I attended the Bill Hixson School of Floral Design and studied design with Alan Botamer, son of the founder, prior to purchasing the business in 2002. I consider myself more than lucky to have been drawn into an industry that has become such a rewarding career and that enables me and the staff to provide joy and comfort to so many people.

Our wedding flowers from Botamer were perfect! Kaylee and Connie brought the vision to life beautifully.
At the initial consultation, Kaylee and Connie listened to my ideas, offer...
ing suggestions that improved the floral design. I’m not much of an expert on flowers, so their input on which types would incorporate my intended theme was much appreciated.
When I realized I would need to add an additional few pieces just a few days before the wedding, Kaylee was responsive and designed them in time for our big day.
She was also flexible at our floral preview the morning before the wedding when I said that I did not care for a certain piece of greenery on the bouquets and that a few of the roses already looked a bit tired. She made the adjustments.
I also loved how Kaylee labeled everyone’s individual flowers with their names on them so that we could easily pass them out at the church before the ceremony!
The bouquets turned out beautifully and the altar arrangements received many compliments.
If you are looking for a wedding florist with artistic talent and excellent service, I would recommend Botamer!

I attended a consultation with Kaylee recently. She was polite and professional, and the conversation went well. When the time came for her to give me the quote, she slid a tiny sc...
rap of paper facedown across the table to me with a number on it. I asked to see the entire quote and she said they only do that when you agree to work with them. I'm sorry, what? It was thousands of dollars and I don't know who would blindly agree to work with a vendor without seeing a detailed breakdown of prices first. A week later, she sent me a proposal that included the number of arrangements I asked for with no price breakdown. Just the final number at the bottom of the page. I do not trust a business that is not transparent about prices in this economy. Do not waste your time.

Hi! Thank you for sharing your feedback about your consultation with our team. We're glad ...
to hear that you found us polite and professional. We understand your desire to see a detailed price breakdown before committing to our services. However, we have a policy of providing those details only after a booking agreement is in place. This allows us to dedicate our time and resources to couples who are genuinely interested in working with us, and it also protects our unique pricing structure from being copied by competitors. We believe our pricing accurately reflects the high-quality flowers, artistic design, and personalized attention we provide for each wedding. We stand by our products, quality, presentation, and professionalism throughout the entire wedding planning process. We understand this approach may not be for everyone, and we apologize if it caused any inconvenience. We are always striving to improve our processes and appreciate your feedback. Should you have a change of heart and wish to experience our 5-star service, we welcome you to reach out to us.

My sister recommended Botamer as a florist for our September 2022 wedding and it was one of the best decisions we made. What I enjoyed about working with Amy from Botamer was she g...
ave ideas and recommendations based on the inspiration photos I showed her. I also liked that the suggestions she made were always conscientious of our budget. I wasn’t planning on using real flowers to decorate our sign, aisle markers or having flower arrangements framing our ceremony space due to cost but Botamer’s competitive pricing made all my floral dreams a reality. I was apprehensive about telling any florist that I wanted to make the reception decorations myself using fake flowers but Amy encouraged it and was available for any questions I had along the way! The prices are great, the team is friendly, and the flowers were gorgeous and of the highest quality. If you’re looking for flowers for a wedding or another special event, the decision is easy, use Botamer Florist and More!

Botamer Florist made our day extra beautiful and hassle free!

d my perfect dream wedding. I brought in several picture ideas from Pinterest for our first meeting and she worked with me on budget. We did center pieces, flower pedal runway, cake decoration, a special head-table center piece, corsages/boutonnieres, and bouquets for me and the bridesmaids. We got compliments nonstop during the wedding and we couldn’t be more satisfied. I would absolutely recommend Amy because she will work with you on budget and produce a great outcome no matter what it is you need from her

vision PERFECTLY and made my flowers even more beautiful than even I could have imagined. She was incredible to work with and even helped us by giving tips for the home-planted centerpieces my family and I did for my wedding! She is truly and incredible person to work with and a true artist. She is also by far the most affordable florist and works so well with absolutely any budget. I cannot recommend her enough. She is easily one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day and will be for yours too!

We had our wedding in September of this year and I saw the good reviews online and was hoping to use a local company since we are from the Lorain area. The first meeting went great...
, I showed the florist pictures and told her my vision--she gave me some guidance about choosing flowers to fit the budget and explained that they could easily paint flowers that would match our colors. After looking into a couple other florists we decided to book with Botamer. I decided to contact them in June to check in about the number of centerpieces. I'm so glad I did! They had my order completely wrong--the wrong flowers, amounts of centerpieces, colors, pretty much everything. I went in to meet again with the florist, she told me she would have to charge me more--even though it was her mistake for not taking accurate notes during our first meeting. It was only a slight increase and being that I was at the breaking point with wedding planning, I agreed. When I called a few weeks before the wedding day to triple confirm, I was told they had written down the wrong color for flowers and had already ordered them. We corrected that without any extra charges, but then when I went in the day before to view the flowers, they were still incorrect! The colors were wrong, the height of the flowers for the centerpieces was wrong, I was so disappointed. By the time of the wedding day my bouquet was beautiful, my bridesmaids were not so great, and about 70% of the centerpieces had the right coloring. If you want to avoid stress on your wedding day I would avoid this florist.

mes to go over our requests and ideas and created my vision exactly. She took so much time to listen to what I wanted and offered suggestions and ideas to help. These ladies were on top of it! They are more than happy to answer any questions you have and called me back right away any time I had more. They matched color swatches exactly as well. They made the entire process very stress free and we couldn't be happier with the final product! It was important to us to stick to our budget and they worked with us to give us the most for our money
