Annick Mertens: lilies add dimension to your banquet table

For my designs, I chose a natural bouquet & table flowers in warm earth tones.

I created some arrangements for the holidays. For my designs, I chose a natural bouquet & table flowers in warm earth tones.

The mix of the Lily Dark Secret variety (smaller calyx) and the Lily Pokerface variety (larger calyx) gave beautiful color nuances. The lilies were accompanied by pinus, rose hips, holly branches, limonium gold, lentisco eggplant and mossy branches.

On an oasis base, I finished the surface with moss, around which copper-colored asparagus was tied. Between the lilies, I incorporated golden eucalyptus berries and pine cones.

In the white tones, I chose simple & sleek floral arrangements with the variety Lily Santander (beautiful full large bud) and majestic bouquets with the mix of Lily Santander (large bud) and the Lily Bach Supra (smaller bud). Ideal as corporate flower arrangements. Lilies work perfectly solo at a reception. Incorporate them among some branches, limonium or a berry variety and they tell their story.

You just can't ignore it ... lilies are flowers with a striking presence. They work theatrically, stealing the show everywhere and starring in any mix of floral arrangements. No words are needed for that. I love working with lilies because it is a flower that presents itself beautifully in modern, classic, exotic, bohemian and solo floral arrangements. My trendy field bouquets always include a lily as a perennial flower. Lilies are dynamic flowers. With their dense buds, I like to use them in modern compositions. The open flowers are ideal for impressive bridal and funeral flower arrangements. Not a fan of the stamens? Cut them out carefully and in time.
