small summer ceremony at Andaz

Bo and Molly are the best! They worked with us to create a beautiful arch to our small summer wedding. Most vendors would have shied away but they were enthusiastic to make our vision come true. They were true professionals at every turn. I never had to worry about a thing with them. I wanted magnolias and they made it happen!! I cannot recommend them enough!

BEST of the BEST! Look no further - This is it!

Bo and his team do not disappoint, 10/10 all around!!! They are super professional, they LISTEN and really bring your vision to life - Bo really is a master at his craft. With everything else going on with wedding planning, I was at ease knowing my decor would be well taken care of - and you want this as a bride!! I definitely felt prioritized and heard throughout the entire design process, Bo and his team are extremely flexible, patient and so fun and easy to work with! Not to mention I was a super last minute bride yet Designs by Zima happily took me on and fabulously executed! I really don’t believe anyone else could have come through and executed the way they did and especially on the short turnaround timeline that I had. I am BEYOND happy I chose Designs by Zima for my special day.

Wedding reception for 300 on June 15, 2024.

Must Be Magic

If you’re looking for a phenomenal florist look no further! Bo and his team did the flowers and decor for our October 2023 wedding and we could not be happier.

The flowers he designed and provided were creative, colorful, and beautifully fragrant.
Our guests came up to us with compliments the whole evening. Bo’s florals were a multi-sensory treat. Some brides choose a signature perfume scent for their big day but thanks to Bo I have the pleasure of having the memory of the whole day infused with the scent of the flowers.

We had our reception and ceremony in an industrial/historical space and Bo’s expertise in florals as well as decor took the venue from rough and dusty to a glittering palace. Our venue had some unique challenges and required a bit of polish. The Designs by Zima team were able to work in florals to make the space seem lush and inviting while still highlighting the features that made it unique. The result of their hard work turned our space into a dream!

Bo was attentive every step of the way and was flexible with even my most adventurous ideas to craft an evening that we will cherish for a lifetime. From building a gorgeous “nest” of florals so we could have our ceremony in the round, to getting creative with a giant chandelier as a seating chart Bo and his team interpreted our vision and turned it into creative realities.

We also had the pleasure of having Bo helping coordinate the big day, his knowledge was indispensable for making everything run smoothly. He and his team were there with us from the minute the venue opened till we all said goodnight and were pragmatic, professional, as well as extremely warm for every minute of it.

Designs by Zima’s attention to detail made our wedding truly magical; he is an artist in the highest sense of the word and it was a joy to work with him and his team.

The Best Florist/Wedding Planner

I stumbled upon Designs by Zima on Instagram while desperately searching for a florist to help us plan our wedding within a tight 30-day window during the challenging times of Covid. Little did I know that this serendipitous discovery would lead us to Bo, who turned out to be an absolute gem in the world of event planning and floral design.

From our very first consultation, Bo demonstrated exceptional professionalism and dedication to making our wedding vision come to life. He was not just a florist; he was our wedding magician, our trusted advisor, and ultimately, he felt like family.

What set Bo apart from the rest was his ability to listen intently and ask all the right questions to truly understand our vision. His passion for what he does shone through, and his confidence in delivering a memorable experience was truly remarkable.

One of the things that truly amazed us was Bo's desire to create an element of surprise for our big day. He didn't reveal every detail, and we decided to do a first look of the reception area before our guests arrived. That moment, just between my wife and me, was breathtaking. Bo's work exceeded our wildest expectations, and it felt like a dream come true.

Bo didn't stop at being a florist; he became our one-stop shop for wedding decor. He handled everything, from draping and dance floors to chairs and table settings. Essentially, he was our de facto wedding planner, even though we initially sought his expertise as a florist.

Throughout the entire process, Bo demonstrated a level of care and commitment that went above and beyond. He ensured that every detail was perfect, every flower was in its rightful place, and every element of our decor reflected our unique style and personality.

In a world where wedding planning can be overwhelming and stressful, Bo made it a seamless, enjoyable, and unforgettable experience. We only had to find a videographer, photographer, and DJ because we wanted to, but I have no doubt that Bo could have handled those aspects too.

To Bo and Designs by Zima, we cannot thank you enough for turning our wedding day into a memory that will last a lifetime. You didn't just meet our expectations; you exceeded them in every way possible. If you're searching for a one-stop shop for your wedding needs, or if you simply need an outstanding florist, look no further. Bo is the secret ingredient that will make your special day truly magical. Thank you, Bo, for everything you did for us.

Beautiful experience

Beau and his team did an amazing job for our NYE wedding. We had a vision on what we wanted our wedding to look like and Beau understood our vision and our wedding turned out even more beautiful then we could have even imagined. I hardly ever cry but when I had a first look and saw the reception room for the first time, I started crying on how beautiful everything was, as did my husband. From the sweetheart table to the flower arrangements to the table cloths to the small tiny details, it turned out beautiful. They even decorated the area where we got married outside on a terrace and it was gorgeous. Loved the gorgeous flowers on the arch with a beautiful chandelier built on a platform with a mirrored aisle. A lot of our friends and family said it was the most beautiful wedding and reception they have been to. All thanks to Designs By Zima! They are so easy to work with and they are so creative! I have referred a few of my friends to them after and they are just as happy. From weddings, to birthdays, to showers, to holiday parties they do it all. They far surpassed all of our expectations! #happyclients #beautiful #thankyou

Designs by Zima was amazing. They decorated and provided the flowers for our event and did such an incredible job it made us all cry. Their professionalism decreased our stress levels because we knew what they say and do will be exactly the same. They inquired about everything we wanted. They wanted to please our needs from the get go. At the end they provided everything we wanted and more. I would hire them again to do all my weddings and other functions.

Working with Adam and Beau from Designs by Zima was a blast! We hired them to design some floral arrangements and table designs, but ended up having them do so much more. Our guests adored our centerpieces, and really enjoyed the piping and draping that Designs by Zima used to transform our reception space. The little details and quality of work made for a very elegant day, and we cannot thank Beau and Adam enough!

They made us the most perfect flowers (bouquets, corsages, and boutonnières) for our wedding. Adam and Bo were responsive, sweet, and really listened to what we wanted. Their prices were also really good and they worked within our budget. We could not have asked for the flowers to have been more perfect!! We will be recommending them to everyone we know!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

The detail, the class, the style, the personal touch, everything is done to a level above perfection, they take your vision and make it real, no matter how simple or elegant. We love working with DBZ!

I recently worked with Adam and Bo from Designs By Zima. They were kind enough to refer me to a personal friend who was getting married in Sedona. We had delays due to the weather, but overall we worked together as a team to make it a memorable event for the bride & groom. The floral design was absolutely one of the most classy and elegant I have ever seen in nearly 40 years of business. Designs by Zima was absolutely a pleasure to work with and I look forward to partnering with Adam and Bo as much as possible in the future. Musically yours, Ray Mar, Chief Entertainment Officer Ray Mar Productions
