Calla Lily Wedding Bouquets and Centerpieces

Few fresh cut flowers offer the elegance and versatility of the calla lily. If you are designing your own wedding bouquets, centerpieces or arrangements the calla lily will provide all of the style, beauty and sophistication that you require.

The white calla lily is immediately recognized as the traditional wedding flower. For a simple, elegant and traditional bridal bouquet, tie ten to twelve white calla lilies stems together with floral tape approximately six inches below the bloom. Now, using ribbon that matches your wedding theme's color, cover the tape and tie a simple bow. Place the bouquet over your arm and cradle it in your the bend of your elbow. Your walk down the aisle will exude class and understated sophistication with this beautiful and simple to make calla lily wedding bouquet.

If you prefer more color variety in your wedding flower bouquet and arrangements consider using the mini calla. A slightly shorter cousin of the standard calla lily, the mini calla lily is often available in shades of peach, pink, yellow, and red depending on the season. The mini calla offers tremendous versatility in both color and dimension; be sure to include it in your next wedding centerpiece or fresh cut flower arrangement.

Place five white, standard length calla lilies in the palm of your hand. Arrange the flowers so the middle flower is the tallest and the others are slightly lower, forming an arrow shape. Next, add eight to ten mini callas of yellow, pink or red and continue to fill out the arrowhead shape. Gently close the palm of your hand to solidify the wedding bouquet's shape and secure with floral tape. Finish once again with the ribbon of your choice.

Calla lilies work wonderfully with other fresh cut flowers as well. Roses are a fantastic complimentary flower in a calla lily wedding bouquet or arrangement. Alternate roses and calla lilies while constructing your next posie, nosegay or wedding bouquet. The differences between the flowers' contours and shades of color will add depth and dimension to your wedding arrangement.

Once again, don't be afraid to experiment with color. Pink roses and white calla lilies create the soft, pastel atmosphere of fairy tales. Green roses and white calla lilies will announce your modern approach to design, fashion and style, while dark red roses and calla lilies create a dramatic eye-catching arrangement that is sure to impress your guests and compliment your wedding's theme at the same time.

Be sure to incorporate calla lilies into your table centerpieces as well. Mini callas are great for table arrangements because they do not force your guests to strain their necks over the towering designs that often block everyone's view. Plus, with the wide color selection available you are sure to find the perfect combination to for your event's theme and style.
