Lilies as the star of a loose floral bouquet

Do you mainly think of the lily (Lilium) as a dignified, elegant flower? Why not mix things up and give it the starring role in a loose floral bouquet? Lilies can look surprisingly playful in a modern, more informal arrangement. Ideal for creating a natural atmosphere in your interior.

Playful & cheerful

Loose bouquets with flowers at different heights invite variation. For example, you can have the lilies stand tall in your bouquet so that they get the spotlight or shorten them and combine them with tall flowers such as gladioli. Or mix them with playful summer flowers to give your bouquet a more natural look!

Elegant & chic

Do you like the elegant look of lilies? You can emphasize this in a loose bouquet by, for example, choosing lilies in the (main) color of your interior and mixing them with elegant ornamental grasses that stick out high above them. This makes a loose bouquet look quite chic.

Large & small

You can also create a smaller version of each loose bouquet and put it in a separate vase next to the larger one. Or give it as a “casual” gift that would surely brighten anyone’s day. A mini loose bouquet is also the perfect mood enhancer in places where you don’t expect flowers, such as the hall, bathroom, and guest room.

Tips & ideas

• If you’re a bride-to-be and want a contemporary, more relaxed vibe on your wedding day, loose bouquets with lilies are perfect as floral decorations. And as a bridal bouquet!
• Prefer an unscented bouquet? Then choose non-scented lilies, which also come in beautiful colors and shapes.
• Don’t put your flowers next to the fruit bowl. Ripening fruit emits ethylene, a gas that causes premature wilting. After all, you’ll want to enjoy your flowers for as long as possible!
