Sea Star Asters
A little different from the more popular Matsumoto Aster, the sea star aster looks like a fusion of spider mum and aster. Other than the hot pink shown in the picture, they are also available in a lighter pink, white, indigo and purple.

Serruria
Also known as "Blushing Bride" (how appropriate). Available May through September, these flowers range in color from a brighter pink to a soft white/cream with a pink center. They tend to have a papery feel and are hardy and long lasting - perfect for a bridal bouquet.

Ranunculus
Not just any ranunculus, these ranunculus petals are foliose (converted into leaf-like structures) which make for a very unique and different look. These would be beautiful together with other ranunculus in varying shades or a vibrant mix of many different flowers.

Mimosa
Not related to the drink, this "filler" flower (also known as "acacia") represents purity and endurance of the soul. Cute, puffy yellow blooms add an interesting texture to a bouquet.
