About Aster & Fir

Alexandra Gravina

Florist

Our founder, Alexandra, left her corporate 9–5 job in search of something more fulfilling. When she ‘stopped & smelled the roses’, she fell in love with flowers. As the daughter of a carpenter, she has always appreciated creating something beautiful with her own hands. She loves capturing each client's unique ideas in her custom designs, bringing their special day to life with her arrangements. Alexandra lives in Astoria with her husband, John, and her cat, Piper, and she never met a rosé she didn’t like.

    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 from 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!!!
