Calla lilies, meaning “magnificent beauty”, have long been symbols
of purity and grace. For use in bouquets, Calla lilies are usually
presented in a cascade style. These long-stemmed bouquets are held
as if carrying a baby, in the nook of the arm.
An alternate presentation of the bouquet is to cut the stems
shorter and wrap them just beneath the flower, to resemble a
traditional hand-held bouquet. In addition, matching groom’s
boutonniere can be made using a single flower.
If you wish to extend the use of calla lily wedding decorations
beyond just the bouquets and boutonnieres, consider stationary
that features this special flower. You can send your invitations
on paper with a subtle embossed calla lily in the background.
Matching thank you notes are available as well. There are even
seating place cards and wedding programs that picture this
beautiful symbol.
The image of the calla lily can also serve as the unifying theme
for your wedding. There are many calla lily wedding decoration
accessories, including cake toppers, candles, centerpieces, vases
and guest books, just to name a few.
As wedding favors for your guests, a small picture frame featuring
a calla lily would provide your guests with a lasting memory of
the day. You might also consider giving guests 2-3 calla lily
bulbs wrapped in organza with instructions on how to plant them.
Even the wedding cake itself can prominently feature hand-crafted
calla lilies made of frosting. It can be time-consuming to make
these delicate edible flowers, so be prepared to splurge if you
wish to have a lot of these all over the cake.
Calla lilies are usually available year-round, but occasionally it
is harder to find them in the fall season. If you find that you
are unable to procure as many as you need, or if the cost of fresh
flowers exceeds your budget, you can purchase silk flowers are a
craft store. These are sold in bunches or as single stems.
Native to South Africa, calla lilies are also known as ‘lily of
the Nile’or ‘florist’s calla’. The name for this flower is
somewhat misleading. Calla lilies are not actually ‘lillies’, but
in reality, belong to the Arum family, which also includes other
houseplants such as the philodendron and caladium.
It is particularly useful to know that these flowers are highly
toxic and may be deadly if ingested. Therefore, you may want to
use an alternate choice of flower for the little ones in your
wedding party.
If you have always pictured yourself getting married surrounded by
these majestic flowers, there is no reason not to go all the way
with your calla lily wedding decoration.
