Calla Lilies For Weddings

Calla lilies are quite different than Asiatic or day lilies. Rather than a profusion of leaves fanning out from a center, calla lilies are shaped like one graceful open bell or vase. Their sleek form is wonderful for creating floral displays that are graphic, restrained, or contemporary. Calla lilies can be used in more traditional ways, but for the most part, they are favored by brides seeking a modern chic style for their weddings.

Calla lilies make excellent single flower bouquets (as in one variety of flower, not one single bloom). Calla lilies cluster very tightly at their stems, and then flare out to a beautiful full round bouquet. Another stunning option for calla lilies is a dramatic arm bouquet tied with a big satin ribbon with long trailing streamers. This is an interesting alternative to the round bouquet, and it is also a nice way to showcase the long stems of the flowers.

The graceful and lean lines of calla lilies and their impressive array of color options make them a natural choice for the centerpieces, as well. Callas tend to look best in simple arrangements that show off their unique shape and long stems. Tall clear vessels are the ideal vase for a chic calla lily centerpiece. The elegance and modern style of calla lilies makes a wonderful addition to any contemporary wedding design.
