We worked with Elizabeth Cronin (the proprietor of Asrai) for our wedding flowers, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. Our wedding took place in my parents' exquisite garden, so we wanted flowers that would accent that in an understated way, rather than be the center of attention. Our budget for flowers was also very low for a wedding of our size. So we didn't give Elizabeth much to work with, yet she somehow concocted the most beautiful, unique and creative flower arrangements. Bottom line, Elizabeth is really an artist.
Equally important, she was so accommodating when it came to our budget. She didn't pressure us to spend more than we wanted to. At one point I think I asked whether she thought we should spend a little more to make the flower arrangements on the larger tables a bit bigger. Surprisingly, she said that wasn't necessary and suggested other, cheaper ways to add abundance to the larger tables. Anyone who's been working with wedding vendors will understand that this response does not happen. Like, ever.
She also offered incredible value above-and-beyond simply creating a beautiful flower plan. We had a lot of do-it-yourself decor ideas, and Elizabeth was a fantastic sounding board. She came back with lots of other ideas to elaborate and had lots of website and store suggestions up her sleeve for the cheapest supplies, etc.
We'll be going here for our next project: a nice container garden for our terrace!
