David J. Bovier
David J. Bovier Proprietor & Creative Director David J. Bovier’s journey into the world of floral design began, as many of the best stories do, by chance. Over 30 years ago, he accepted a position at a small neighborhood flower shop—sweeping floors, processing stems, and learning the rhythms of the floral world from the ground up. Though the tasks were humble, the flowers captured his imagination. Their form, texture, and quiet drama awakened something in him. Recognizing David’s natural eye for design, the shop’s owners encouraged him to explore the craft more deeply. What followed was a devoted period of study: workshops, master classes, design seminars, and countless hours spent learning under the guidance of seasoned designers. Floral design became more than a skill—it became a calling. His next chapter brought him to St. Louis’ famed LaSalle Street—known as “Floral Row”—where he gained a deeper understanding of the wholesale side of the industry. It was here that David refined his knowledge of seasonality, sourcing, and quality—principles that continue to guide his work today. Over the years, David would go on to work with some of the region’s most respected high-end floral and design studios. These spaces, often blending floral artistry with fine furnishings, antiques, and interior design, further shaped his refined, layered approach to aesthetics. He absorbed not only technique but taste. In 2016, a new opportunity emerged—one that felt both serendipitous and inevitable. Ken Miesner, a name synonymous with elegance and excellence in floral design, was ready to entrust his beloved shop to a new steward. David, with his artistry, professionalism, and deep respect for tradition, was the natural choice. Today, as proprietor and creative director of Ken Miesner’s Flower Shoppe, David carries forward the legacy of excellence, sophistication, and beauty that has defined the shop since 1952. With a commitment to impeccable quality and elevated design, he continues to create arrangements that celebrate not only the flowers—but the people and moments they’re meant to honor.

About Ken Miesner's Flower Shoppe
Since 1971, Ken Miesner's Flower Shoppe has been THE destination for discerning shoppers looking to find the finest flowers anywhere in St. Louis. Our traditions of excellence, superior design, and service continue to be our defining hallmarks. The shop is a frequent finalist for customer choice polls and is proud to have been awarded the "Platinum List 2022 Best Florist in St. Louis" category winner.Our Story
Since 1952, our flower shop—originally known as Henderson’s Flowers—has been part of St. Louis’ most stylish history. Nestled in the chic West End on Euclid Avenue, the shop was surrounded by refined neighbors: stately homes built for the 1904 World’s Fair, luxury apartments, and the majestic St. Louis Cathedral. This was the heart of a cultured city, and our clientele reflected that: tasteful, loyal, and always expecting the best.
When Mr. Henderson was ready to pass the torch, a new chapter began under the stewardship of Ken Miesner. With a natural eye for elegance and an unwavering standard for excellence, Ken elevated the shop into something truly extraordinary. Weddings, galas, and private events became showcases of style. His floral arrangements weren’t just admired—they were remembered.
Soon after acquiring the shop, Ken was invited to move to a new kind of destination: Plaza Frontenac. With anchors like Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus, the mall promised a level of luxury previously unseen in the region. Ken saw the future—and brought his customers with him. They followed him not just for flowers, but for the experience: curated antiques, fine art, statuary, and even the charm of his beloved King Charles Spaniels. His boutique became as much a salon of beauty as a flower shop.
For over four decades, Ken Miesner’s Flower Shoppe flourished. It became synonymous with impeccable taste, discretion, and artistry. It was never just about flowers—it was about the feeling they gave, the memory they created, and the standard they upheld.
In 2016, after a remarkable career, Ken sought a successor with vision, integrity, and reverence for the craft. That person was David J. Bovier, an artist in his own right and a guardian of the shop’s rarefied legacy.
Today, under David’s thoughtful guidance, Ken Miesner’s Flower Shoppe continues to serve a discerning clientele with elegance, warmth, and exceptional artistry. Every stem is selected with care. Every arrangement tells a story. Nothing leaves our doors unless it is extraordinary.
We remain—by design—one-of-a-kind. And while our roots are deep, our blooms are ever fresh.
