To set decorators, you pass a 'decorators' array in the options passed
to the constructor. I'm going to reformat your example above and add the
decorators:

$form = new Zend_Form(array(
'elementDecorators' => array(
'ViewHelper',
array('Description', array('tag' => 'div', 'class' => 'help')),
'Errors',
array('Label'),
array('HtmlTag', array('tag' => 'div', 'class' => 'field'))
),
'decorators' => array(
'FormElements',
array('HtmlTag', array('tag' => 'div')),
'Form',
),
));

That's all there is to it. There's no reason to add the
'disableLoadDefaultDecorators' option, as if any decorators are provided
during initializaiton, the default decorators will not be loaded.
