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.

Madeleine and the Botanicamuse team were fantastic to work with throughout our year of wedding planning! Botanicamuse’s creativity and ability to bring our vision to life was brilliant. Madeleine really takes the time to listen and innovate on the designs to make sure her brides are 100% satisfied on the day of the wedding. I can’t imagine a better floral designer to partner with throughout the process. We were blown away by how beautiful our wedding weekend turned out, thanks to these beautiful floral designs and our guests are still talking about our beautiful flowers.

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.
— Ellen
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.
— Erika
Botanicamuse is very professional, caring, super reliable, quick to respond, and they go above and beyond to make your special day extra special! Words can't express how grateful I am to Madeleine! The flowers were so beautiful!!! 100% recommend!!!

Madeleine is a "wow" designer! She brings such vibrancy & texture to her floral designs, which makes her artistry stand out in the industry.
— Allison
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!
— Chloe
Madeleine Shelton, the queen of Botanicamuse, was absolutely wonderful… 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 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!
- Ellen
Madeleine was fantastic to work with 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!
- Kelly
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.

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 awed 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 Joshua Tree 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.
- Megan
Madeleine has so much inspiration and talent! She’s 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!
- Lindsay
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!
- Brigid
Madeleine did a beautiful job with my bridal bouquet and boutonnieres. 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.

My experience with Madeleine Shelton of Botanicamuse was beautiful and wonderfully positive! My husband had died after a long illness and we decided to have the Celebration of Life at our home. I hired Madeleine to do the flowers. My state of mind was a blur so I gave her little direction and allowed her to do whatever she wanted. We discussed budget and she came to do the job. My friends and family were so pleased with her amazing results. Madeleine put together several huge beautiful arrangements that went with the season and my home design and interiors. The work was stunning! The arrangements Madeleine created were beautiful, creative and the whole experience was very comforting. I loved working with Madeleine because I couldn’t really think or imagine anything as my husband had just died. I had no idea what I wanted or what would make sense. But fortunately Madeleine did! Everyone remarked how amazing the flowers were. Really first class design, organization, and service.
- Rita
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.

When it came time for booking my wedding flowers [Madeleine] 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!
– Amy
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!
- Sarah
I highly recommend Botanicamuse for a wedding florist - I had such a great experience working with Madeleine and my wedding florals turned out to be exactly what I hoped for! Madeleine is a quick communicator, really listens to what you want and has a way of really creating your vision for your wedding day. What I appreciated most was the initial consult call where Madeleine asked questions about me and helped me to figure out what I hoped my wedding day would look like. She so was incredible about working with me to stay within our budget. Madeleine was great about making changes when needed and also offering great ideas and suggestions that made the day so beautiful. I highly recommend Madeleine and Botanicamuse!
- Katie
I am SO happy I decided to go with Madeleine at Botanicamuse to create our florals for our wedding. She did a phenomenal job… 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… 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 thrown a curveball when she found out she had to use a couple barrels to hold up the pallet wall [at the ceremony]. 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… I gave Madeleine the freedom to do her thing and she exceeded all expectations.

Oh, Madeleine, Madeleine, Madeleine... girl is a genius. My husband and I were wed in a beautiful and intimate ceremony with family in La Jolla in February. The care, the craft, the beauty... Her pieces are truly exceptional, and I knew I wanted to work with her prior to speaking/booking. Through the planning process, she was communicative, professional, and a delight to talk to.
On the day of the wedding, she arrived early to set up florals and garland in the chapel, and met with my family and me in the bridal room to present the bouquet, boutonnières, and corsages prior to first look.When she handed me my bouquet... good grief! We're talkin' ALL the heart-eye, praise hand emojis. I would HIGHLY recommend Botanicamuse for event florals. Madeleine is a flower wizard and I'm so grateful to have experienced a bit of her magic on that truly magical day.
- Allison
Madeleine 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 remained 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 Madeleine 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!
- Bree
I never knew anything about flowers or really even cared about flowers until I met Madeleine. Now I am absolutely obsessed with beautiful blooms! Her floral designs are magical and totally made my wedding. We got married at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park and her designs stood out among the lush environment without overwhelming it. The whole night people were coming up to me in awe of the florals. She is fabulous to work with and was somehow able to completely understand my floral dreams without me realizing I had any! Not only were her designs to die for, but she was also so accommodating and was able to come up with creative ways to work with my budget. Madeleine is an incredibly talented and sweet designer and I am so grateful that I got to work with her. Don't pass up the opportunity to work with her if you can, just be warned that you'll end up with a lifelong flower obsession!
- Jessica
Madeleine did the florals for my wedding and she was absolutely fantastic. She was so easy to work with--personable, attentive, and communicative. She is straight forward and asked lots of questions to really get a grasp of what I wanted and then suggested her own ideas of how to make my personal vision even better! From our first phone conversation I knew that I wanted her to be a part of my wedding! She is creative and original, her work is beautiful! I've gotten so many compliments from guests about our wedding flowers.
- Jenna
Madeleine was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. She is understanding and easy to talk to, especially if you are unsure about exactly what you want. I trusted her vision and experience and she really delivered a beautiful display of greenery for my wedding day. I would highly recommend working with her if you have the opportunity to!
- Sabrina
Madeleine was an absolute dream to work with! From the start, she was communicative, professional, and quick to respond. Beyond that, she's just a lovely down to earth person that has a wonderful eye and is a true artist! She had so many creative ideas to take our wedding to the next level and the best decision I made was to tell her to go for it! The floral arrangements were phenomenal-they fit the venue and our style perfectly and were extremely unique.
