Compared to other types of blooms that are available in the spring season, lilies of the valley are magical flowers renowned for their divine enchanting scent. Anyone can fall madly in love with them and choose them for their own wedding. Nevertheless, there are a few types of inconveniences or disadvantages presented by this unique type of flower, and that is the short fragile stems and blooms. If we are to compare them with peonies for example, lilies of the valley are not quite suitable for grandiose, elaborated and ample sophisticated weddings.
However, we do think that these pretty types of flowers can work excellent for formal, classy and elegant weddings because of their dainty chic and stylish appearance. Another disadvantage is that they only come in a white shade. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why a modern bride who is planning a vibrant nature inspired wedding won’t choose lilies of the valley. The best type of arrangement or bouquet design that can be chosen for this type of flower is the simple natural touch one. This means that the lilies of the valley can be used for hand tied nosegay or posy bouquets or types of arrangements. This means also that the bouquets should not be too elaborated, voluminous or thick.
For this, we recommend you to use only lilies of the valley and no additional type of flower. However, if you are not satisfied with the way a spring lily of the valley wedding flower bouquet looks like, we suggest you to use flowers from the same category of soft, fragile and delicate spring season types of flowers. Here are a our own examples: narcissuses, lilacs, Billy Balls, tulips, sweet peas, gardenias, peonies, ranunculuses, anemones, hyacinths, hydrangeas, marigolds, lisianthuses, amaryllises, magnolias, hibiscus, stephanotises, chrysanthemums, garden roses, mini calla lilies or chamomiles, lilacs and lavenders.
Whatever you choose as additional flower for the spring lily of the valley wedding flower arrangement, make sure that is not too overwhelming for the lily of the valley. Perhaps this type of flower is the most delicate, refined and sensitive of all and it can be easily bruised or ruined when used in bigger types of bouquets or arrangements. Keep the arrangements unsophisticated and simply tied up with a casual ribbon or rope, depending on the formality of the wedding, on the venue or season when the big event is taking place.
