Whether you're celebrating a birthday, marking an anniversary, offering sympathy, or simply saying "I'm thinking of you," a hand-tied lily bouquet from Blossom Surprise delivers the kind of heartfelt gesture that words alone cannot match.
As a genuine local florist rooted in Northampton, every lily arrangement we create is hand-tied in-house — never warehouse-packed or flat-packed like national delivery services. That means fresher flowers, more thoughtful arrangements, and a personal touch that truly shows.
The Beauty and Symbolism of Lilies
Few flowers carry as much history and meaning as the lily. Revered across cultures for thousands of years, lilies appear in ancient Greek mythology (said to have sprung from the milk of Hera), in Renaissance paintings as symbols of purity, and in modern-day gardens as some of the most beloved perennial blooms. Their large, trumpet-shaped petals and intoxicating fragrance make them instantly recognisable — and universally adored.
But lilies aren't just beautiful; they speak. Each colour carries its own language, making your flower delivery lily choice a message as much as a gift:

Types of Lilies Available for Delivery
Not all lilies are alike. Our florists work with a rotating selection of the finest lily varieties — chosen for their longevity, fragrance, and visual impact:
Oriental Lilies
The most popular for gift delivery. Oriental lilies are large-headed, intensely fragrant, and slow to open — meaning your recipient enjoys them over 7–10 days as each bud gradually unfurls. Varieties include Stargazer (deep pink with white edges) and Casablanca (pure white).
Asiatic Lilies
Bright, upright, and virtually odourless, Asiatic lilies are available in a wide spectrum of colours — from soft pastels to vivid oranges and reds. They tend to open quickly and are perfect for bold, eye-catching arrangements.
LA Hybrid Lilies
A cross between Longiforum and Asiatic lilies, LA hybrids offer the best of both worlds: striking colour, large blooms, light fragrance, and excellent vase life. A favourite for mixed bouquets.
Longiflorum (Easter) Lilies
Classic white trumpet lilies with a delicate, sweet scent. Traditionally associated with Easter and purity, these are also popular for wedding and sympathy tributes.

Tips for Selecting the Perfect Lily Arrangement
With so many beautiful options, choosing the right lily bouquet can feel overwhelming. Here are a few guiding principles:
- Consider the occasion: White and soft pink lilies suit weddings, sympathy, and new baby gifts. Vibrant oranges and reds work beautifully for birthdays and celebrations.
- Think about fragrance: Oriental lilies are the most strongly scented. If your recipient is sensitive to strong scents, or has a pet cat at home (lily pollen is toxic to cats — see our lily-free range), Asiatic lilies or mixed alternatives may be better.
- Budget: Our lily bouquets start from £34.99, with premium hand-tied arrangements from £49.99 — competitive with national chains, and far superior in freshness.
- Mixed vs. pure lily: Pure lily bouquets make a bold, elegant statement. Mixed arrangements — like our Pink Rose & Lily Bouquet — add texture and contrast for a more garden-fresh look.

Caring for Your Freshly Delivered Lilies
To get the most from your flower delivery lily bouquet, a little care goes a long way. Follow these simple steps and your lilies can stay beautiful for up to 10 days:
- Trim the stems at a 45° angle under running water — this maximises water uptake and prevents air locks.
- Remove lower foliage that would sit below the waterline to prevent bacterial growth.
- Use a clean vase filled with fresh, cool water. Change the water every 2 days.
- Add flower food if supplied — it provides nutrients and inhibits bacteria.
- Keep away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and draughts — a cool spot out of direct sun is ideal.
- Remove pollen anthers as the blooms open. This extends vase life and prevents staining (lily pollen is notoriously stubborn on fabric).
Special Occasions to Send Lily Flowers
A lily bouquet is one of the most versatile gifts you can give. Here are the occasions our customers most love to mark with a beautiful lily delivery:
Funeral & Sympathy Lily Delivery
White lilies are one of the most meaningful tributes you can send to honour a loved one. Blossom Surprise delivers funeral flower arrangements directly to funeral directors and crematoriums across our service area, including Northampton Cemetery, Milton Crematorium, Co-op Funeral branches, Hollowells, Kevin Matthews, Mark Elliott, Wilkinsons, and many more. We handle these arrangements with the sensitivity and care they deserve.

Sending to a Cat Owner? Our Lily-Free Bouquets Are Perfect
Lilies are beautiful — but they're toxic to cats. If your recipient shares their home with a feline friend, or has allergies to lily pollen, our lily-free bouquet collection offers equally stunning arrangements with zero risk. Hand-tied with roses, carnations, gerberas, gypsophila, and seasonal blooms — gorgeous without the worry.
