Same-Day Florist and Flower Delivery in Wilkes Barre, PA

Astilbe is a client favorite among our Wilkes Barre Pennsylvania florist team—perfect for weddings, rustic themes, and romantic gestures.

Literary lovers might laze away summer afternoons reading romantic novels written by English author Jane Austen and therein will encounter descriptions of fluffy clouds of astilbe sprinkled throughout the Victorian countryside.

These pointed and puffy blooms are a notable plant typically placed in borders for counterpoint against flowers of every type amidst the gardens of Wilkes Barre Pennsylvania . Astilbe have arrow shaped branching stems containing hundreds of densely packed tiny flowers blooming against dark green glossy foliage. Their plume-like soft and delicate fronds are also known as meadowsweet. They symbolize patience and devotion to a long distance love and convey the notion “I will be waiting for you”.

Brides like to include astilbe in many aspects of wedding decorative design because of the ultra feminine flair they imbue. The Bridal Veil variety in luminous ivory is a particular favorite. It makes a lovely addition to a bouquet also containing white roses. The blush pink variety appears like a cloud of cotton candy, adding depth and width to bouquets of peonies and hydrangea or standing alone, wrapped up in a bow of lace. They add a sweet touch to bridesmaids' posies and boutonnieres.

Astilbe is the perfect floral match for informal cottage style events with a woodland or bohemian theme. Hang it from chandeliers or suspend it from hanging glass vases for a spectacular sight. Create sweeping arches and tie up small bunches of astilbe to be hung off of chairs. For centerpieces, consider a natural tableau of astilbe and moss laid out on tables lit up by a sea of glowing floating candles. The vibrant red variety of astilbe sets a Gothic tone set in silver vases. Because they are budget friendly, masses of them can be placed everywhere to create a vision of dreamy fantasy come to life.

For an old fashioned look, pair astilbe with clover, roses and lavender. A woodland theme might showcase clusters of astilbe combined with heather, wildflowers and anemones. Available from May through November, astilbe comes in shades of pink, purple, red and white. Remember to place groupings near the bar and dessert table. The blooms are four to six inches in size and the stems are between twelve and fifteen inches long offering plenty of opportunity to create lots of visual punch.

These striking garden beauties are sure to add mystical charm and delight for you and your guests at your own special occasion.
