Never mistaken for any other flower, stargazer lilies are truly a one-of-a-kind bloom. As the stargazer lily is but a recent addition to the floral world with its development in the 1970s, they’re a contemporary addition to your wedding flowers.

However, lilies are also a flower with thousands of years of meaning and tradition with the ancient Greeks believing lilies were symbols of virtue. Today’s pink-hued stargazers are often used as symbols of romance, as well as prosperity.

Fun Ways to Feature Stargazers at Your Wedding

A stargazer lily looking out from your wedding bouquet will look amazing as you walk down the aisle, but there are many other creative options for using them in your décor. For example, you can pluck the flower from its stem and place it in a bowl of water as a floating bloom. An elegant and simple way to add an ethereal look to your wedding decorations.

Stargazers are also a beautiful way to make an impressive statement with your flowers without resorting to incredibly large displays. Just a few impressive stems and some greens are all you need to create delicate arrangements for your reception and ceremony.

Remember: If you’re using stargazer lilies for your bouquets or any other arrangements where they might get close to your dress, make sure the little orange pollen buds have been removed from the blooms, so you don’t stain your dress.

What Flowers Complement the Stargazer Lily?

The white and pink of the stargazer lily’s petals means they’re infinitely suited for wedding flowers, and they pair wonderfully in contemporary bouquets with roses as well as classic carnations and leafy sprigs of greenery.

Stargazer lilies are at home in a simple bouquet, as well as in a tall vase that showcases their towering stems alongside flowers like irises and lush flowers you might find in an English garden.

One of the advantages of using stargazer lilies is that they require no accompaniment, but they can also blend wonderfully within a profusion of different flowers.

Choosing Colors that Match Stargazer Lilies

Even if your official wedding colors don’t include pink, your lilies will still look amazing with many different and popular shades used at weddings.

For example, during wedding planning, you may choose to use the stargazer’s vivid pink with a wedding in contemporary colors like siam, cararra, and coriander. A white wedding punctuated by stargazer pink is also a perfect match for the flower’s beauty.
