The most energetic, joyful and devoted florist! Madeline creates magic in flowers!
Madeleine Shelton, the queen of Botanicamuse, was absolutely wonderful! We got married in November 2021 in downtown San Diego, and we requested a modern twist to a Fall-inspired wedding. We didn't want anything too cliche, but just enough to make people feel the season. We provided a theme, and inspiration pictures, and left the rest to her. Madeleine definitely delivered! We had a whimsical, fairytale wedding. She was so creative, adding things like pomegranates mixed in with beautiful shades of orange, cream, and white flowers. Madeleine was so kind during the pandemic to stay patient with us, our forever changing plans, and our crazy work schedules. 10/10 would recommend, our wedding was STUNNING because of her flower power.
Madeleine was fantastic to work without throughout our year of wedding planning. She helped us fine tune our vision and brought it to life in the most creative way possible. We were overjoyed by how beautifully our wedding design turned out and I’d highly recommend Botanicamuse to any brides looking for unique and special wedding florals. Madeleine is a joy to work with!
Madeleine is a floral genius! Her flowers became the star of our wedding in the best way possible. She was flexible and was able to change our color palette from the original winter color scheme to something more springtime when we changed our wedding date> What she created kept my original vision for colors but transformed it to fit the season. She made these beautiful bracelet corsages for the mothers that they loved. Madeleine is so sweet to work with and you and all your guests will love the flowers if you choose her.
Madeleine gave me the floral arrangements I couldn’t have even imagined for my wedding. When we initially consulted, I was a deer in headlights and didn’t really know what I wanted. She talked with me about my colors/moods and we collabed and came up with the perfect vision board. She discussed what was realistic and let me know what wasn’t. When she delivered mine and my sister’s bouquet on my wedding day, I was floored on how beautiful it was. I got so many compliments! I would recommend her to anyone looking for that needed spark for their special day. 10/10 would recommend. The bouquets and arrangements were one of the best parts of my special day. Thank you, Madeleine and her team!
Madeleine is WONDERFUL! As an out of town bride, we talked over the phone and through email for months before. She totally understood what I was going for and took it above and beyond.
I was never nervous that we hadn’t met in person because she got EVERY detail. And she showed that with the digital mock-up. I was able to understand her vision along with mine and COULD NOT WAIT to see it in real life!
Being an out of town bride (not to mention- covid bride), we were having a very low-key 11 person wedding. Madeleine stepped up and made it the most memorable and beautiful night.
I don’t even have all the words to share how absolutely wonderful Madeleine is. I didn’t want her to leave because she was a PART of our wedding. But I let her because she was probably pretty tired after that set up :) I honestly don’t know what I would have done without her on our wedding day! I LOVE YOU!
AMAZING!! BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS!! HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Madeleine is truly an artist and really cares about you and bringing your vision to life! When I saw my wedding flowers and cake flowers I cried! They were so beautiful!! I couldn’t stop looking at them and the attention to detail was stunning! Words can't express how beautiful they were! Madeleine really took the time to get to know me and listen to all my ideas and inspirations. It was such an amazing experience! Botanicamuse is very professional, caring, super reliable, quick to respond, and they go above and beyond to make your special day extra special! <3 Words can't express how grateful I am to Madeleine! The flowers were so beautiful!!! 100% recommend!!!
When I asked my planner for recommendations on florists, she suggested Madeleine and I could not have been happier. We originally made amazing design and floral ideas for our 200 person wedding. She was professional and creative about it all. She understood our venue and created a thoughtful and budget friendly proposal taking into account our venue's different spaces. When COVID changed our wedding plans, she was willing to completely change plans with us to do florals for our backyard wedding and then our reception a year later. I cannot express how wonderful our flowers were on our wedding day. After people see the pictures, that is the first thing they comment on because they are so unique and beautiful. I was truly awe-ed by the beauty and the way she used her creative flair to completely tailor my vision of the day and make the flowers fit perfectly. She went above and beyond, and also made individual seating cards for each person at the event too (which was a wonderful surprise to me!). She is truly the best and would recommend her to anyone for their wedding flowers.
I first met Madeleine at a wedding where I was a part of the bridal party. She nailed the whimsy, romantic vibe, and even added tropical touches that personified the bride. She was a joy to work with, and her work is second-to-none. So, when our destination wedding was cancelled due to covid, I knew exactly who I wanted for our local elopement florist.
Even with short notice, Madeleine composed a stunning mood board with all the elements I wanted, and even designed a boutonnière and hair comb for the event. Not only were her pieces phenomenal, Madeleine also presented them to me in a gorgeous display so that the “getting ready” photos with the rings were decorative as well. She leaves no detail untouched, and anyone who uses Botanicamuse will be absolutely in awe of her talent.
Madeleine is a true floral designer! I had the pleasure of working with Botanicamuse on a recent wedding. As a Wedding Planner, I look for vendors that listen to my clients vision. Madeleine not only listened, she took in account every factor from the vision to the texture, the angles, the shapes and created unique masterpieces. She is truly a Gem in the wedding industry!
Madeleine is a "wow" designer! She brings such vibrancy & texture to her floral designs, which makes her artistry stand out in the industry. We have worked together on some events and she's passionate, caring, detail-oriented, full of ideas and inspiration and absolutely loves serving her clients with custom designs. She makes the designing process simple and fun. And if you can dream it, she can design and install it perfectly. I look forward to any events we get to work together and know she brings her clients such joy in all she does for them.
My husband and I got married in July and it was really our dream wedding <3 Madeleine did such a wonderful job with our flowers and art direction in our ceremony location and our reception, it was dreamy.
Early in the process of planning our wedding we were overwhelmed but planning with Madeleine was easy because she really does a great job of painting a picture visually with photographs as well as with with words describing her goal for our floral direction. We picked out specific themes to direct the vibe we were going for. For me, I wanted a very flower girl- classic rock vibe and she really delivered that. Everyone was commenting how our wedding was so us! Her proposal was really organized and visually guided us through what our wedding day flowers would look like. Any changes we wanted to add or tweak were really easy which was reassuring.
Our ceremony arch was so beautiful inside the barn where we
said, "I do." I adored my bouquet and the bouquets my bridesmaids held that day. The groom and groomsmen boutonnieres were super adorable and tied into the overall theme and look very well. When we got to our reception area, Madeleine knowing that I love chamomile and purple, had found these precious vases and our tables were more beautiful than I could have imagined. Our tables looked unique to our style, and our couple table was so exciting to see!! She really hit the nail on the head for us and we recommend her with out a doubt for any wedding or event. Thank you Botanica Muse!!
Simply put, Madeleine is amazing. She was present every step of the way when we were planning our wedding, incredibly communicative and easy to work with. She actively listened to what we had envisioned and she turned it into so much more. She took elements near and dear to our hearts and made it happen! Not to mention, the flowers were absolutely incredible! We feel so lucky that our planner, Catherine, referred us to Botanicamuse. Thank you Madeleine for all your hard work and thoughtfulness, we are just dying with how well everything turned out!
Madeleine has so much inspiration and talent! Shes the perfect “flower artist” and has vision that would far exceed any expectations. She was friendly, easy to work with and easy to communicate with. I never thought flowers were a huge priority when it came to wedding planning and she changed my mine. When I look back at my wedding photos my favorite collection was of details and design which included my flowers. They were beautifully whimsical and unique and my wedding was more beautiful then I could have ever imagined. Thank you!!
Madeleine and her team did an amazing job bringing my floral and decor vision to life for my wedding. She was professional, timely, worked within my budget and a true creative talent. My guests were blown away at the beauty she created!
Madeleine was AMAZING! She brought a tons of ideas to the table and incorporated our style into everything. She presented us with several options and thought outside the box to make our wedding unique! Above all else she was very sweet and funny to work with, we would highly recommend her for any event!
My family was so pleased with the work Madeline did for my sister's wedding, it was a no brainer but to hire her for mine as well. She did an INCREDIBLE job for our wedding. We were unsure of the exact style and look we were going for and Madeline put us at so much ease and really captured what we were going for without us even being able to express it. In the conversations leading up to the wedding, Madeline asked great questions and put together incredible vision boards to really help get a feel for what the flowers would look like for our wedding. I have a hard time visualizing things in my head but Madeline did a great job deciphering what look we were going for. The day of the wedding, I was in awe of the arranges she put together for us. She brought together the perfect combination of flowers and made it even more perfect then I could have imagined.
Madeleine is one of the sweetest vendors we worked with to execute our wedding. She was approachable, enthusiastic, and just genuinely a kind, nice to be around human being. Aside from her personal qualities that stood out, she was a steadfast worker with an ambition, ease, and maturity that was well beyond her years. It was nice to see a young, female business owner with such a zest for her craft, while also being organized and easy to work with.
The theme of our wedding was a classic, timeless California coastal meets country club aesthetic. Madeleine produced a beautiful blend of simplistic greens (without being rustic, which we were personally attempting to avoid) and bright, clean whites (and found bright white blooms instead of creams, which we were also trying to avoid). She also sourced unique blooms and selected beautifully chic vessels to house them in. She also meticulously executed pillar candles for our walkway, candles for the bar shelving, and decor for our sweetheart table. The result, in my opinion, was a nuanced and demure decor scheme that will stand the test of time, but was anything but boring. Her work was understated, romantic, and the best kind of simple. Thank you Madeleine, from the bottom of our hearts, for helping to make our wedding day as refined and elegant (without being stuffy) as we hoped.
Madeleine made all my floral dreams come true! My friend had worked with her before and told me I had to speak with her because she is the best out there. She not only took the time to understand exactly what colors and style I wanted, but she also offered ideas to stay within my budget. I felt she was just as excited as I was and put all her energy into experimenting with different options for our centerpieces. I trusted her completely. She communicated every detail during the planning process and leading up to the big day. In the end, everything she delivered was better than I could have imagined and I got so many compliments from guests. She put so much care and attention to each bouquet, boutonniere, centerpiece, and table display. It was one of the highlights of my night! I highly recommend Madeleine.
Maddie created the most beautiful flower crown for me on my wedding day. Inspired by Hawaiian lei po’o, my crown had the most stunning mini orchids, ti leaves, and ferns. Bringing my love of the islands to my wedding was something that was so important to me on my wedding day and I wouldn’t have trusted anyone but Maddie to make my vision come to fruition. Outside of her natural artistic ability, Maddie is also responsible, trustworthy, organized, prompt, and professional. She has my highest regards and I could not recommend her enough.
Working with Madeleine was amazing! She is so much fun and we connected right off the bat. Her spunky personality shines in every piece she creates. She created the look of my dreams by incorporating the gorgeous fall season and added leaves, berries, and pumpkins to varying arrangements. The unique textures and bold colors were extraordinary, and each piece made its own statement as each had a different feel and flow. I highly recommend Botanicamuse !!
Our company contracted Botanicamuse to create florals for a client reception that we hosted at the Hotel Republic. The florals were fantastic, fresh, and perfectly arranged. After the event, our clients were thrilled to take them home! Madeleine was a pleasure to work with. She provided a seamless experience from start to finish and she exceeded our expectations. She has clear communication, was punctual to deliver the florals day-of, and truly cares about her customers. She brought our vision to life with her creativity. Madeleine is truly an expert in her field and we hope to book her again next year!
The cascade bouquet for my wedding that Madeleine created was absolutely stunning. I was pleasantly surprised by her beautiful creation that I proudly carried on my wedding day.
I have had the pleasure of knowing Madeleine for a long time now. When it came time to picking wedding flowers, there was no question that I was going to use Maddie. She had seen my style develop throughout our friendship and she truly enveloped it on our special day with mixes of soft romantic flowers and lush tropical greenery- she absolutely nailed it out of the park. From creating a huge altar piece down to my bouquet, everything was truly magnificent and I can't speak enough good things about her! Truly a delight to work with and a true natural in the business! I would highly highly recommend!
I am SO happy I decided to go with Madeleine at Botanicamuse to create our florals for our wedding. She did a phenomenal job! I didn’t need much, just personals (bridal bouquet, bridesmaid’s bouquets, boutonnieres, etc.) and a creation for our ceremony backdrop. I was doing the centerpieces and all other décor myself. But even with the small order, Madeleine really listened to what I wanted and envisioned. We had an initial talk where we simply chatted about me and my fiancé (now husband) and what our dynamic was and and how I wanted our wedding to feel. We discussed color schemes and the general look I was going for. As the wedding approached, we touched base again to finalize the look and make sure we were on the same page. We talked through my Pinterest board and I let her know what I liked and didn’t like about various images. And with that I let her do her thing! And I’m so happy I did because I couldn’t be more thrilled with the end result. The bouquets were perfect – colorful, whimsical, with various textures, but not too big (because I didn’t want a giant bouquet ha).
Then on the day of the wedding, Madeleine was to create a floral display on a pallet wall for our ceremony backdrop. She was thrown a curveball when she found out she had to use a couple barrels to hold up the pallet wall. So in the moment, Madeleine tweaked her original design and worked with what she had. And it looked awesome!! I had seen an initial sketch of the design and it was beautiful but what she pulled off was just as amazing.
Towards the end of all the planning when our wedding day was just around the corner, I realized that I could only control so much and give so much direction (I was getting consumed with the details…), and at the end of the day, you have to let the professionals do what they do best. You hired them for a reason! I gave Madeleine the freedom to do her thing and she exceeded all expectations.
Madeline was such a pleasure to work with! She is communicative, punctual, polite, adorable and TALENTED. She delivered flowers that matched exactly as we had discussed: lush, earthy, whimsical, fall glam...they were stunning! I appreciate her artist eye, with which she offered helpful suggestions regarding flower selection and color pallets. She always reminded in contact with me and let me bombard her with gobs of emails, but handled it with true grace! My flowers were a very important detail of my day that I didn't need to think about because I knew she would deliver. Thank you Madeline for making the big day extra beautiful! I think I fall more in love with my bouquet a little more every time I reminisce on my wedding day!
Madeleine did a beautiful job with my bridal bouquet and bouttonieres. I had a very specific look and types of flowers and colour palette I wanted for my bouquet and Madeleine listened carefully and delivered. I received lots of compliments and she is very passionate about her work and doing a great job for her bridal clients.
I have had the pleasure of knowing Madeleine for many years now, and when it came time for booking my wedding flowers she was the first and only florist I spoke with. Being in the wedding industry as well I have admired Mad's work for a long time now, and was so excited to finally be able to receive the first hand goodness that are her flowers! She truly has the most incredible talent with florals and is such a natural when it comes to her installation creations. My bouquet was a crazy massive piece that Madeleine and I drew up together, and she really made my cascading deep red whimsical flowers with natural fern and green accent tones come true. I can't speak highly enough of this gal! From all steps in the creative process she really works hard with her clients to capture their vision and execute it to a precision on their big day. BOOK HER!
We will forever be in love with all of our floral arrangements from our wedding day! Madeleine is beyond creative and truly deserves all the praise in the world for her beautiful work. When we started down the path of figuring out what I wanted for flowers, I felt completely lost. I reached out to a few florists and felt as though a lot of them were trying to tell me I needed to know exactly what I wanted up front. Problem was, my thoughts were all over the place and I needed some guidance. As soon as I got in touch with Madeleine I immediately felt at ease and the process was seamless! I knew I wanted an eclectic look with greenery incorporated. I showed her the colors of my bridesmaids’ dresses and she transformed my not so clear visions into a breathtaking array of greenery and blooms! She created our bouquets, flower crowns, boutonnieres, ceremony arbor/arch, ceremony aisle way, centerpieces and every little detail was stunning. I didn’t realize I would become so obsessed and attached to my bouquet, but it was the biggest and most beautiful arrangement I had ever seen. I felt like a flower goddess. When Madeleine delivered our bouquets and crowns, each had a cute tag with her own handwritten calligraphy and she wrote me the sweetest note. On top of everything, she also went out of her way to make arrangements for us to use some of the flowers for the centerpieces the night before at our rehearsal dinner. Madeleine was an awesome communicator throughout the entire process, she sent me check in emails as well as ideas to build off of. We also really appreciated how quickly she got back to us with a quote so we could get a ballpark understanding of where we were at budget wise. She was so patient with me and continually made updates to our contract as I found myself wanting to add things in here and there. Aside from her insane talent, professionalism and expertise, Madeleine is SO much fun to be around and work with. She’s sweet, spunky and her personality shines through her artwork. We cannot thank Madeleine enough for making our wedding day so special and dreamy. We would highly recommend Botanicamuse for ALL of your wedding florist needs!
Madeleine the fearless owner of Botanicamuse is what I call passionate and my husband and were honored with her work for our wedding day. She is passionate for life, love, and all pretty things that grow from the earth. She listens to you and what you are looking for, but creates pieces of artwork so eloquent; it’s more than your dreams can ever create.

Madeleine is so honest and pure in what she does, I trusted her with everything. All I gave her was the color pallet I was looking for. She went above and beyond ANYTHING I could have ever imagined for that special day. I don’t believe Madeleine is just a florist for your wedding or event; she is an artist sculpting a space to make it flow, stand out, and swoon anyone witnessing it. As I have said above passionate is the perfect word to describe Madeleine when it comes to her business. Her passion shines through what she does, and she creates pieces that are something out of a dream. She is honest and fair in her pricing and opinions to make sure everything will look right, and she made our wedding complete with her art. I am forever grateful for what she contributed to that day because it was more than perfect and more than what any word could ever describe. Don’t just choose Botanicamuse for your event, trust Madeleine with the task to create wonderful stand out pieces. Her work will forever jump out from our wedding photos and make me still in awe of how special she helped make our day.
