Excellent Calla Lilies For Wedding Bouquets

Your bridal bouquet is really like another accessory for your wedding gown. The distinctive look of calla lilies is perfect with certain types of wedding dresses. Their slender shape makes them ideal for slim gowns, especially those created from fabrics such as silk Carmeuse or a fluid double faced satin. It is a fabulous and stylish look to pair the slim shape of a calla lily bouquet with a stiletto style pair of drop Swarovski crystal bridal earrings. If you want to introduce some sparkle into your bouquet, think about adding some Swarovski crystals to the handle wrap to tie in with your bridal earrings.

Calla lilies make excellent single flower bouquets (as in one variety of flower, not one single bloom).They cluster very tightly at their stems, and then flare out to a beautiful full round bouquet. Another stunning option for callas 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. A nice thing about a bouquet that is nestled in the crook of your arm rather than held in out in front of you is that it does not obscure any of the details on your gown.

If you choose to combine calla lilies with other flowers, look for ones that have a similar line. One gorgeous look is a round bouquet of callas that is bordered with a big ruffle of cybidium orchids. Orchids are one of the flowers most frequently paired with callas, as they have a complementary shape and also the same sense of sophistication and modern elegance. As textural accents within a grouping of calla lilies, you can try some of the spikier plants, such as bear grass, veronica, and grape hyacinth.

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.

Cascade Calla Lilly wedding bouquets

greens.

Calla lilies are a classic wedding flower for a bride who wants to portray simple elegance. Traditionally, white calla lilies have been the classic choice; however, the current availability of callas in a wide variety of colors opens up a number of bouquet options. Many brides opt for the classic look of white calla lilies tied together with a sheer white ribbon and carried cradled in the left arm during the processional. While other flowers, such as roses and gardenias, often require filler to give the bouquet greater volume, calla bouquets can stand alone with just the lilies to comprise the bouquet. The following bouquet options can be made at home or by a florist, and offer a few new options for this classic wedding bouquet flower.

For a wedding bouquet that screams elegance and sophistication, choose several (5-8) long-stemmed white or ivory calla lilies. Cut the stem so that the blossoms are of slightly varying length, and collect the flowers with a sheer white ribbon tied into a bow. This type of bouquet should be carried cradled horizontally in the bride’s left arm during the processional. For a truly dramatic look, use long-stemmed calla lilies with stems that are several feet long and cut to different lengths, so that the flowers drape over the bride’s arm. To make attendant’s bouquets, use a similar method but choose fewer flowers (3-5), or give each bridesmaid a single calla lily with a sheer white ribbon bow tied around the stem. For a more structured look, use white mini calla lilies to make your bouquets. For this look, cut 8-12 mini call lilies at a 10-12” stem length, then wrap them tightly together using green florist tape that is then covered with a sheer white ribbon tied into a bow. For the bridesmaid bouquets, use a similar method to tie together smaller versions of the same bouquet (3-8 flowers).

For the boutonnieres, choose min calla lilies that are the same color as the blossoms in the bride’s bouquet. Use 3 mini lilies staggered vertically for the groom’s boutonniere, and a single lily for each of the groomsmen.

Calla Lily and Gerbera wedding bouquet

calla lilly

Calla Lily
Also known as the arum lily, this trumpet-shaped blossom originated in Africa and symbolized "magnificent beauty" to the Victorians. Two types are commonly available: one with a large head and a long, smooth stem, suitable for tall arrangements or presentation bouquets; and a miniature version ideal for nosegays and boutonnieres.

Gerbera
This graphic flower is so flawless in its form that it almost doesn't look real. Grown in the hottest climates of Asia and Africa, the gerbera is a year-round gem that comes in a crayon-box range of colors -- nearly 350 intense shades are available, including bright orange, pink, red, yellow, and burgundy.

How To Make A Calla Lily Bouquet

The Finished Calla Lily Bouquet

You will need:

  • 5 Calla Lilies
  • 11 Frangipanis
  • 25 Large Leaves
  • 9 to 11 Frangipani Leaves
  • 18 and 22 gauge wire
  • Stem tape
  • White Ribbon

Step 1: Wire and Tape the Calla Lilies...

Wire the calla lilies by wiring the 18 gauge wire around the top of the stem.

(You need to use 18 gauge wire because the calla lilies are very heavy and they need good support)...

artificial calla lily wedding bouquet

Then stem tape over the wire and the stem...

Step 2: Wire and Tape the Frangipanis...

Wire and tape the frangipanis using 22 gauge thin wire...

artificial calla lily

Step 3: Wire and Tape the Leaves...

Wire and tape the leaves using 18 gauge wire. Like before, we use the thicker wire to help add stability, so the bouquet will hold it's shape more...

artificial calla lily wedding bouquet

Step 4: Make ribbon loops...

Make some ribbon loops, and wire and tape them...

Step 5: Make a tail for the bouquet...

To start the teardrop bouquet, the first thing to do is to make a tail.

To do this, place a Frangipani and a ribbon loop on a leaf, and then tape 1/2 half way down the stem...

artificial calla lily wedding bouquet

Step 6: Prepare the guide wire...

Next we need the guide wire. The guide wire helps to make the handle.

The handle for a teardrop needs to be on the back, but towards the middle of the bouquet. The guide wire helps to make sure it's in the right position.

To make the guide wire, take one of the large leaves, and cut the wire half way down the wire. Attach it to the tail wire.

artificial calla lily wedding bouquet

Tape from the top of the leaf to the start of the tail wires...

It should look like this...

Step 7: Arrange the leaves...

Now stagger the leaves up from the tail leaf, into a fan shape. Place three leaves on either side of the tail. Use a small piece of stem tape to hold the leaves in place...

Step 8: Add the flowers

Add the calla lilies up the middle of the bouquet, by staggering them up from the tail flower...

Add the Calla Lilies

Then add the Frangipanis in between the calla lilies...

Use any left-over leaves and ribbon loops until all gaps are filled.

Step 9: Finish the bouquet

Add the trailer ribbons underneath the bouquet, and add the figure-of-8-bow to the top.

Then trim and tape the handle.

The finished bouquet...

10 New Winter Wedding Ideas

Snowflakes and pinecones are tried-and-true winter wedding motifs, but don't feel bound to these seasonal standbys. Here are 10 ways to reinvent your winter wedding.
1. Wedding Colors Reds and greens certainly reflect the season, but overdo this color combo, and your wedding may seem more holiday-oriented than you intended.

cali lilly wedding bouquet What's Hot Now: Consider a less-is-more approach to your color palette: Silver and white with crystal accents can add some serious glamour to your winter wedding. For your ceremony, try a white velvet aisle runner trimmed with white satin ribbon, or decorate the altar with a crystal curtain backdrop adorned with hanging strands of elegant white phalaenopsis orchids. If you're exchanging vows outdoors, get your guests in on creating the ambience by giving out clear umbrellas to friends and family members as they arrive.

2. The Flowers Red roses, calla lilies, and amaryllis are decidedly winter wedding flowers, but if you step outside the flower box, and you'll find a variety of options for winter blooms.

winter wedding bouquet What's Hot Now: Consider fuller flowers, such as white hydrangeas and soft ranunculuses. White boutonnieres can be handsome when they're accented with greenery, but they also look great with a simple white ribbon. Add sparkle to your bouquet by wrapping the stems in ribbon embellished with crystals.

3. Invitations Since winter weddings are usually held indoors (it's an ideal time for ballroom receptions), they often call for a more formal invitations.

What's Hot Now: A black-tie event is nicely conveyed by heavy cardstock and a navy blue, chocolate-brown, or even eggplant font with hand calligraphy. For a fresh way to achieve a formal tone for your winter wedding, use thick, frosted Plexiglas invitations in white scripted ink. Send the sturdy invites out to all your guests tucked into silver envelope liners.

4. Centerpieces Go beyond glowing candles to add both warmth and romance to your reception site.

What's Hot Now: If you want to heighten the drama, bring in the icy outdoors with ice-carved vases on your reception tables. Have your florist fill the vases with tall winter-white branches and hanging crystals to reflect the light from the tables. Surround the centerpieces with votive candles, and top your tables with white dupioni table linens and frosted glass china.

5. Escort Cards Miniature sleighs and holly motifs stamped onto your escort cards would spell out the season pretty clearly, but they might not dazzle your guests.

What's Hot Now: Leave everyone awestruck as they retrieve their escort cards by making the entire table sparkle. Have the cards hand-calligraphed in silver ink and attach them to individual crystals with a ribbon. Hang each from an oversized crystal candelabra centerpiece for a new take on the popular escort card tree.

6. The Music A classical pianist playing during dinner is a sure way to create an elegant ambience, but consider a more unexpected accompaniment.

What's Hot Now: For a twist on the tunes, consider hiring an a capella quartet to sing background music at your reception. Have the group sing your favorite jazz and pop songs to set a welcoming and festive tone for the evening. If you're into a more classical sound, hire a cellist and ask that Vivaldi's "Winter" be included in the repertoire.

7. Cocktail Hour A winter cocktail hour calls for warm, comforting drinks. You really can't go wrong with hot chocolate and warm apple cider, but it's your wedding -- why not take every opportunity (drinks included) to add an element of surprise?

What's Hot Now: Serve up white hot chocolate in small espresso cups and eggnog in small punch glasses for your guests as they arrive. At the bar, offer saketinis (Japanese rice wine and sweet-flavored vodka) in glasses rimmed with sugar crystals.

8. The Cake A wedding cake trimmed in red or green ribbon or topped with roses looks pretty, but bakers who are willing to push the fondant envelope can reflect the winter in totally creative ways.

What's Hot Now: Play up the season with a white, vintage-style cake, dusted with edible silver powder. For accents, have your baker add a white sugar ribbon and crystal drops cascading down one side of the cake.

9. Favors Food wedding favors are always a hit, but if cookies or truffles seem passe, try new treat ideas to send your guests home satisfied.

What's Hot Now: Give out small packages of chocolate-covered cranberries or roasted chestnuts. An over-the-top idea that will undoubtedly impress: Have your caterer set up a hot chocolate and churros station to top off the evening.

10. Honeymoons While many couples flee the blustery weather for warmer (and sandier) locales for their honeymoon, a winter wedding can segue perfectly into a snowy escape.

What's Hot Now: Embrace the season and rent a cozy log cabin for a week in Lake Placid, or join the jet-setters at a luxurious hotel in Aspen for some serious skiing, wining, dining, and snuggling.
