Lily Look-Alikes?

Hello!

I was wondering if anyone knew of a yellow lily look-alike? My bridal bouquet will be an arrangement of yellow (probably asiatic) lilies, and I'd like the groom's boutonniere to match. However, I think lilies are a big too large to use as a boutonniere, and I'd prefer something smaller.

Ideas???

    Alstromerias, aka "Peruvian lilies".  They come in all kinds of colors, inexpensive, easy to find year-round, and last very well.

    If you can't get a lilly look-alike you can use a yellow rose or stephanotis. stephanotis is a very popular wedding flower.

    I also looove Alstromerias!!

    I do wedding flowers for a living.  Sometimes for lily bouts I pluck off a few(maybe 3) of the large petals and wire them together for a bout.  It's really cute and you can add some stamens in with florist glue if you like.  I will attach a photo, it's not super clear but maybe it will give you an idea of what it looks like.
