Personally I'm a big fan of White Tiger Lilies - http://www.hawaiiweddingathome.com/e/bouquet/lily.html OR http://www.lovegarden.net/CMS/images/storeimages/wed9.jpg OR http://www.the-naturesdesigns.com/images/terdrop%20orient%202.jpg
There are White Calla Lilies - http://www.artisticfloraldesign.com/common/cgi/show_large.cgi?/images/bouquets/w/fbw166-l.jpg?0
White Gerber Daisies - http://www.artisticfloraldesign.com/common/cgi/show_large.cgi?/common/images/bouquets/w/fbw13-l.jpg?0
White Orchids - http://www.eventricity.net/_images/09_greb-2.jpg OR http://www.weddinghelpline.com/orchidb-b3.jpg OR http://www.humphreyflorist.com/photos/wedding/large/w12_white_orchid_bouquet_shells.jpg
White Stephanotis - http://www.porcelainroses.com/porc119hand.htm (These ones are Porcelain, but you get the idea)
White Hydrangea - http://www.magusfloral.com/Period_Weddings/Medieval_Times/A_BMbouquet_white_hydrangea_with_streamers.jpg
White Dahlia - http://www.australianweddingcompany.com.au/images/8102.jpg (close up of a single flower http://www.mooseyscountrygarden.com/septic-tank-garden/dahlia-white-flower.jpg )
White Peony - http://www.rolliblog.net/archives/1%20(3).jpg (Nicole Kidman used these in her wedding bouquet) OR http://www.1000petals.com/images/winter-floral%20art/white-peony-bouquet-L.jpg
You could also thrown in some White Freesia, White Hyacinth, or other small white flowers to fill it out.
Other than that I would recommend talking to your florist. Your florist can help you pick out the perfect flowers for you an even show you samples. I know when I got married I told my florist I wanted Lilies and she pretty much took it from there, my bouquet was beautiful.

White tulips are lovely in a wedding bouquet. Or an unusual choice would be white gerbera daisies or white chrysanthemums. Or you can get little tiny carnations if you don't want big ones. Lilies are nice, but big white lilies are traditionally used for funerals. If that doesn't bother you, go for it. Gardenias or sweet peas are harder to find this time of year, but both are beautiful and smell fabulous.
If you don't mind a little bit of another color in with the white, there are a few more suggestions. There's a flower that looks like a small lily called Alstromeria that is perfect in bouquets because it lasts for a long time without problems. It usually has speckled petals. White irises are very glamorous, but they have a little bit of yellow on them. White daisies are the same, and sweet.
You may be able to find sprays of small white orchids. My cousin's wife had those in her bouquet and they were really original-looking and stylish.

Daisies. However, roses are the sturdiest flower; they are one of the few flowers that won't wilt in your bouquet, which is why they're used so often. But roses don't come in white (just a very light yellow).

There are a lot of white flowers out there...lilies, carnations, roses (I know, I know), gardenias, orchids, gerberas and tulips are just a few...any will look beautiful while others will be more expensive (orchids) than the others (carnations).

there are small white orchids that are beautiful...also, orange blossoms, poms, alstromerias (which have a slight color in their throat) good luck, because a lot of times, depending where you live, some flowers are hard to find, but a good florist should be able to locate anything.
