When the Third Age began, Galadriel and Celeborn did not rule over Lorien immedietly. They settled in various places, sometimes visiting Lorien to help its defenses. There wasn't even a mention of her usage of Nenya until she was officially elected to rule Lorien. So do you think she was using the Elessar during her settlement at Dol Amroth, brief visits to Lorien, and her stay at Rivendell? And do you also think that she beautified Lorien with the Elessar instead of Nenya, for Nenya's main funtion was only to arrest decay and change. And it is said that all things grew fair about her with the Elessar. So do you think? This must be why Rivendell wasn't as beautiful compared to Lorien, since Elrond did not possess the Elassar. He'd only be able to "preserve" the pre-existing vegetation that was in Rivendell, whereas Galadriel was able to beautify Lorien. Thoughts?
