This is interesting. "To gild the lily" means to gold-plate a lily, which is to put something beautiful on something that is already beautiful--so it's a waste, an excess. The original was actually "to paint the lily," and is from Shakespeare. Then we have "the bloom is off the rose"--this means that something has lost its freshness, or original allure. It is sometimes said "the blush is off the rose." So my best guess is that "the gild is off the lily" is a bastardization of "to gild the lily" and "the bloom is off the rose."
