Tess is from Cork, Ireland, where she attended art school, and worked in her mother’s neighborhood flower shop. She trained in floristry in London before coming to New York to begin an illustrious career in flower design. Tess started at the Carlyle Hotel and then opened her studio, Aisling Flowers, in the Flower District, in the early 90s. Aisling has since developed a high-profile name for camera-ready, environmentally-friendly flower arrangements for television and movies, while working with select private and corporate clients on wedding and event planning, décor and management.
