    Perfection

    We were blessed to have found Jim and Sean to bring elegant beauty to our weddings. We had TWO weddings in 2022 for our daughter and our son-July and November. Jim is absolutely wonderful to talk to and work with. Their work is first-class and always stunning. Most importantly, I felt we could trust any advice they had and the decisions they made about the floral designs for the venue and season. You really need not look around for the perfect wedding florist - Michael Designs is the best!

    Absolutely incredible!

    There are few times I am truly speechless, but wow. Jim was an absolute pleasure to work with. I don't have much knowledge when it comes to flowers, so I gave Jim a bunch of different ideas that were a bit all over the place. He helped me narrow down my ideas and really worked with me to make sure all the arrangements fit my budget but also had an elegant touch. When I showed up to my venue, I was so touched to see everything Jim and Shaun had done. They went ABOVE and BEYOND and really took our arrangements to the next level. No words can thank them enough for everything they did. Stop looking because this is your florist!

    Lovely Flowers and Easy to Work With

    This duo was WONDERFUL. They were recommended to us by a relative, and they were amazing. Knowledgable, friendly, and did a fantastic job. Our venue was already beautiful, but the flowers and greenery (ours was a February wedding and we wanted earthy and simple) were incredible. They arranged greenery around our cupcakes, and made stunning bouquets for our girls and me (the bride). Everything was fresh and smelled so good. they gave us recommendations for storage and when to have everything ready by, and were on time for everything. The price was VERY reasonable given the wonderful work they did. As the bride, I was blown away by how easy to work with they were, and how wonderful everything looked. Colors were perfect, and they were very helpful in matching flowers to our theme and colors. They also had wood slabs and lanterns for use which was great, and had many other options for rent as well. Wouldn't use anyone else for flowers!!!

    Jim will bring your vision to life!

    Jim is wonderful to work with and helped bring my vision come to life with his expertise. I showed him a few pictures of how I envisioned my bouquet, the centerpieces, the cake topper, and the boutonnieres and he took care of the rest. It was even better than what I could have imagined. He was always responsive and patient with all of my questions. I highly recommend Michael Designs Florists!

    Incredible florists!

    I highly recommend Michael Designs Florist. Jim and Shaun went above and beyond in every respect when designing my wedding flowers and working with my vision and budget. The result was so perfect that I think they must have used a bit of magic...which goes to show that their level of customer service is at an incredibly high level. Additionally, they were highly communicative, prompt with the floral delivery, and dedicated to ensuring the table arrangements were correctly placed. I felt like they were part of my family because of their care and genuine joy in being part of my wedding day. Thank you Jim and Shaun for being so wonderful and for sharing your talent and passion!!!

    Beachy Fall Aesthetic Vibes

    My husband and I got married of November of 2020 at the Chesapeake Bay Beach club, and in the midst of COVID chaos we were able to find this florist and they absolutely KILLED IT with my bouquet, our arbor and the men's boutonniere. I am not a very big flower person and I wanted something that had more greenery and matched the aesthetic of a "beachy fall wedding". Even though we didn't get to meet until day of, Jim and I were in communication via text and he absolutely exceeded all of my expectations and made all my crazy ideas and Pinterest fantasies come to life. I would 100% recommend!

    Simply beautiful

    The only part of my daughter's wedding day that was more beautiful than her were the floral creations by Jim and Shaun of Michael Designs Florist! From sourcing that special flower which was not available until the last minute to capturing the aesthetic Monica envisioned, the smallest detail was not overlooked. They went well above and beyond our expectations and were an absolute pleasure to work with!

    Impressive personal flowers

    My husband and I were married in August 2020 after having to postpone due to the pandemic. Our original wedding date was in April 2020. Jim and Shaun get extra points for flexibility! I was so relieved when they were available on our new date. After visiting their studio and booking their services in 2019, I knew they would hit it out of the park. They are so talented. The bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages were next level beautiful.

    Outstanding in every way!!!

    Thanks to Jim and Shaun for their kind hearts and reassurance throughout this very difficult and emotional pandemic, causing so many families to rethink how they will choose to celebrate their wedding day.  We will never forget their amazing support in helping us to pull off our fairytale, socially distanced wedding in less than 3 weeks time!!!  We kept our original date in July 2020, by reducing our guest list from 180 to 18 to meet state phases and guidelines.  Jim and Shaun brilliantly managed to keep our same floral scheme that was originally designed for our larger party to look just as perfect for our newly downsized group!  Their professionalism and talent made our outdoor ceremony and tented dinner look as though it was our plan from the start!  They took on the challenge of "the new normal" design and placement to accommodate a more spread out seating so that all guests felt comfortable and safe while still creating a beautifully intimate setting!  They recognized the importance of our Chuppa, (traditional ceremony covering), its meaning and its heritage and spent time days ahead to set it up and anticipate last minute rain plans.  Michael Designs Florist's talent and creativity stood out over a year ago early on in our wedding planning.  We could never have imagined one year later, what an important role they would play in our special day in making our dreams come true!!!

    Perfect Flowers

    Jim and Shaun are INCREDIBLE! I knew after the first time I met them that I would not have to worry about a thing! I am beyond satisfied with the service and perfection of all the flowers for my wedding. Jim is incredible, so easy to get in contact with and taking an idea and turning it into perfection. I honestly cannot say enough good things about how incredible they are as people and their work. Just absolutely perfect!

    Beyond friendly and great product!

    The flowers were amazing! They were absolutely beautiful and Michael and Jim are the nicest! They were always communicative and we’re willing to do the little unique things I asked to make my flowers special. They were so friendly and were prompt on delivery. I had no clue really what I wanted to do with my flowers other than the two I wanted: hydrangeas and succulents and they took my idea and ran with it to make the most beautiful bouquets. Don’t think- just book them! You will NOT be disappointed!

    The Best Florist

    Our experience with Jim and Shaun at Michael Designs Florist was amazing. They were a pleasure to work with, listened to what the bride wanted and created perfect stunning florals for our daughter's wedding. The girls' bouquets were exactly what the bride was hoping for. The natural wildflower look and the colors were perfect with their dresses. But the arch for this beach wedding, oh my goodness! I could not in my wildest dreams have imagined such a breathtaking work of art. I cannot recommend Michael Designs Florist more highly.

    Best Florists EVER!!!

    A friend recommended Shawn and Jim and they ended up being one of our very favorite vendors! They were so engaged, easy to work with, hardworking, and loved what they do! Their vision and talent for floral arrangements, colors and the overall theme of our wedding was undeniable and perfect! They were always welcoming, friendly and personable during every meet up. They went above and beyond and helped us match napkin colors with the floral arrangements and last minute floral bouquets on Mother’s Day, which happened to be the busiest time of year! EVERY SINGLE TIME the floral arrangements were absolutely GORGEOUS! We got so many compliments on their work! I saw one of their arrangements and based my whole wedding theme around it! I LOVED IT! I highly highly recommend them and look forward to working with them in the future!

    My fiance wanted to make his proposal special by incorporating flowers. He called Michael Designs Florist and was lucky enough to work with Shaun. Shaun helped him create a beautifully memorable day for us with hand delivered boutonniere, corsage, and a beautiful arrangement for the romantic dinner he had planned. Shaun helped planned out our entire engagement shoot, and even with the 90 degree weather and running around for pictures for much of the day my corsage and his boutonniere were still fresh the following morning! We are so blown away and impressed! The flowers were so important for our day as my fiancee wanted to incorporate them in commemoration of his late mother. Shaun provided us with gorgeous fragrant flowers, special ordered my birth flower, made restaurant recommendations, helped with logistics, and gave us a lifetime of memories! We are beyond thrilled and would highly recommend Shaun and his team at Michael Designs!! Sincerely Rafiq & Naveen

    Jim and Shaun did an absolutely amazing job! The flowers of our wedding were incredible and more than we could have ever imagined! Their pricing was on point and they were willing to offering options and solutions to fit your budget and/or save money! I cannot express enough how amazing they were and I would 100% recommend them to everyone I know!

    Michael Design Florist designed the flowers for my daughter’s wedding on 6/30/18 at the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club. The flowers were breathtaking. Jim and Shaun were so much fun to work with. Great customer service. From the very first time I met with them I knew we chose the best.
    The guests complimented the flowers all evening. Do not hesitate to have Michael Design Florist for your wedding or other occasions. They are simply the BEST❤️

    Jim Paulus and his team are the BEST! He is so lovely to work with and did an amazing job delivering flowers and arrangements that met my style and budget. He also helped accommodate my (very involved and opinionated) mom with her requests - she really valued his partnership throughout the entire process. I would HIGHLY recommend working with Jim!

    My venue recommend Jim and Shaun and thank god that they did. When we had our consultation, Jim had put some actual samples of flowers together based on some photos I had sent him. He is so organized and answers all the questions honestly. He MADE our wedding look so elegant and put the look that I wanted together in such a special way. We visited 3 other vendors for flowers and NONE of them compare. I highly recommend Jim and Shaun for your wedding day.

    Jim and Shaun outdid themselves with our daughter's lawn ceremony at the Gibson Island Club. The arch, the flowers, the table arrangements inside, the cascading bridal bouquet - the colors were magnificant and set the tone for a splendid wedding setting. Going the extra mile to bring us the flowers the next morning for our wedding brunch only added icing to our fan cake for Michael Designs. Thank You! Submitted by Barbara and Jon, Annapolis, MD

    Jim and Shaun are incredible! We booked them for our September 2017 wedding at the Chesapeake Bay Beach club and cannot say enough good things about them. The flowers were absolutely stunning. Their team is creative, professional, and pay such close attention to detail. They worked with me extensively to make sure I had the perfect flowers on my wedding day. I highly recommend them!

    Working with Jim was such a pleasure! He had great ideas and really helped us put our vision together. Our second meeting with him included mock ups of our center pieces and we couldn’t have been more pleased. Jim was very flexible and offered great advice. It was the cherry on top of an already great day when we walked into the venue and saw our vision in real life. We were SO pleased with how every little detail came together. The candles, the arrangements, everything was exactly how we pictured in our mind. Very fair pricing! Highly recommended.

    Oh man, what can I say about Jim and Shaun that hasn't already been said!? They were simply the BEST. Jim has such a wonderful gift for arrangements. After talking to him for like 10 minutes, he put together "sample" bouquets and centerpieces that were stunning! They were so up front and honest about bloom costs, and, unlike other florists, were honest about expensive blooms and offered alternatives. They also put together and incredible flower crown for my hair that my stylist said was one of her favorite styles that she's ever done! They are seriously the best, and are so conscientious about all of the details. I can't say enough about how wonderful they are!

    Jim and Shaun are the absolute best! After talking with me for 10 minutes he knew exactly what I liked and what flowers would appeal to me. Jim is so patient and hilarious, not to mention their work space and environment is where I would go and do some meditation. The air is so clean and crisp, I did not want to leave. If you are in the MD area, no doubt in my mind this is where you should go. I am looking forward to my wedding, flowers are very important to me, and this makes me so much more excited for the big day.
