no its ur decision i love lillies too aswell xx

I like lillies
They are the symbol of sympathy though but i think this is mainly an older genertation thing!!
Cala Lillies are stunning in a bridal bouquet!

The other thing to be mindful of is the pollen in Lillies, it stains very easily and also some types have a very strong smell

At the end of the day, have the flowers YOU want!! xxx

im having calla lillies, stargazer lillies look beautiful in a bouquet.
as elle says pollen is a pain but most florist cut those bits out unless there the buds when sold xx

i thought it was only Arum lillies that was associated with funerals....
I love lillies, especially the oriental ones, and if I wanted them at my wedding...I would have them.
not much wrong with this bouquet is there?

Lily of the valley : For trustworthiness, also represents the return of love and happiness, purity of heart, sweetness, tears of the Virgin Mary, you've made my life complete, humility, happiness, love's good fortune. The legend of the lily of the valley is that it sprang from Eve's tears when she was kicked out of the Garden of Eden. It is also believed that this flower protects gardens from evil spirits. Also known as the flower of May.

Calla lillies : magnificent beauty

Lily: Majesty, wealth, pride, innocence, purity.

LILY, WHITE: Purity, modesty, virginity, majesty, it's heavenly to be with you. The white lily is linked to Juno, the queen of the gods in Roman mythology, by the story that while nursing her son Hercules, some excess milk fell from the sky creating the group of stars we call the Milky Way, and lilies were created from what milk fell to the earth. The Easter lily is also known as the symbol of the Virgin Mary.

Lily, Orange: flame, I burn for you.

Lily, Yellow: I'm walking on air, false, gay.

Hope this helps. I love the pic RaggedyAnne

There's a thread called "What do your flowers mean" with old Victorian meanings of flowers - lilies actually mean beauty and innocence :) That's why they started to be used at funerals - because they represent the innocence of the soul - not because they mean death/anything morbid :)

Calla lilies are stunning, they're my favourite flower and quite popular for brides (loads on g00gle images!) - have what YOU want! :) Xx

I'm having lilies in my bouquet, I love them. I did have them on my mum's coffin and always thought they were 'death' flowers but things have changed now, it's more the older generation that associate them with funerals x

I love lillies...you should have what you want hon, you will only regret it if you dont :) x x

I think some lillies are beautiful in a bridal arrangement, as already mentioned, just make sure there's no pollen to stain your dress. At the end of the day, they are your flowers, you have what you want x

I agree with everyone else - it's your opinion that matters! You're the one that has to carry them and look back at them in your photos so you need to have what you want! xx

I hate it when I want something for my Wedding day and somebody says "you can't have that because blah blah blah stupid old fashioned tradition that means bob all today and ps don't walk under a ladder or spill salt"

This is 2012, if you want lilies then you have them they are beautiful flowers and will look gorgeous. x
