Lilies are popular with couples who are planning to marry
Spring is the most popular season for getting married, and it is therefore marked by an increased demand for lilies.
Flowers have always played a key role at weddings. White varieties were particularly popular, as they symbolise purity and innocence. White lilies also have the advantage of a wonderful fragrance. Nowadays the flowers at weddings are more colourful. Lilies are still popular, and one reason for this is that more coloured varieties are available. Another reason is their emotional impact. The lily stands for 'the complete life'. The stylish flower is regarded both as a sort of indulgence and as a way of expressing one’s spirituality. Eminently suitable, therefore, for the 'the most beautiful day of one’s life'.
Range of colours
Florists like to work with lilies on account of the beautiful flower, the splendid range of colours and the availability of varieties with stems up to 1.5 metres in length. The fact that the dark pistils of the lily can cause stains on a wedding dress is overcome in practice by simply removing them.
Range of fragrances
Lilies are available all the year round. The Longiflorum peaks from early to late summer. The range of fragrances offers something for everyone. The Asian hybrids have little or no fragrance. Longiflorum has a sweet and not too penetrating fragrance. The oriental hybrids have the strongest fragrances, emitting a sweet, spicy odour.
