Ordered a custom designed arrangement for delivery. As the arrangement is created by designer's choice (with only general color input provided by me), I did not see the design until I received a photo from the extremely pleased recipient. The arrangement was gorgeous and modern - stunning. Will use Ilex Designs for any floral design needs moving forward.

I chose the designers choice to express gratitude. The resulting arrangement was delivered exactly as ordered and the arrangement by Andrew at ilex was a masterpiece of beauty that allowed the recipient to admire the overall presentation while allowing each individual component to also stand out on its own, a perfect balance. When the floral notes of the arrangement reaches the recipient the combined visual/olfactory experience is perfect. Highly recommended!

I want to thank Carol at Ilex Designs for the gorgeous floral decorations for a bridal shower we had in April. Because of COVID I was only able to share my vision over the phone and then put all my trust in her. On the day of the shower I was finally able to personally meet Carol and then was speechless and overwhelmed to how beautifully she and Mamma Maria Restaurant created the space! Thank you so much for adding to so many well needed smiles and laughs that day!

I just received a sympathy bouquet from Ilex Designs and I am beyond impressed. They bouquet came in a nice white vase and I loved how the arrangement came with white roses that were open and also with a bunch of flowers that were not open but opened later for a stunning arrangement that lasted days!

My wife and I started wedding planning thinking that we would make our own centerpieces etc. A family friend recommend Andrew and Illex designs and WE WERE BEYOND IMPRESSED with our choice!! From our first meeting, when we had no idea what we wanted, to our last final detail meeting, Andrew's knowledge and creativity worked it's magic. We wanted something that went with a city vibe and out of of the box. Our guests continued to ask who created our flowers etc and that they have never seen anything like them and how amazingly beautiful they were and were "us"! We didn't know flowers could send that message, but Andrew was able to do so!! Could give Illex designs and Andrew 10+stars if possible! Colleen and Sue

I loved the customer service & attention to detail from Ilex. We had a very small wedding and I just reviewed some simple likes and details and I was extremely happy with the flowers for the resturant where we held our ceremony, and the wedding parties arrangements. Thank you for making our day so special

When my mother had some health issues which led to her being in the hospital, I wanted to lift her spirits by sending some flowers. I called Andrew at Ilex Designs and he put together a beautiful arrangement that my mother loved. My mother called me and said that it made her day receiving such a vibrant assortment of flowers. Andrew is exceptional at what he does and he provides top-notch service. Anytime I need to order flowers, I know I can call Andrew and he'll get me what I need. Ilex Designs is the best!

Ilex handled the flowers for my father's funeral. I work in the Back Bay and have had numerous occasions to walk by their South End storefront and admire their floral artistry. As a greenhouse builder and lover of flowers, Dad had a gift for making wonderful floral arrangements, and it was very important to us that his flowers were beautiful and different.... not the typical mums and glads funeral dreck. The staff at Ilex did a SPECTACULAR job. Carol was terrific to work with during a very, very trying time. I can't recommend them enough!

Totally agree with the prior reviews -- Andrew and Carol are amazing -- 10 star work. They designed the most beautiful purple and ivory wedding flowers for our party -- a mix of the best of the season and artistic buds. Initially we planned to have my (now) wife's sister and MOH, who is also a florist, do our wedding flowers, but when that became too hectic for her with all her other wedding responsibilities, we hired Ilex only a month out from the event (though please don't do this to them unless you must!) We had one extremely productive meeting, called/emailed back and forth to finalize the plan and then what was delivered to us wedding day was SO BEYOND even our expectations. My mom is now hard at work on a bouquet keepsake, so I'll have the flowers in some form forever. I've been a bridesmaid in a handful of weddings, and these were the only flowers bridesmaids made a priority to take home. And my wife's florist sister -- was beyond impressed. Planning a wedding can be so overwhelming -- trust me, hire Carol and Andrew and you'll have no worries at all. Now we just have to plan another event so we have an excuse to hang with them again...

Ilex flowers has their own unique style- Very Modern and almost Zen like. I love it! I was given flowers from Ilex and they were beautiful and lasted longer than most! I also sent Flowers to Sweden and Ilex was great getting them there on time and the arrangement was amazing. Andrew is very knowledgeable and accommodating. Call them if you are looking for a modern Style.

If I could give 10 stars to this Boston gem I would. Andrew and his team did an amazing job at my daughter's recent wedding at The State Room. The chuppah was so magnificent--orbs filled with orchids draped down the back--that the staff declared it the most beautiful they had seen. The photographer wanted to enter a picture of it into a wedding contest. The table flowers were vibrant, lush, perfect. Everyone commented on them and the ones I brought home lasted for over 2 weeks. Andrew was a dream to work with, despite the frequent changing of minds. He was kind and patient and had wonderful ideas. At the end of the evening, when we were wondering how to get the extras back to the hotel, Andrew saved the day by offering to bring them in his van at 1:30 a.m.! We'll definitely be using Ilex for future events.

Andrew is a pleasure to work with! I have had several occasions when I have needed elaborate and unique floral arrangements- and he has been completely willing to work with me to come up with great concepts. The flowers he delivered always exceed my expectations- beautiful, fresh, exotic. Andrew is also very savvy about letting me email photos of flowers or other arrangements as inspiration, as well as allowing me to provide the vases/containers I wish to use. Prices are less than a Back Bay competitor, and the service is better.
