The Manic Botanic

Our flowers were sooo beautiful. From the first bridal show I saw The Manic Botanic at I knew we wanted them to do our wedding. They were great to work with from the very beginning!

Dear Lillian, The flower arrangements made for our wedding day were more beautiful than we imagined. My bouquet in particular was the most beautiful bouquet I have ever seen. The size and color of the orchids was amazing. Thank you so much for providing us with beautiful flowers for the bridesmaids and myself. Sincerely, Annemarie & Jimmy Kehler November...

We just had our wedding at St. Paul’s in Stone Harbor and reception at Congress Hall in Cape May. We had a very specific vision for the flowers for the wedding and Lillian at the Manic Botanic exceeded our expectations!!!! Not only was she wonderful to work with, her design talents, her suggestions and the colors and everything we were going for made our maids, men and venues ever the more beautiful. We could not be more pleased with how everything turned out. We had the perfect combinations of oranges and hot pinks for the perfect autumn day. Our little flower girls carried moss purses filled hot pink and orange roses and matching wreaths in their hair. My 10 maids and 12 men had amazing coxcomb and roses that were fuller than full. The church, the pews, the cocktail tables, the placecard table, the tables, it was over the top gorgeous. We were just overwhelmed when they were delivered that morning and so very pleased. We cannot wait to get our photos from the photographer so we can look at the flowers again and share them for everyone to see Lillian’s beautiful art. Thank you! ~Katie & John

We used Manic Botanic for our entire wedding parties flowers. It was a fall beach wedding and they were amazing. The arrangement and colors were exactly what we envisioned. They were extremely professional and accommodating.

Lillian, Kathy, Tammy and the whole team at Manic Botanic are amazing. The flowers and the arrangements they came up with for my fall wedding at the shore were the most beautiful and breath taking flowers I have ever seen. Our venue looked like a photo shoot! All of our guests were raving about the flowers and said they were the most incredible arrangements they have ever seen. Manic Botanic truly brought my vision of our wedding day into a reality. It was so beautiful I wished the day would have never ended. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

AMAZING! AMAZING! AMAZING! I had a truly wonderful experience working with The Manic Botanic! They made my vision a reality and then some!!! All of the flowers for my wedding were absolutely breathtaking! The ceremony décor was phenomenal! The centerpieces were stunning! The bouquets were gorgeous! My guests are still talking about my centerpieces and the ceremony décor! They did such a FANTASTIC job! Thank you so much to The Manic Botanic for making my day with your excellent service and magnificent designs!!! Michelle

Lets just say The" Manic Botanic Team" MADE OUR WEDDING!!!! Lillian, Kathy, Tammy, Christina, and TC WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND TO MAKE SURE OUR DAY WAS PERFECT! AND IT WAS!!!! From the Moment I walked through the doors of Manic Botanic I felt Special. I really liked that they wanted the flowers not only be what we wanted but to compliment our personality! Lillian spends as much time with you as you need and HAS LOTS AND LOTS OF GREAT IDEAS! They made sure I did not forget about one thing and If I did- they would take care of it and not make a big deal about it! I truly cannot thank them enough for all of there hard work- The feeling that we had when we saw the room for the first time will stay in our hearts forever!

I absolutely adored the work that the manic girls did for my december wedding! They were easy to talk to and filled with ideas to help me tie everything into my theme. The floral arrangements on the table were simple yet stunning the bouquets were to die for i felt like a princes. Manic was willing to work with my budget and took the time to make my event their number one focus and my taste and request were expressed in their beautiful designs. Manic Botanic not only has flowers but was able to provide me with a bird cage flower girl baskets and many other bits and pieces to make my wedding day as perfect as it was. I can not begin to express in words how much of a blessing these girls and their talent was to me on my day. I would recommend them to everyone and anyone for any special occasion. Not only did they work around my needs but they traveled to me on long island to be apart of the most amazing day of my life i couldn't have done it without you manic girls thank you always. The flowers made the day and our guests still ask us about the florist and compliment on the beauty and detail that they put into making our day absolutely perfect.

Absolutely beautiful!! No one does flowers like the manic botanic!! Lillian is absolutely phenomenal at making your wedding flowers gorgeous!! There is just something about her vision and arrangements! With normal flower arrangements, you admire the beauty, but with Lillian's I am always intriqued and find myself staring and lingering on every petal, leaf and bud!! There is something about her composition, color scheme and quality that I just can not get over. Lillian is definitely the best!!!

If we could rate the Manic Botanic higher than a 5 out of 5, we would! My husband and I visited with Lillian Bashenko early one Saturday (during a terrible storm, too) without any concrete idea of what we wanted. By the end of our hour, Lillian had asked all the right questions, shown us photos and actual displays, that we had a clearer vision of what we wanted for the wedding. From that point on, we communicated predominantly over e-mail, which was helpful since we lived so far away. My bouquet, the bridesmaid's bouquets, the table arrangements were all phenomenal. The arrangements blew us away, and will be forever cherished in our photographs. Let's put it this way, our guests were negotiating with each other who got to take home the arrangements. Thank you Manic Botanic, you were wonderful!!!

Manic Botantic created 3 different centerpieces for our reception tables and also rented us the birdcage card holder. They were absolutely wonderful to work with and have beautiful arrangements. We were all quite pleased with the turnout and the room looked stunning!

We cannot say enough nice things about working with Manic Botanic for our wedding. The girls were great to work with. We didn't have very many ideas but they took what we had and ran with it. I trusted them to make it happen and boy did they! From our ceremony flowers to the centerpieces to the girl's bouquets, all were beautiful and well thought out. We had to add flowers to the cake last minute. We put the responsibility in their hands and the cake turned out amazing. All of the flowers were fresh and beautiful. We highly recommend them.

Lillian and her crew provided me with top notch flowers for my beach themed wedding. They took care of everything and did all the little touches I was looking for. The colors were perfect and the placement at our venue was breathtaking! Manic Botanic took the time to find out what I really wanted and was able to show me things in person to nail down all the details! They made me such a happy bride!

I absolutely LOVED the flowers that Manic Botanic did for our wedding. I'm not really a "flower" person, but I was still blown away by how beautiful the bouquets and centerpieces were. The people at Manic Botanic were completely professional, accommodating, and were able to add some special touches that we requested.

Manic Botanic provided me with my bouquet, mother's bouquets, and boutinnere's for our wedding. I had heard very good things about Lillian and her staff and was impressed at the consultation so I decided to book them. My bouquet was nice. I had given them a picture from Martha Stewart and asked that the flowers be made from locally sourced farms which they were able to do. My only complaint was the they did not wrap the bouquet as I had asked them to (we used a scarf that belonged to my grandma) which I ended up fixing myself the morning of the wedding. Additionally, I was attempting to contact them about 3-4 days before the wedding and their phone line was not working properly which made me very anxious as a bride
