Flowers were one of the most important parts of our wedding, so choosing the right florist was a huge decision—and Alexandra at Aster & Fir exceeded every expectation I had.
Our w...
edding was at The Foundry, and she created florals that perfectly complemented the venue and completely brought my vision to life. The design we ultimately chose wasn’t part of her original proposal, but after I described what I was envisioning, she came back almost immediately with updated designs and pricing that matched my vision perfectly while still staying within my budget. I never felt pressured to spend more, and she was so thoughtful about helping me achieve the look I wanted without compromising.
Throughout the planning process, I had casually mentioned how much I loved orchids. Without me even asking, Alexandra surprised me by incorporating them into the florals at the last minute. It was such a thoughtful gesture and made everything feel even more personal and special.
She was incredibly responsive, flexible, and wonderful to work with from start to finish. She even made the sweetest custom floral collars for our dogs and, the week of the wedding, accommodated my request for an additional arrangement without hesitation.
When I walked into our reception space for the first time, I was honestly speechless. The flowers were beyond anything I could have imagined—they completely transformed the space and exceeded my expectations in every way. We received countless compliments from our guests, and looking back at our photos, I’m still in awe of how beautiful everything was.
If you’re considering Aster & Fir, don’t hesitate. Alexandra is incredibly talented, creative, kind, and genuinely invested in making your wedding day everything you’ve envisioned. I couldn’t have asked for a better florist, and I’m so grateful she was part of our wedding.
Alexandra was great at listening to our vision and transformed my pinterest board to life. She is very organized with all requests and timelines. It was unexpectedly very windy on ...
our wedding day, and Alexandra quickly adjusted the floral arrangements to ensure everything went smoothly. We highly recommend Aster & Fir for florals!

and perfectly placed. The florals set the mood for our day - everything was so elegant and more beautiful than we could have imagined. Alexandra was wonderful to work with from the first conversation, to joining us at our walkthrough on site and all the way through. We were grateful to find someone who was flexible and cares about sustainability and supporting local farmers. We can’t recommend them enough! Thank you aster & fir!

ant, and even more stunning than we imagined.
Communication was clear and professional throughout the entire process, and on the wedding day everything was delivered and set up seamlessly. Our bouquet and centerpieces were absolutely perfect and photographed beautifully.
We received endless compliments from our guests (and still are!) and would highly recommend Aster & Fir!
Alexandra and her team were an absolute delight to work with! I had NO VISION at all for what I wanted for my wedding so I gave Alexandra embarrassingly little guidance as to what ...
to do. She and her team put together absolutely incredible flower arrangements for our ceremony and reception. The flower colors, ribbons, texture, and candles... it was unforgettable! 10/10 recommend!
Alexandra and her team were fabulous! She was very detail-oriented, making sure she had a clear understanding of our likes, dislikes, and general vision for the floral arrangements...
and our broader wedding decor. She shared her notes from our planning call for us to review, along with a mood board that showed some sample arrangements and flowers that would be in season. This gave us confidence that she would deliver a wonderful product.
The arrangements were ultimately even better than we even expected; the colors and textures of the flowers were beautiful, and she was able to incorporate some wonderful, whimsical elements that we didn’t even know were possible! We would highly recommend her to any friends who are in need of a florist.
Alexandra was our florist at our August 2024 wedding and helped us figure out exactly what we were looking for and then seamlessly brought that vision to life. I would recommend as...
ter & fir in a heartbeat to anyone throwing an event!

od our vision and added to it in ways we couldn’t have even imagined. We were blown away by the attention to detail in her floral choices and all the elements she brought to it. She was accommodating to anything we needed and made sure to bring a team with her the day of to properly execute the job.
We can’t say anything but amazing things about Alexandra. She exceeded all of our expectations and made our day extra special. She is not only a great florist, but amazing person. If you are in the New York area, don’t hesitaste to work with her. You won’t regret it, she is the best in the game!!
Alexandra is incredible - she is lovely to work with and SO talented. I worked with her on 2 nights of events and it was perfect. Highly recommended
I cannot say enough about Ali from Aster and Fir. What a pleasure it was to work with her. When I told her my vision for having multicolor, different types of florals as my bouquet...
and throughout the room, she was immediately on board. Other florists told me that it wouldn't be possible. I then asked about bud vases, something very simple for the table, other florists quoted me thousands for a few small florals, Ali was reasonable and her presentation on the day of was out of this world. She turned our venue into something magical. Pricing was affordable for Long Island florals and I was quoted much more by others in the area!! Ali was such a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend!!!
I’ve always admired Ali’s work being from Astoria, so when it was time to book a florist for our wedding in Pennsylvania I inquired with Aster & Fir hoping that they would travel w...
ith us and I am so glad that they did! Ali worked with us to create a beautiful color palette using unique flowers and even used flowers from my garden to make my bridal bouquet extra special. When I had an idea to incorporate disco balls into our ceremony arch and reception florals, Ali went above & beyond with her creativity and design and created the floral arch of my dreams! Aster & Fir worked with our budget and repurposed anything that they could for the ceremony to the reception, including moving our arch from the ceremony to our sweetheart table. From the planning stages to the day of our wedding Ali and her team were responsive, easy to work with and we felt supported every step of the way, we can’t recommend Ali & her team enough!
We can't recommend Aster & Fir highly enough! From our first conversation with Alexandra, we knew we were in amazing hands. Alexandra has a unique style and understood our vision f...
rom day one. We had several special circumstances and she handled each with grace and an amazing collaborative attitude. During our walk through she helped us think through creative solutions and shared so many wonderful ideas for the event. Our guests have been raving about the florals -- from a truly beautiful chuppah that incorporated a family chuppah cover, to table arrangements that were vibrant and elegant, and so many other details throughout the night. The florals were a huge highlight of the night for us, and Alexandra's warmth made this the easiest part of our wedding planning process.
I knew that booking Alexandra and Aster & Fir was the right move from the moment I laid my eyes on centerpieces created for a friend's bridal shower! The unique floral choices and ...
gorgeous color palette blew me away. I knew immediately that I HAD to have Alexandra and her team design my wedding florals. Working with Alexandra was so easy. She was very responsive and able to decipher my style and vision using the hodgepodge of images I kept adding to my Pinterest board. I knew I was going to love my florals, but nothing prepared me for the beautiful centerpieces, chuppah, and bouquets I recieved. I was blown away by the attention to detail and eye for such stunning flowers. My mother who is an avid gardener and flower snob was in awe of the floral arrangements. She was also moved by Alexandra’s thoughtfulness in adding touches of marigolds throughout centerpieces. I had forgotten to mention the cultural importance of marigolds for my family, but Alexandra had done her research and included them beautifully. It was such an amazing touch and just spoke volumes of how detail-oriented and thoughtful the team at Aster & Fir is. I also loved how flexible Alexandra was. I asked for some last-minute changes and wanted to reuse my florals for brunch the next morning and she was more than happy to accommodate my requests. Not only did I have stunning florals for my reception; but brunch was also transformed by Aster & fir’s stunning creations! Once I finally announced that guests could take home florals, people were scrambling to grab centerpieces and arrangements haha. I received so many compliments on Alexandra’s creations and can’t wait to request her for future parties and celebrations!!!
It was absolutely fantastic to work with Alexandra! She took my vision and made it reality. I'm not great at design, but told Alexandra the colors I loved, and that it was importan...
t to me to have hints of my grandmother's favorite flowers - and she pulled it off with our color scheme and everything! She noticed that I had updated our Pinterest board a few weeks out, and reached out to confirm what we wanted. She was so amazing and kind throughout the planning process, showed up on time, and I literally cried when I saw the bouquet it was so beautiful. Our bridesmaids loved their bouquets, and the centerpieces and candle details were gorgeous. OH! and our chuppa!!! Our chuppa was perfect and beautiful!!!

We are very happy with Alexandra (Aster and Fir) and her work for my daughter’s wedding. She was so easy to work with and had a very positive personality during the whole process, ...

My husband and I used aster & fir (Alexandra) for our small wedding in October. We got a bridal bouquet and a boutonnière. We were BLOWN away. They were absolutely gorgeous. The ph...
otographer told us it was the most gorgeous bouquet she has ever seen. All the guests raved about it and I even had strangers stop me on the street to tell me how gorgeous it was. 10/10 would use her again and would recommended her to anyone. All I did was show her a few inspiration pictures and she ran with it, she totally got my vision!
We used Alexandra from aster & fir for our wedding in August. Alexandra was so incredibly helpful from day 1. She has a great vision and creativity. The bridal bouquet that she ...
made for me was absolutely stunning and unique. She was able to work with my budget to repurpose some church pieces for the reception. She was an absolute pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend.
Alexandra is honestly the best of the best! From the moment I first spoke with her on the phone for a consultation, to our meeting at her studio, and then again on our wedding day ...
she was amazing, sweet, and thorough! It was so refreshing to have someone who immediately understood my vision and executed it perfectly! She was so understanding, patient, and willing to make any adjustments as desired, even last minute. The florals and centerpiece displays turned out more beautiful then I could have ever imagined. The number of compliments we received from guests was astounding! We could not be happier and it was truly so comforting on the day of the wedding knowing we did not need to worry and could put our trust in her. I will be recommending Aster & Fir to everyone!!
