Lithium form class have amazing comments.

You should try something like this:

<?php
echo $this->form->create(null);
echo $this->form->field(
    'name',
    [
        'template' => '<div{:wrap}><span><i class="some OtherClass"></i></span>{:input}</div>',
        'wrap' => ['class' => 'SomeClass'],
    ]
);
echo $this->form->error('name', null, ['template' => '<h4 class="error">{:content}</h4>']);
echo $this->form->end();
?>
