Lilies are one of the traditional favorite flowers for weddings. They come in a large range of varieties and colors, with one that would be perfect for almost any style of celebration. These are some ideas for beautiful lily wedding bouquets for the bride and bridesmaids.

White lilies are especially elegant for weddings, and they are also symbolic of the Virgin Mary, making them a wonderful choice for a Catholic bride. Lilies are large, so it does not take many to make a very impressive bouquet. Play up the purity of a white lily bouquet by tying it with a simple wide white satin ribbon with a bow and streamers that hang down just past the ends of the stems. This would be a stunning bouquet for any time of the year.

Lilies also come in some spectacular colors. Hot pink Stargazer lilies are breathtaking and work wonderfully for either a traditional wedding or a tropical theme event. Be warned that they have a very strong fragrance, so be sure that you find the distinctive aroma of Stargazer lilies pleasing before ordering them for your bridal bouquet. Play up the dramatic side of these showy lilies by adding crystals to the bouquets to complement your crystal wedding jewelry. For even more drama, consider a long cascade bouquet instead of a round nosegay form. Add sparkling crystal strings that hang like streamers for the ultimate in wedding jewelry for your bouquet. The results will be spectacular!

Bright orange tiger lilies are another fabulous option for wedding bouquets. They are a hot color for summer ceremonies, especially when combined with flowers in other vivid hues such as fuchsia. To use orange lilies in the fall, add deep burgundy and brown blossoms, along with a scattering of red hypericum berries. Tie a loosely gathered bouquet with a natural shape with a brown velvet ribbon for the perfect finishing touch.

Calla lilies are also extremely popular for wedding flowers. The larger sized ones look magnificent when gathered into arm bouquets with the stems left long. The sleek flowers and long stems create a very stylish bouquet, which is especially attractive for tall brides. The arm bouquet has a bit of a beauty queen flair, but is a chic alternative to a round nosegay. Calla lilies in arm bouquet form work wonderfully with sleek vintage inspired gowns that have the air of Old Hollywood glamor. You will look like you just stepped out of a 1930s film!

Mini calla lilies are a very versatile bouquet option. They can be used on their own or in combination with other flowers to create rounded bouquets. One of the most appealing things about mini calla lilies is their color range. In addition to classic wedding colors like pink and yellow, the mini callas come in unique and dramatic shades like rust, apricot, burgundy, hot chocolate, and even a dark purplish-black color. They make spectacular bouquets for any season, and of course the very dark colors are ideal for an evening wedding.

Without a doubt, lilies deserve their status as one of the premier wedding flowers. They are always elegant, ever stylish, and have a flamboyant flair that makes them perfect for the bride who wants her bouquets to have that extra spark. You simply cannot go wrong choosing one of the gorgeous styles of lily for your wedding.
