Whether you are having an ultra-formal black and white wedding, an outdoor fall wedding or a sunny springtime event, a calla lily can fit perfectly into your day. As a matter of fact, the calla lily is very quickly overtaking roses as the country's most popular wedding flower. I believe it is because of their simply stunning design, their versatility and the wide variety of flower sizes and color options. While roses are still exquisite flowers in their own right, there's something that draws me to a calla lily like a moth to a flame. If you agree, read on for some Calla Lily Themed wedding tips.
Simple Elegance - The design of a calla lily couldn't be more simple - a single petal wrapped around a large stigma that attaches to a thick stem. The flower comes in colors ranging from bright white to deep purple (nearly black). You can also find this bloom in sizes from 2" across to more than 6" across. The simple design makes this flower perfect for a simple floral arm sheaf, it also works well with a cascading bouquet or nosegay. The table centerpieces can include calla lilies of many sizes and colors, or a single bloom mixed with complimentary flowers.
Decorating - There are a vast number of ways to decorate for your Calla Lily Themed Wedding. If you are using white lilies, consider a single accent color such as red or yellow to make the stark white flower pop out of the background. One of my favorite decorating tips is to have your bridesmaids insert their flowers into a bouquet display holder during the reception. This simple piece makes the bouquets an integral part of the decorating rather than a single-use item used only during the ceremony. It is also easy to incorporate calla lilies on each dinner table - with themed candles, centerpieces or calla lily place card holders.
Favors - Here at Wedding Favors Unlimited, we think that favors are one of the most important aspects of your wedding! Everyone loves to receive gifts, and your guests will appreciate the thought you put into a special take-home gift for them.
