#calla lillies

Aaaa I finally finished this!! According to Ibis paint this took Eight Hours not including the original sketch. But! I had so much fun making it that it didn't really feel that long :)

So first of all, flower symbolism. We've got white and yellow chrysanthemums and white calla lilies. Yellow chrysanthemums represent joy and celebration, so they're here to represent the wedding. White chrysanthemums represent grief and mourning, symbolizing Dot and Four's grief over losing their kids and vice versa. Calla lilies have dualing meanings of life and death and are popular in both wedding AND funeral arrangements!

Speaking of weddings and funerals, the bells are meant to symbolize both since both events are associated with the sound of bells. Pretty obvious but I was giggling to myself when I thought of it lol
