The Botaniste

Corina and Olana did a fantastic job making my flower dreams come true! I knew right away The Botaniste had to be my florist because of the attention to detail in our initial conversation. She went through each type of flower in the colors I wanted to let me say yes, no, or maybe to create the perfect bouquet for me. She knew what I wanted without me knowing exactly what I wanted! All of the arrangements came out beautifully and complimented the rest of our decor perfectly!

Highly recommend The Botaniste! Corina and Olana were great to work with. They are very knowledgeable, organized, and were supportive in our choices. We went into our first meeting unsure as to what we wanted, but they helped guide us in the right direction. Our flowers were beautiful and exceeded expectations!

It's more than safe to say my spouse and I knew nothing about florals -- picking them, making them fit into our aesthetic, nothing. The team at The Botaniste made stunning bouquets, centerpieces, and a floral ceremony piece using only a few inspiration photos and very patiently walking us through different flower types and what they thought would fit our season and space. The results were nothing short of breathtaking. I could not recommend them more for helping a vision come to life and being so calm, prompt, and professional.

Such an amazing company! The initial consultation was so thorough and Corinna was able to specifically tie our vision with flowers that were in season. Everything came out perfectly and they were also able to do cake flowers at the last minute! I can't recommend this company enough! I wish I could add photos of the spectacular work that they did! 10/10! Would work with them again in a heartbeat!

I absolutely loved how my wedding day flowers turned out. The staff at the Botaniste were extremely helpful in terms of explaining all of our options and answering all of our questions. I sent them some inspiration photos and they truly brought my vision to life. They also went above and beyond for final day of details. Their quality was amazing while also being extremely reasonably priced. I would highly recommend them for your wedding day!

Corina and the Botaniste team were fantastic and so easy to work with, plus the flower arrangements they put together were better than I could have ever hoped for! The team was patient and took time getting to know me and my style to curate the most perfect florals; plus, they were incredibly responsive over email and phone, especially as we got closer to the wedding. Going into the wedding, I was nervous about how our flowers would look since I couldn't provide exactly the right inspiration picture. However, I couldn't have asked for anything better than the finished product--it was like Corina read my mind about what I was looking for! Lastly, the Botaniste team was highly affordable in comparison to all the other florists we looked at; they worked with us to put together a spread that was within our price range, and they didn't skimp on high-quality materials when putting everything together (ex. our bouquets weren't just filled with roses). I would highly recommend the Botaniste team to anyone looking for affordable, gorgeous special event flowers in the Western Mass region!

The Botaniste did our September 2022 wedding, and we were absolutely blown away! The florals were absolutely stunning, and exactly what we told them we were hoping for. I know next to nothing about flowers, and they were so patient with me, walking me through every option to make sure I had the exact flowers that I wanted, and I'm so, so grateful. The bouquets were so beyond what I was even hoping for, and they were truly so gorgeous. I couldn't recommend them more highly!

We had a fantastic experience working with The Botaniste for our wedding! We honestly did not have a grand vision going into the process - we had some basic ideas about colors and overall style, but aside from that we just knew we wanted the flowers to look great and match the style of our venue. Our initial meeting with Corina was incredibly helpful at narrowing down exactly what we wanted. She took our inspiration photos and random ideas and ran with them! She helped distill our ideas into a comprehensive plan, making it super clear exactly what we were getting and what everything cost. Olana then took over and was very communicative leading up to the big day, addressing any questions we had and making sure everyone was clear on all the details. Day of, the team did a fantastic job setting everything up unobtrusively and most important, we were THRILLED with how all the flowers and decor turned out! Everything looked so amazing and beyond what we could have hoped for. Every detail was perfect and we were beyond happy. Looking at the photos still brings me so much joy! I would highly recommend working with The Botaniste for your wedding!

I would highly recommend the Botaniste - my wedding flowers looked amazing! They chatted with my initially to review my style and vision, created a proposal, had a follow up phone call to review everything a month before, and even texted me while making the flowers. My bouquets and corsages matched perfectly. The greenery I requested was perfectly incorporated. The sweetheart table pieces and centerpieces were exactly my vision of rustic/ modern. Everything was delivered right to us at the hotel. Thank you for making everything picture perfect!

They did an incredible job. The flowers were exactly what I imagined. Olana was so easy to work with and super communicative. Definitely the right decision to go with this vendor!

My husband and I chose to work with the Botaniste, a preferred vendor for our wedding venue. We are absolutely thrilled that we chose them as our florist! From the beginning, the team was  professional and responsive. Corina and her team were flexible, accommodating our floral and budget needs (very affordable and reasonable with pricing). I was so excited to see the bouquets, and table and arch arrangements the day of the wedding. They were above and beyond my expectations. Corina used my flower and color preferences, along with my wedding dress, as inspiration to create absolutely breathtaking arrangements that incorporated a variety of flowers and beautiful colors that complimented each other. I cannot say enough positive things about how the flowers came out. I am looking to preserve my wedding bouquet, because I love it that much. Would highly recommend the Botaniste as your wedding florist!

One word - WOW. We were blown away with what The Botaniste created for our wedding. My husband and I are not the most creative people, and from what we were able to describe of our vision, they went above and beyond and did exactly what we were thinking and more. From their little touches (blue flowers on every menu) to the most amazing bouquets and boutonnieres, we cannot recommend The Botaniste enough. Olana and Maria were great to work with - they provided their thoughts and recommendations, and the setup team were so nice and stayed right on schedule. Thank you!!!

The Botaniste did a fantastic job making our wedding day absolutely beautiful. Corina, Belinda, and the whole team took our ideas and made them shine. They filled my bouquet, arch flowers, and centerpieces with fall hues with different and unique flowers and greens. So many guests told me how much they loved the flowers, and many took home centerpieces. The venue even hung onto some of the larger pieces to keep out for some upcoming tours! Thank you so much to the whole Botaniste crew!

My husband and I chose The Botaniste from their beautiful pictures and pleasant consultation with Corina. We could tell right away they were a very talented florist who would take care of everything. The thing for me is I am not the most knowledgeable about flowers, but I gave them the best description I could of what I wanted and they knocked it out of the park. I couldn’t have been happier with the flowers on our arch, the bouquets, corsages, boutonnières and center pieces. Absolutely beautiful. This florist stands out among the rest. Thank you!

Corina and I met in November 2019, and then Covid hit. Almost a 1.5 years later, her team and I spoke again closer to my June wedding date to review all that was discussed previously. They knew exactly what my vision was, and come our day, the florals were everything I could've imaged for! The choices in colors, and highlighting my Cala Lilies, was such a special touch. I'm in the process of preserving my bouquet to have a keepsake forever. I highly recommend The Botaniste!

The Botaniste was the first potential wedding florist I called to gather some information. Corina spent a solid amount of time over the phone trying to get a feel for a vision that I, my self, wasn’t even sure of at the time. She had me googling specific flowers to get a sense of what I liked and didn’t like. She ran through her form with me, I sent her pictures and descriptions of my visions. Corina also won over my mom when we had a group phone conversation and were considering another florist. Communication with Corina felt super comfortable, casual, cool and artsy. She had a very different style that I was drawn to over the other florists we visited. I felt like she was always available to answer any questions I had and she offered her own ideas that we loved as well. As it got very close to the wedding we had a little hiccup with the size of the babies breath bouquets for sap buckets when I realized we needed more than planned but Corina was able to come up with a solution to meet our needs. Corina was nothing short of fantastic and I highly recommend her and her work!

My mom found Corina after we met with another florist who barely spent 10 minutes with us and didn’t listen at all to what I wanted. I was devastated because we live out of town and I didn’t think we would find someone else from afar. We had an initial phone call with her which was amazing! She had a spreadsheet and walked through every potential floral arrangement we may need even things I hadn’t thought of at all. Afterwards, we felt so confident in her! We met again in person when we were back in town and she walked us through exactly what the tiers of pricing would mean for the centerpieces which even landed us on a less expensive option! She even called me a couple of times the week of the wedding to make sure she was getting the bridal bouquet just right. I can’t recommend her enough and she will be my go to local florist forever!

We had an Indian-American fusion ceremony in July of this year Corina and her team did a fabulous job of making our vision come to life. During the planning session Corina struck the perfect balance of helping us realize what we wanted and providing just enough options without overwhelming us. She is truly an artist! From the strings of colorful carnations that were the backdrop for the ceremony to the soft muted colors of the bouquets and everything in-between, the flowers were beautifully coordinated and staged. We specifically asked for jasmine which is hard to find but Corina was able to source it and include it in some of the arrangements. We couldn’t have been happier with the flowers and the service we received from The Botaniste!

Corina and her team did a great job with my wedding bouquets! In terms of decisions, flowers were lowest on my priority list. All I wanted were bouquets for myself and my bridesmaids, and I didn't have the faintest clue of what I wanted those to look like. Cue Corina. We talked basic color scheme and discussed some blooms I did/ did not like. She asked me how much I wanted to spend, and took care of the rest. I had no idea what my bouquets were going to look like until my wedding day, and I was not disappointed. They were simple and elegant and beautifully complimented my color scheme. Working with The Botaniste was a dream come true for this hands-off, low maintenance bride.

I highly recommend The Botaniste for your wedding needs! Corina is a talented florist. She "got" my vision for the wedding perfectly and put together the most beautiful bouquets, centerpiece greenery runners and floral pieces for our wedding day in June. I highly recommend The Botaniste for your wedding or any event!

I can't say enough about The Botaniste (Corina). The flowers at my daughter's wedding were perfect; exactly what the bride wanted. They were colorful and worked well with the beauty of our venue. Corina was wonderful to work with and stayed within out floral budget. From the ceremony to the reception, everything was gorgeous.

Absolutely love the flowers that The Botaniste did for my wedding on 11/4! They were so beautiful and colorful--there were even limes in the centerpieces which was so unique and cool! One week later and the centerpieces and my gorgeous bouquet are still thriving! Thank you!!

Words cannot express how thrilled and moved we were by our wedding flowers from The Botaniste. Corina and her team are professional, gifted artists who executed our vision with kindness, joy, and amazing expertise. We chose The Botaniste after finding that other area florists (all highly recommended to us) just didn’t feel like the right match. We didn't want staid, formal, "cookie cutter" arrangements. We wanted riotous color, texture, and shapes and seasonal, could-have-been-grown-in-the-backyard blooms. Corina immediately grasped our style. She helped us elaborate and articulate what we wanted and was as excited about our vision as we were. The Botaniste team made everything easy and seamless for us. We met with Corina once for the initial consultation, exchanged a few emails with Julie to work out the invoice, and had a 20-minute phone conversation with Corina a few weeks before the wedding – that’s it! On the day of, The Botaniste team delivered work that was exactly what we wanted and, at the same time, better than we could have imagined. Each arrangement was unique, inviting us to lean in to see, touch, and smell each element. And, O! the herbs! Tucked among the blooms were sage, rosemary, thyme, basil, eucalyptus, and mint, which gave off the most wonderfully subtle, intoxicating aromas. The sweetheart table centerpiece that Story made was simply a work of art! Several of our guests commented that they had never seen such amazing wedding flowers. We were so moved by the arrangements that we took a few of them with us on our honeymoon, so we could enjoy them as long as possible. We could not have been more delighted by The Botaniste; their work truly transformed our wedding ceremony and reception space into something we will never forget. Thank you to everyone at The Botaniste for sharing your talent with us on our wedding day!

Corina and her team did an beautiful job for our wedding. She was so attentive and passionate about her work when we met with her initially, that it was a no-brainer for us to book her as our florist! She loved all of our ideas and nailed our vision perfectly. I received so many compliments on the flower arrangements/bouquets, and she magnificently pulled in other colors and unique flowers that I have never even seen before! There were even some raspberries in the bouquets - amazing! The flowers came out better than I had even imagined, she is truly talented at what she does. We were so impressed with her work, and she really listened to what we were looking for - and she was very reasonably priced compared to many of the other florists we spoke to. One of our best decisions was booking Corina and her team for our wedding - we highly recommend her if you are looking for amazing, unique, beautiful flowers!

Corina and Sloan are incredible! So very happy we stumbled upon them during our hunt for florists - they are kind, thoughtful, and amazingly creative. Another advantage of working with the team at the Botaniste is their willingness to think outside of the box. We decided 2 days before our wedding to trust our instincts and move our ceremony indoors (this turned out to be a good idea: there was a torrential downpour the entire day). We called Corina and asked if there was any way she'd be able to adapt her plan for our trellis to move it indoors. She was calm and professional, and she happily made it work. We can't wait to use The Botaniste again any time we need flowers!

Words cannot express how wonderful Corina, Sloan, and the team at The Botaniste made my wedding. I went to Corina for my flowers because she exceptionally unique, and has a beautiful taste for gorgeous arrangements. During our consult, we discussed having a wildflower/just picked from the garden vibe. I had all different colors, different flowers, lots of greens. I was absolutely stunned and floored when I saw them on my wedding day, and actually quite emotional with how perfect my bouquet was. In fact, one of the most repeated compliments of the day was how absolutely gorgeous the floral centerpieces were. Corina also decorated the ceremony arbor, the aisle, and made boutonnieres and corsages for the wedding party. She was so wonderful through the whole planning process, and I had complete confidence leaving the arrangements in her hands. She went above and beyond my expectations. Not only that, but both Corina and Sloan were friendly, kind, approachable, supportive, and wonderful people to work with, which eased my mind during the wedding planning process. I cannot wait to visit the shop for all my future floral needs. Corina, thank you so much for helping to make my wedding day an absolute dream.
