For nearly two decades, St. Louis, Missouri has recognized the Botanicals name as synonymous with innovative floral design and impeccable personal service, for all occasions grand or intimate.
We invite you to experience Botanicals Design Studio, our one of a kind floral studio where every arrangement is truly custom designed. By consulting directly with one of our seasoned designers, your florals will reflect the exact mood and personality intended for your special occasion.
Allow us to deliver our exceptional creativity for your everyday occasions like birthdays and get-wells, or those once in a lifetime events like weddings and anniversaries. Our stunning tribute designs are unparalleled for their beauty and uplifting spirit. Unique special event designs for groups or corporations are also our forte.

Keith McDonnell and Dean Riebeling, owners of Botanicals Design Studio, have been designing beautiful florals and events together for over 18 years. Their collaboration began as enthusiastic employees of Botanicals on the Park, the store that revolutionized floral design in St. Louis starting in 1987.

From the beginning, Keith and Dean embodied the creative spirit necessary for prosperity in the ever changing floral industry. They shared the belief that focused care and attention to customers needs is the key to successfully designing the perfect arrangements. These qualities, combined with their talent and natural exuberance in the planning process, helped propel Botanicals to unparalleled levels of recognition in the St. Louis area.

Through the years, Botanicals on the Park grew, expanding extensively into gift lines and home decor. While the owner focused on this side of the business, Keith and Dean continued to lead the floral department of Botanicals to increasing levels of success.

In July of 2006, Keith and Dean opened Botanicals Design Studio, their own floral company, after the owner of Botanicals on the Park decided to close his business. Their new company focuses strictly on floral design and a select group of associated products.

Keith and Dean's company burst onto the scene with immediate success due to their well established reputation, continued attention to trends and development of new ideas. They completely re-designed their facility and assembled a gifted design staff of long time associates to satisfy increasing demand.

Botanicals Design Studio continues to serve a loyal and growing clientele through out the entire St. Louis area. Distinguished clients like The Ritz Carlton, The Director of The Missouri Botanical Garden, The St. Louis Symphony and The Four Season Hotel regularly rely on Botanicals to surpass the high standards of style and service expected by their clients.

Keith and Dean can often be seen on the road throughout the St. Louis area. They are regularly invited to perform their lively demonstrations on design and entertaining at prestigious events including The St. Louis Art Museum's Art in Bloom, Members Day at The Missouri Botanical Garden, and The Martha Stewart product launch at Macy's.

Botanicals Design Studio remains at the forefront of the floral design in St. Louis. Keith and Dean's long history of exceptional floral arrangements and enthusiastic personal service has solidified their position among the best in the floral industry. Along with the rest of their extraordinary team, Botanicals Design Studio continues to advance in the areas of floral gifts for all occasions; weddings and celebrations of all kinds; corporate functions and events; permanent florals for the home & office; and seasonal holiday decor.

Hi, Thanks for the thourough intro/about us message! Do you have 2 threads floating around?

Anyway, there were some questions on the new member sign up page that we would appreciate hearing your answers on. They are pretty basic, and will give us a little more information about you & your business.

Do you have a website?

Thanks!

p.s. If you answered the questions already and posted them, perhaps one of the admin's would PLEASE merge the threads?!?!?
 
while their intro is very flowery, they're professionalism, skill, and reputation is no-bull.
their enthusiasm and experience should be a great asset to FC!

welcome keith & dean!!!

This is from my reputation comments:
"the intro pretty much covers all the questions - what more do you need to know??"

Sorry if you misinterpereted, but I was not being @@@@@y, there are questions that EVERY new member is required to answer in order to be considered for membership. I was merely asking if I had missed your answers somewhere. Although I enjoyed reading your intro, I usually only have time to skim through the posts (like most members) and was just looking for some of the basic answers.

I am not questioning the quality of your charachter, just trying to create a level playing field for ALL applicants.

"Effective immediately the new applicant questions have been moved to above the answer box. This means a little more work for the applicants, but it also means they cannot submit the application without entering their answers."

....that doesn't seem to be working, not just here but in any of the new member intros.

Also botanicals, sounds like you are a-ok but don't take it personally that wildflowers asked you that, if not her, someone else would have. She is a great chick and hopefully didn't get an undeserved red dot.

Thanks Robin, It wasn't a red dot! I just cut the comment rather than explaining a new post.

Amy, I just green dotted you. :) Thanks for manning the gates so fairly and with class.
