Autumn Beautiful Calla Lily Wedding Bouquet

calla lilly autumn wedding It's simple: the calla lily is the epitome of elegance. If your venue was the set of Breakfast at Tiffany's, the calla lily would be Audrey Hepburn; if it was Monaco's pink palace, the calla would be Grace Kelly in a taffeta gown.

All fresh flowers are beautiful, but few offer the elegance and versatility of the calla.

Maybe you've thought of designing your own wedding bouquets, centerpieces or altar arrangements. In that case, the calla can provide all the style, color and beauty you've ever dreamed of.

One simply has to glance at a white calla to think of weddings. It occupies a strangely rich space that's both classic and totally modern. Fortunately, beautiful calla lily bouquets are easy to fashion yourself.

This beautiful bouquet, combining full-sized and mini callas, offers great visual depth and dimension. To create it yourself, place five full-sized white calla lilies in the palm of your hand. Arrange the flowers into a rough arrow shape, with the middle flower being the tallest, and the rest gently sloping down. Now continue to fill out the arrow shape by adding eight mini calla lilies in pink, red, or yellow.

To finish the bouquet, gently close the palm of your hand to bring the stems together and tie off with floral tape. Complete the look by wrapping the stems with a wide satin ribbon of your choice.
