Mixed Lily Bouquet

Product Details

Mixed Lily Bouquet White and pink lilies with seasonal florals around them. The lilies are the arrangement — the other flowers are there to fill in depth without competing. It's a restrained design and that's the point. Lilies don't need much help to look good. Each bouquet is made to order. The style and proportions are consistent, but the specific supporting flowers vary week to week depending on what's available. Your arrangement will be close to the photo but not identical. The lilies White lilies are the larger presence in the arrangement. They're big, open flowers with a clean shape and a strong fragrance. They read as sincere and considered — which is why they're associated with sympathy arrangements, but they work equally well for celebrations, birthdays, and general gifting. There's nothing funereal about them in the right context. Pink lilies range from soft blush to warm mid-pink depending on the variety and the season. They give the bouquet warmth without shifting the whole palette. An all-white lily arrangement can feel cool and formal — the pink variety softens it. The supporting florals change by week. The florists pick what sits well with the lilies in terms of scale and colour. It's not random filler; it varies because the seasonal choices are made fresh rather than from a fixed product list. Fragrance Worth mentioning upfront: lilies are strongly scented, and the fragrance gets heavier as the flowers open over the first two to three days. For most rooms it's pleasant and present. In a small enclosed space or for someone sensitive to scent, it can be a lot. If you're sending to a hospital ward, check their policy on strong-scented flowers first — many wards discourage them. For home and office settings it's usually fine, but it's a detail worth knowing. Also worth knowing if you have cats: lilies are toxic to them. Keep the arrangement somewhere the cat can't reach. All parts of the plant are harmful, including the pollen and the water in the vase. Pollen staining Lily pollen stains fabric on contact and doesn't come out of most materials once it's set. If you want to avoid it, remove the pollen stems from inside each open bloom before they shed — they pull out cleanly when the flower first fully opens. Don't rub pollen off fabric; shake or blow it off gently, then use sticky tape if any remains. Don't get it wet. When to send it The white and pink combination doesn't carry the same specific associations that red roses (romantic) or sunflowers (celebratory) do, which makes it flexible. It works for birthdays, thank-yous, anniversaries, get well, condolences, sympathy, and home display — the range of occasions that suits a bouquet that feels considered without making a loud statement about what the occasion means. It's particularly well suited to people who appreciate flowers but find very styled or highly coloured arrangements a bit much. Lilies have presence without being busy. Personalisation If you want more white or more pink, or if you'd prefer the accent flowers to sit in a particular colour, note it when ordering. The florists will work with it where stock allows. Because it's built from what's available on the day, specific combinations can't be guaranteed but preferences are usually accommodated. Care Trim the stems at a 45-degree angle and place in clean, cool water when the bouquet arrives. Remove leaves below the waterline. Change the water every two to three days. Lilies open from the bottom of the stem upward. The lower flowers will go first — remove them as they fade and the upper buds will carry on opening for several more days. With reasonable care, the arrangement typically lasts seven to ten days. Keep out of direct sun, away from radiators, and away from fruit bowls. Delivery Available for home delivery or direct gifting. The florists ask for one to two working days to source fresh lilies and prepare the arrangement. If you need it sooner, contact the shop directly and they'll advise on availability. FAQ What colours are in the bouquet? White and pink lilies with seasonal supporting florals. The exact shades and supporting flowers vary by week and availability. The overall palette and style stay consistent. Does it have a strong scent? Yes. Lilies — particularly oriental varieties — have a heavy fragrance that builds as the flowers open. It's pleasant in most settings but can be overwhelming in small or enclosed spaces. Worth knowing if the recipient is scent-sensitive. Are lilies safe if I have cats? No. Lilies are toxic to cats — all parts of the plant, including pollen and vase water. Keep the arrangement out of reach of cats entirely. Can I adjust the balance of white to pink? Yes, note your preference when ordering. The florists will match it where stock allows. How long does it last? Seven to ten days with clean water, trimmed stems, and reasonable conditions. The lower flowers go first — remove them and the upper buds will continue opening. How quickly can it be delivered? One to two working days is standard. Urgent orders may be possible — contact the shop to check availability. Is it suitable for sympathy or condolence gifting? Yes. White lilies are commonly used for sympathy, and the mixed arrangement works well in that context. If the delivery is to a hospital, check their policy on scented flowers before ordering.
