We are ilex Designs and we are a real local florist in Boston, MA. ![]() In addition to keeping the business running smoothly and creating innovative floral designs, Carol prides herself on helping customers write memorable enclosure cards. Her design style is fairly monochromatic, but she loves combining a variety of textures into every arrangement. Carol loves to shop for the flowers every morning and is particularly intrigued by unexpected blooms and unusual colors. Since it's inception in 2004, her primary role at ilex has been managing the finances but she is always excited to get off the computer and join Andrew at the design table. She met Andrew when they were both working at a small shop on Beacon Hill where they decided to join forces as go out on their own. She found that working with flowers and planting was much more satisfying than litigating. Floral design is where Andrew ended - although found by accident it is his passion.Ī former defense attorney in San Francisco, Carol switched careers when her daughters entered preschool in Boston. With a passion for design, whether fashion architecture art or interior design his inspiration is pulled from the random detail of a building or the perfectly constructed seam in a garment. Suffice it to say the plants and flowers have always been a part of his life. His father is a horticulturalist and was a dairy farmer, and his uncle is a plant breeder specializing in varieties of chrysanthemums. Plants and flowers were a part of Andrew’s early years, from gardening with his mother in their large vegetable garden to plucking and “arranging” his grandmother’s peonies from her garden.
