I cannot say how gratifying it was to find a local small business that actually sat down with our bride(my stepdaughter) and went over differently priced options, instead of just throwing out a few price points like they were waiting for us to leave. I’ve bought various things at Botanicals since they opened, and their quality and creativity are consistent. You probably won’t spend more at a grocery store flower shop, because they are flexible. All of the flowers for the wedding were exquisite, and the owners are fantastic to work for. You seriously would have thought they were making arrangements for their own daughter. Excuse me while my eyes leak a little. They really made the wedding beautiful.

Love this place even though I’ve never been inside the shoppe. With extended family in the 314, I have a number of occasions to order arrangements. The owners are always helpful and the recipients always rave over the quality and originality of the product.

You get what you pay for, and what you get is work that is consistently spectacular and great service. You might save a few bucks at Dierbergs or somewhere else, but you might get something that looks cheap and maybe gives your mom or significant other the wrong impression about you; that you’re willing to do things half assed or that you don’t really care.

Just got off the phone with Keith, what a truly lovely man. He was so kind and patient while I went through all of his photos on his website and worked with me to get the perfect thing for my brother who just got out of surgery. Thank you Keith!

I live in California. My daughter recently moved to St. Louis for grad school. I wanted(or rather her dad ha!) to send her a nice bouquet for her 25th birthday. I went to Unilocal as I always do to look for recommendations. I called and spoke to Keith, one of the owners who was very pleasant. We agreed on a price and bouquet style – tropical modern. They delivered to my daughter’s door the next day on her birthday.(I’m not good at remembering ahead of time). My daughter couldn’t have been happier! She said, «tell Dad they’re the prettiest flowers I’ve ever received». All Keith has to do is call me every year on her birthday and I’ll order flowers from him.

I am also very happy with this store. I dont remember the guy’s name but he was very patient on the phone. I told him my daughter was in St. Louis alone, he said he would create an arrangment that would make her feel special, words warmed my heart first. Indeed my daughter just sent me a picture of the flower arrangement and I am very happy, it is beautiful and elegant. I am glad I found this store in Unilocal

Botanicals Design Studio did the flowers for my St. Louis wedding. Dean was so wonderful to work with – he reviewed all the details with me leading up to the wedding day, and I was not disappointed! The flowers were absolutely breathtaking. I would recommend this florist to anyone needing flowers for a special event – they do an amazing job and are extremely reliable!

We ordered special arrangements for a family memorial with a baseball rivalry theme and to be delivered to Jefferson Barracks. Keith went out if his way to confirm delivery instructions, proactive triaged options for me and provided exceptional customer service. Would highly recommend!

I needed a small arrangement for a grieving friend and they designed an elegant bouquet to cheer her mood. It expressed my feeling at a time when I couldn’t be there in person. Perfect customer service.

I was looking to send flowers to someone in St. Louis, and found this place via Google(I much prefer using actual local florists vs generic 1−800-FLOWERS-type places). I chose this florist pretty randomly, as I liked some of the examples on their website. I really lucked out! I just gave some vague instructions about what I wanted to spend on a «rustic Thanksgiving centerpiece – like with cool sticks and stuff» and I was so impressed by the arrangement that they put together without much direction. It contained really unique flowers, was quite modern and tasteful, and seemed like a crazy good deal for what I spent. They were also super friendly to work with over the phone. Highly recommend!

I’ve bought BDS boutonnieres and corsages for school dances for my kids. Designers are super sweet about matching a dress and packaging them so nice even though it is not a big sale. But when I received a bouquet from my boss from here i was blown away! It was so beautiful and fresh! Each day a different flower opened up and made it a changing bouquet! it lasted a full 10 days and really cheered me every time I walked by. This was special, it reminded me of the excitement we always felt when my dad sent my mom flowers for a special occasion. In the past I’ve received plants, cheep flowers, half-dead flowers and even flowers delivered in a box from other florists, Sometimes we need to be reminded that while a handful of flowers from the grocery are convenient, receiving a BDS bouquet is exciting and worth the wait. {Tim I hope you get the hint} :)

I worked with Keith for my wedding flowers and had a great experience! From start to finish they were easy to work with, within my budget and the flowers were beautiful. BDS has done flowers for two of my friends’ weddings and they did a fabulous job. Aside from wedding flowers, I’ve also received and sent flowers-they were beautiful and fresh.

I used BDS for my wedding. I could not have been happier. Dean worked with me and my budget. He was helpful, not pushy and did everything with patience and kindness. We live close and I will use them as my florist from here on out. They are talented and professional.

Wonderful florist, quality product, delivery exactly as promised! I’ve had multiple bad experiences with the national floral companies(poor quality and substitutions for what was promised, delivery issues) so was very happy to find Botanicals Design Studios. Website has many helpful ideas for both price and design, and they were extremely helpful over the phone since I was calling from Seattle.

A great place for truly stunning and unique floral arrangements. I love this store and so do my sister and brother in law. The arrangements are truly art and really stand out. It’s great for people who are not lovers of the standard boring FTD type floral displays and are looking for a bit more elegant and inspired. No matter what the season or occasion Botanicals really have a wow factor. The first word that comes to mind is special. I love their wreaths especially. I also adore that whenever I get flowers from here people are absolutely delighted with them and talk about them. Not only do they make floral art pieces, they carry cool vases and other vessels for your flowers. Ceramics, glass, metals, you name it and they have it. They also feature the Tuscan and Greek inspired artwork of local native artist Terry Lay. If you are looking for a cut above, Botanicals On The Park is the place to go.

If you’re in the grand area and need to pick up flowers this is a great place. I found this little gem when i was picking up soup for my girlfriend who was not feeling well, and i thought a little flower would brighten up her day. The shop keeper was extremely friendly and helpful. I explained to him my situation and he helped me pick out the perfect flower, which was a yellow gerber daisy. So if you have a date in the grand area and want to add a little charm i definitely suggest stopping by here and picking up a flower. They also have some really nice professional arrangements. BTW the store front right now says botanicals design studio. I’m not sure if they are in the process of changing names or what, but Unilocal has it listed as Botanicals on the park.
