Lily (Lilium) – Royal Elegance and Intoxicating Fragrance. The lily is the embodiment of elegance and royal beauty. Its large, majestic flowers and intense, intoxicating fragrance make it one of the most sought-after flowers for festive and luxury arrangements. In various cultures, it is revered as a symbol of purity, innocence, and majesty.
Florist's Expert View: Symbolism and Structure
As florists, we admire lilies for their dramatic appearance and structure. They can be the focal point of any bouquet. Their blooms open sequentially on the stem, so the bouquet "works" and changes even in the vase. Thanks to their strong symbolism, they are also a key component of funeral bouquets.
Tip from Jana (Expert in Large and Ceremonial Arrangements): "For me, the lily is synonymous with a grand event. I love using them in luxury bouquets where I need to make an impression. Especially Royal Lilies are a sure bet. It's important to remember their pollen – for interior arrangements, we always carefully remove the anthers so they don't stain the surroundings."
