    Could not have been happier!

    We LOVED our flowers. Josef totally understood what I wanted and we only communicated via phone and email, yeah know because it's 2020. We got a medium sized bride bouquet, groom boutonniere, 3 boutonnieres, 2 corsages and a few flowers for the cake. I thought the prices were reasonable and the quality was incredible.

    Unique, wildish style

    I had a very particular style in mind for my wedding florals and there were surprisingly few portfolios online that seemed to offer it. I queried a few of them and Josef had the most immediate, thorough, and friendly response. He seemed to get what I was after without much ado, which was a subtle fall palate and natural, foraged look including fall leaves, fuzzy grasses, and wildflowers. He delivered everything we were looking for and was very accommodating while we waited for logistics to fall into place, like what kind of table arrangements we would use at the reception, depending on how many people showed up. Though it had taken some digging to find him online, I found out after hiring him that he had plenty of street cred among the other wedding professionals I was talking to, with a couple of them saying, "Oh, Josef! He's the best." So I was glad I had looked beyond the few big names that kept popping up but that didn't seem to represent my style.

    Beautiful!

    Josef did an amazing job with our flowers and captured exactly what we envisioned for our wedding day. He was super helpful and responsive throughout the planning process and I would totally recommend!

    Such pretty flowers

    My husband and I were so impressed with Josef's work for our wedding. I don't know very much about flowers, and he was really easy to work with right from the beginning. Josef was sensitive to our budget and always responded quickly to questions or changes, even when we had some last-minute additions to make. Everything turned out perfectly. I would recommend Josef to anyone!

    Phenomenal florist

    Josef was very easy to work with and got my vision right away. We talked through a few different ideas and landed on something we were really happy with. Despite some traffic issues, Josef got us our flowers on time and set up our installation SO FAST. He decorated an arch for us and it was absolutely beautiful. I was obsessed with my bouquet, I wish I could have carried it around all weekend. Our flowers felt really personal and were a perfect fit for our venue and our aesthetic. I would strongly recommend Botanica Floral and would love to work with them again.

    Flowers from Heaven!

    The wedding flowers were absolutely STUNNING! We loved all the little plants he added in with what we suggested, like sage and rosemary. It all looked so elegant and smelled amazing. From little boutonnieres, to bouquets, to garlands, he did it all fantastically! And we were spared a lot of stress not having to set it all up ourselves. Worth every penny! Thank you, Botanical!

    Wonderful flowers!

    Josef and his team are amazing. Planning the wedding out of state was a little difficult but they gave us great suggestions from the very beginning. We had a complete change of wedding colors and a couple of last minute changes to the list of floral items and they were able to quickly help us out. The flowers were crisp and stunning. Highly recommend!

    Stunning Flowers

    Our friend Surprised us with flowers for our wedding and they were EVERYTHING I ever wanted!! I could not get over how Botanica Floral knew what I wanted when I did not even know what I wanted. I could not believe how perfect they are.

    Botanica Floral Design's reply:

    Amber, We are so thrilled that we were able to read your mind and even more thrilled that you loved your flowers! Thank you so much for letting us know. Congratulations! All of us here at Botanica.

    The best florist in PDX!

    If I could plan my wedding all over again, I would choose Botanica every single time. Josef and his team were so responsive, flexible and easy to work with. They were so helpful in planning out exactly what I wanted and more, while keeping it in my budget. When the big day came, they far exceeded my expectations and I could not have been happier. People are still to this day talking about my bridal bouquet! I am now a Botanica customer for life for all my floral needs!

    Gorgeous flowers and GREAT to work with

    Botanica did all of the flowers for our wedding in October, and we couldn't have been happier. From the planning stage to day-of the wedding, they never missed a beat. Just a few of the positive things that stood out...We planned our Oregon wedding remotely from Chicago, and the team was always willing to Skype or take phone calls. They coordinated directly with our wedding cake bakery to make sure flowers for the cake were delivered and arranged correctly. We came to them with a color scheme and they produced a highly-detailed proposal with annotated pictures. If you go with Botanica, you can be 100% confident your wedding flowers will be beautiful and the logistics worry-free.

    Josef, you are a remarkable talent. Your work on our wedding with our picky (and difficult) color scheme of navy blue, avocado, silver, and dusty lavender, was beyond compare. Every arrangement was spot-on...and your use of succulents and creative touches such as dusty miller and so many others really made all of our flowers just perfect. What a graceful and magical scene you helped us create! Thanks also for weaving my necklace (a gift from my groom!) into my bouquet, it was just perfect! I highly recommend you to any and all.

    Wow, Josef blew me away with how talented he is. The flowers were UNREAL gorgeous and they were exactly what I had always imagined. Now keep in mind that I know nothing about flowers... my now husband and I went into the first meeting knowing a general color scheme and feel that we liked, but didn't know how to explain it. Josef was able to guide us through the entire process and executed it flawlessly. He was so responsive and easy to work with which was really only a bonus. I highly, highly recommend!

    Full disclosure - I met Josef from Botanica about 9 years ago and have been friends with him ever since. When I got engaged, there was only ever one choice for our flowers. I've seen him do some amazing work in these past 9 years so I knew I'd get something great. And I did. Josef understood my vision for a romantic, lush feeling for my wedding and for something more simple for our rehearsal dinner that wouldn't compete with the beautiful surroundings. He nailed both events and it was even better than I could have hoped. I got lots of compliments on the flowers and how beautiful everything looked. He is easy to work with, timely, and everything was so pretty I'm sad to see the flowers dying now in our house.

    Beautiful flowers that contributed to making it a wonderful wedding weekend for everyone. Thank you!!!

    Josef did a stellar job on the flowers for our wedding! It was just what we wanted and then some! We struggled at first to find a florist that didn't have an outrageous spending minimum, so it was refreshing to find someone that would work with any budget. He went above and beyond by offering to drape the fabric on the arbor while he put the flower spray on it. He even kept up timely email correspondence while he was traveling abroad. We would 100% recommend Botanica Floral!

    Unrelated side note- he has the sweetest little office doggy!

    Josef came highly recommended to us by our wedding coordinator. We met with him really early through our planning process, when we barely had a handle on what we wanted to do for the wedding, let alone how we wanted our flowers. Despite this fact, we immediately knew Josef was the florist we wanted. And it became more apparent when we consulted with other florists and Josef was the florist we compared them against. He shepherded us through the planning process patiently, and made us feel like he knew exactly what we were going for, even when we couldn’t express it well. His ideas were fun and creative and opened up a lot of ideas for us early in the process. Josef was so easy to work with and flexible when it came time to make changes closer to the wedding date. The week of the wedding, I decided that I wanted to add bouquet charms to my bouquet, and that we needed to pick up the flowers early. He was so accommodating! He attached my charms to my bouquet before we picked them up and was available at 8:00 when my husband came to pick up our bouquets and boutonnieres. The flowers he used were high quality and BEAUTIFUL. They were exactly what we wanted. We can’t sing his praises enough!

    Joseph was wonderful to work with! He was recommended as top notch by my wedding consultant Jenn at Awe Productions and he delivered in spades.

    I met with Joseph twice before the wedding - once at a show to see his display and second to go through actual flowers and look through the pinterest board of ideas I had. He and I worked out a general concept for my bouquet and my MOH bouquet and I let him take it from there. We had a kind of complex request also in that we wanted an arch for the ceremony that "wasn't too flowery, but not too much branch, but not too urban" - I wasn't too terribly worried, but it was one of those let it go moments.

    Day of, I snuck out of photos at a quiet moment to see the ceremony space and almost burst into tears at the sight of the beautiful arch - he had nailed what I was trying to describe in such a beautiful way and it looked so gorgeous behind us in photos.

    Joseph was also very good at making sure to guide me to flowers that fit my budget and keeping into what was in season or he could get fresh. He had a good selection if you wanted outside of that, but I appreciated his awareness of budget constraints balanced with look/feel desires.

    Would definitely recommend Botanica to other couples looking for flower magicians!

    We have had an amazing experience working with Josef of Botanica. He immediately understood my vision and was able to guide me in the right direction and even point out blooms and accents I hadn't thought of before but am so excited about! Josef is quick to respond and willing to work with any budget.

    Josef and his team did an amazing job with our wedding flowers. The arrangements were magical! The colors, the quality, the unique design mesmerized our guests and were the target of many, many photos!! Because our dinner was served farm style we didn't want many flowers on the table, SO...Josef created hanging flower chandeliers!! Complete with glass bulbs, candles, and an array of stunning flowers. I highly recommend Botanica Floral Design! 10+

    Josef did a phenomenal job on our wedding flowers. He was highly recommended by our wedding planner. The three of us met and when I told him how I envisioned my wedding, he immediately knew what to do with flowers. His flowers are decently priced, and Josef made it a priority to stay within my floral budget. On our wedding day, all the flowers were absolutely amazing and fresh. I was so happy at how they turned out, and how well it fit with the vision I had for my wedding flowers. The bonus to Josef’s flowers was that they were all locally grown, which was important for us. I would highly recommend Josef for any occasion.

    Botanica was amazing. The owner made sure that in my wedding day he arranged all of my flowers on site including in my cake. He has an amazing eye for detail, and with such a wide variety of interesting and classic flowers, along with pods and everything else that I didn't even know existed, they will ensure you have flowers unlike any other. He worked so well trying to find exactly the feeling we were going for and not just what flowers we liked.

    Amazing overall. I will definitely use Botanica anytime I need floral arrangements from here out.

    Josef is an incredible florist. Not only was he incredibly personable and easy to work with, but he magically transformed my vague descriptions into the most gorgeous and perfect bouquets and arrangements. He was professional and on time, he clearly put a lot of time and thought into all of the details, and I got compliments all day on how beautiful everything was.
