Budget Blooms: Astilbe

White Thread recently posted about this budget friendly bloom, the Astilbe. Of course, it isn't going to be every bride's taste, but I happen to love it. It's unique, makes a big statement in bulk, comes in a huge variety of colors, and is easy on the wallet. What more could you ask for?!

I especially love this bloom for a beach wedding because of its uncanny resemblance to coral. It's a stunning addition to any spring/summer wedding, but especially for those wanting to bring a little seaside style into their wedding day.

For a little more info on the price of this unique bloom, you can purchase one bunch (10 stems) for $14.00 from American Floral Distributors in white, pink, or red.
