The name Calla in Calla lilies stands for “beautiful” in the Greek language and this describes these flowers perfectly. They actually originate from the continent of Africa and are recognized as the most traditional flowers to have in a bridal bouquet.
A Calla lilies bridal bouquet will exude class and elegance for any bride and is best teamed with a sophisticated wedding dress. These flowers speak volumes and need no other flowers to make the bridal bouquet but they tend to look particularly great with roses, especially pink roses teamed with white Calla lilies. This calla lilies bridal bouquet tends to emphasize a fairytale wedding, with its pastel and elegant colours, but there is room for experimentation with these classic flowers. White calla lilies can be matched with most colours of roses, but green roses can be used in a more modern and stylish wedding and blood red roses can provoke a more dramatic effect.
If you are looking for calla lilies to put in your bridal bouquet you could always take a look at the massive variety of colours and sizes that these flowers can offer. You can combine full size calla lilies in your bridal bouquet with miniature calla lilies as table displays and you can also used the miniature versions to emphasize the beauty of their full sized counterparts to make for a more extensive bridal bouquet.
Depending on the season in which you wish to get married, miniature calla lilies can produce more of a variety of colours for your bridal bouquet and red, yellow, pink and white seem to be the colours of choice. Again, these can be used in conjunction with the full sized versions of the flower or added to the bridal bouquet to inject a little more colour into the occasion.
The best thing about a calla lilies bridal bouquet is that they can be made to match the exact style of your wedding. A simple bouquet to match a simple wedding could involve ten or twelve stems being tied together with a ribbon that matches the wedding theme. These can be held over the arm or in front of the dress, depending on the look that you want to achieve.
Calla lilies have a wonderful and fresh scent and can make for a wonderful bouquet for any bride. With eight species of calla lily available, some being rarer than others, the colour that you are looking for will depend on the season in which you are getting married and also the climate in which they were grown. You will also find that the hue of the flower itself will deepen as the flower grows and matures.
For a bridal bouquet to rival any other, look forward to the tranquillity and sophistication of this beautiful flower. The calla lily will provide you with everything that you are looking for in a bridal bouquet whether it be a modern bouquet or a more stylish and classic one, and it will look great when purchased from a florist as a complete bridal bouquet or when made at home.
