Lilies And Roses Bouquet

A lilies and roses bouquet is perfect for your wedding, a table centerpiece or just to dress up your living space. These two varieties of flowers are very popular and for good reason. Lilies are delicate, beautiful and graceful. Most often seen in white they can also be found in other colors like yellow and pink. Roses are also found in all different colors such as red, yellow, pink, white and many others. Against the graceful curves of the lily are the lush petals of the rose. The combination is beautiful and eye-catching.


If you are creating your own arrangement you should gather all your supplies first. The flowers are the most important thing. You will also need a vase, floral tape or wire and floral foam or some other method of securing the flowers where you want them. You will also need to decide whether you want real flowers or silk ones. Real flowers are traditional and fragrant but don't last long unless preserved. Silk flowers last forever and require only periodic dusting. Many people think silk flowers don't look realistic.

The truth of the matter is that some silk flowers look totally fake. This is especially true if the stems are crafted from cheap plastic. However there are others that are indistinguishable from the real thing. Handmade silk flowers are created with high quality materials to look and feel as much like actual flowers as possible. They can even be scented with rose and lily essential oil so they smell realistic also. For many people the scent of the bouquet is part of its charm. Once you've decided between real or silk flowers, it's time to create the arrangement.

When putting together a lilies and roses bouquet, play with different configurations to find the ideal look. You might want 12 roses with 6 lilies, for example. The placement of the flowers is also important. And, the color can make a big difference in the finished product. You can use contrasting colors or coordinating ones. Once the bouquet is arranged to your satisfaction it is ready to be displayed. Whether you are a bride making your bridal bouquet or an amateur florist creating an arrangement for your home or even as a gift you can't go wrong with roses and lilies.
