David Winston

Owner

Growing up immersed in the family business on Newbury Street, David learned to love flowers at an early age. He fondly recalls time spent helping with deliveries, cutting flowers and wiring pinecones while working in the shop after school. Among his favorite memories are buying trips with his father to local greenhouses, nurseries and the Boston flower market. Today, he continues the tradition of personally visiting each of our growers, from New England family farms to European exporters, and maintains longstanding relationships with them. He also regularly visits our retail shops, and works closely with the design team in the studio on the presentation of the shops and collections. He delights in finding unique products and new varieties to keep Winston's on the cutting edge—always fresh and evolving, while staying true to our founding values.

Ted Winston

Owner

Helping after school and during summer breaks in his family's shop on Newbury Street provided Ted with an invaluable hands-on education in all aspects of the flower business, from wholesale and operations to accounting and, what would become his forte, client relationships. He had many occasions to observe his father's knack for making people feel special, from giving a small child a rose to inviting the staff upstairs for family dinner after closing hour on Sundays, and those early lessons in customer service and team building continue to guide him today. Integrating cutting-edge technology with time-honored personal service, Ted has taken Winston's to a new level of excellence. Ever passionate about the client experience, he begins each day by asking, "What can we do today to make it even better?"
