangements were the right mix of color, height, and fullness. They filled the area wonderfully for pictures. The bridal bouquet, maid of honor bouquet and flower girl flowering ball were created beautifully. I'm having my bouquet professionally dried and arranged to preserve it forever.

Zoe and Ian were responsive and easy for me to work with. They had creative and unique ideas that were appropriate for the style of wedding we wanted.

Ian is absolutely the best. I wasn't able to find exactly what I was imagining in a magazine, but Ian took all the pieces and put them together into one breathtaking picture. He came up with the term "French Garden" as a theme, and the rest started to fall into place with topiaries and gold rimmed glasses. It was visually spectacular.

I can't say enough about the work of Botanica International Designs. Ian is so personable and remarkably in tune with what his clients want their event to look like. He completely GOT every aspect and then some of what I was envisioning for my wedding day. The art of design that he and his design team put into their arrangements and bouquets stands out above the rest. They are willing to work with you on prices and they truly make your event special & unique. This company is very professional and it shows in their work. For any events my husband and I have in the future, I will only use Botanica!

although botanica is one of the more expensive florists in the tampa bay area - you ABSOLUTELY get what you pay for!!!! we approached them with a very unconventional decor agenda and they responded beautifully! thanks so much botanica - we dont think anyone could have done a better job.

No one even needs to read my little review to know the brilliance and delight of Ian! He is so great to work with - he never lets an opportunity to laugh pass him by. His arrangements are gorgeous. When they showed me a sample of what we would have at the reception I realized that I wanted to change my color scheme to be a little bolder. Right away he pulled in flowers and created exactly what I hoped to have. He is fantastic.

Botanica was wonderful to work with. Our flowers looked like something you would see on Platinum Weddings! We did a half tall, half short arrangement for the reception and they even suggested using Green Goddess lilies instead of white callas, and they looked amazing!

The only thing was that the stephanotis in my bouquet and in my husband's bout wilted very quickly, so maybe I would have liked silks for those instead.

I took my bouquet home after the wedding and put it in a vase and they stayed beautiful for almost a week until we left on our honeymoon.

They were great to work with and I would definitely recommend them.

Everything was perfect and exceeded my expectations - truly one stop shopping for all your floral and event design needs. They were able to arrange for your florals, linens, chairs, lounge furniture, fabric draping, and pretty much anything else you can imagine. Then you have less to worry about on the big day because they know your vision and they execute everything flawlessly! If I could give them more than 5 stars I would!

Ian and Zoe are simply wonderful to work with! Everyone of my guests were truly impressed by my flowers and decor, especially with the 15ft crystal and orchid tree that Ian put together! My bouquets were perfect and exactly what I wanted. I would recommend Botanica to everyone!

I loved working with Ian - he was fantastic! My flowers were exactly what I wanted - and so beautiful!

Ian is a mastermind! the entire team was involved and made choosing and desiging flowers soooo easy and exciting! the day of the wedding they were they providing the best service and every piece looked like a dream! Anything I needed, any questions or concerns, they met with kindness, quickness, and excellence!

What more can you say other than WOW for the florist of the inauguration and many celebrity events. Well worth the $$ and fabulous! :-) He is an utter genius thats all there is to say about it. He created a Preston Bailey centerpiece for us that was right out of a movie. AMAZING!

Our experience at Botanica was amazing. My initial meeting with Zoe and Ian was so great - I felt completely comfortable with their vision and recommendations. The flowers were absolutely beautiful. I would HIGHLY recommend Botanica for your event's florals!

Ian and his staff at Botanica were so wonderful to work with and I was so lucky to have them help create a beautiful wedding day for me. From the very first meeting I was so impressed with how creative, warm and helpful everyone was. Ian is extremely talented and I loved all of my flowers from the bouquets to the centerpieces and even the rose petals he had floating in the fountain.
One side note that people should know is that even though Botanica is hired by governors, celebrities and even presidential staff, his fees and extremely competitive and fair. You get every bit of value from the money that is spent.

Botanica was exceptionally creative and flexible in the design of our tables and flower arrangements for our wedding. We had a very specific idea of what we wanted, which they replicated perfectly!

Botanica was out-of-this-world amazing, professional, creative, and fun to work with. What's hard to find with wedding vendors is someone with good taste, but Ian has wonderful taste, design, and exceeded my expectations.

Ian and Zoe did a wonderful job with all of our flowers and linens! Ian is amazing and can create anything. My flowers were exactly what I was looking for and more. You will love Botanica!!!

This is a great company and a pleasure to work with. Not only were we pleased with our flowers and decor, but we are still getting complements on it from wedding guests.

Botanica was wonderful to work with and they made the wedding. Everyone loved the atmosphere that was created by them for us. We wanted simple elegance and we got even more than we hoped for. They were so accomodating by helping us with our long distance issues, listening to our ideas , knowing exactly what we wanted, and making the whole experience so delightful because they delievered exactly on time. We always felt relaxed and confident that they would be perfect for us...and they were. A fantastic company to work with especially when the event is a wedding which is that one time shot!!! Everything was more than perfect thanks to all who work at Botanica.

From my very first meeting with Ian, he was able to finish my sentences and truly saw my vision. He always listened to me, but did not hesitate to tell me his honest and expert opinion. I always knew the final result would be fabulous and it truly was. The flowers were absolutely exquisite and really finished off the decor. All in all, it was a dream come true and I thank Ian and the Botanica staff from the bottom of my heart.

Very nice people, but unless you are willing to spend big money, you won't get the five star treatment. The bouquets and boutinneres were mis-delivered (went to the reception site instead of the church), and the table arrangments at the reception were rather small. The flowers themselves were top quality, though.

The staff at Botanica was wonderful. We were very much on a budget and while flowers did not get a large percentage of or budget they were amazingly beautiful. We went with a seasonal them (Christmas) and Ian and Zoe were able to take my descriptions and make them come perfectly to life!

Exceptionally beautiful arrangements. Took time to do exactly what we wanted.

Ian and the staff at Botanica are amazing! My wedding flowers were more beautiful than I imagined and exactly as I ordered.

very satisfied all around with this company

Botanica is the MAIN reason my events are SPECTACULAR. Ian Prosser and I have worked together since my humble beginnings in event planning. He is ridiculously talented, and so knowledgeable on floral and event design. I trust him implicitly with all my events, and he has become not only a trusted partner to me, but a sound mentor and friend.

A wonderful vendor to work with.

I love all that Botanica has to offer. The complete package really. They are a true talent and wonderful to work with.

Ian and his team create fabulous designs, settings and environments for all types of special occasions, especially weddings. Top quality work, attention to detail and timely delivery, all the elements for a successful event. Botanica can develope anyone's taste, ideas, dreams and vision to produce a memorable and original wedding day.

His creativity is amazing.

Botanica has a signature style that I recogonzie on sight when we arrive to play the music for our wedding clients.
Very beautiful to say the least - breath taking work at every event they design.
Highly recommend to you!

Botanica International is one of the most amazing florists you will ever come across. They not only do amazing florals, but care about each detail of the wedding....from what the bride and groom will be wearing to what the table linens look like. They are prompt, professional, and a true pleasure to work with!

Botanica is the best in this business! They provide an exceptional product. It never ceases to amaze me how each and every wedding is unique and flawless!!!

If you want a dependable, creative, amazing florist to be part of your wedding team - look no further!!

I have had the pleasure of working with Botanica on what seems like a million events, and can say that my experience with Ian and his team is no short of magical. He seems to have this innate ability to crawl into my head, pluck out my idea clouds, and design the most beautiful arrangements and events i have ever seen. He is an integral part of my success in the industry, he absolutely caters to my clients, and i truly look forward to every event we plan together. He has made me giddy over flowers on more than one occasion, and i truly enjoy the collaboration. He's a genius, really and certainly one of the best i have worked with.

Botanica creates the most amazing, beautiful floral creations we've ever seen. In addition, their experienced and friendly staff is so easy to work with. We are big fans of Botanica and refer our clients to them every chance we get.

Every time I meet with Botanica International, I know I will be exposed to something new and unique. The staff is wonderful to work with and the designs that are put together are impeccable and BEAUTIFUL!! What makes my job even better is that they have always been able to accommodate any last minute change or addition that might crop up. Thanks for being a joy to work with!

Botanica is more than just a florist. They design the entire look for your wedding or event, creating pieces that embody cutting-edge style. They've probably done 90% of the events I've photographed, with budgets ranging from five to seven figures, and all were beautiful.

Botanica knows flowers - some of the most beautiful arrangements and gorgeous ideas out of the heads of the Botanica family! I highly recommend them as a florist on my own website. Zoe, Ian and Fiona rock!
