    I am hoping to order flowers in bulk and arrange them myself for my bouquet and bm's.  My wedding is this summer on a cliff overlooking the ocean, and we are trying to create a tropical/beachy theme.  I would love to have white lilies be the main flower, but I also found a perfect shade of light green orchid that would match the bm's dresses.  Do you think lillies and orchids would look silly together?  I'm just afraid it will be too much, and maybe I should just stick to lily only with more subtle accent flowers, like star of bethlehem or hypericum berries.  Any ideas are welcome :)  Thanks!

    do you mean calla lilies? i think they would work together but it would be a very powerful bouquet.

    although if they are different colors that would probably look very pretty and balanced. :)

    They will totally go together! My bouquet consists of white calla and asiatic lilies and my BM bouquets consists of green orchids and roses with white calla lilies. My FH will have a double white calla lily with hypericum berries.

    I think they would go quite well together, and of course the orchids make great hand corsages too. I would definitely try it, and google some pics to see if you like it!

    I think they are beautiful together! I was playing around with pew bows and happened to pair a lily with an orchid and thought it looked great! ...a little too "beachy" than what I'm going for though...BUT here is a pic so I could show you what they looked like!
