Calla Lilies

Most people picture the calla as the standard tall white, cone shaped flower but did you know the calla is also available in miniature? Colors range from white to peach, orange, pink, ruby, red, yellow and purple plus several variegated varieties in the miniature size.

The calla is enjoying resurgence in popularity for today’s couples. Take a look at some of the pictures above to see just some of the ways Celebrations Design Group has incorporated callas into their designs.
Pictured, white callas are used in a traditional bridal bouquet. Paired with classic roses or just by themselves, callas are a simple accent for todays intricately designed bridal gown styles. A calla boutonniere adds just the right touch to this groom’s lapel.

Because of their sleek, clean lines, callas easily lend themselves to use in more modern designs. Tall glass vases with callas on top of lighted fabric boxes frame the ceremony setting for this lovely bride. The same calla piece is used on top of a small light disc for a dramatic centerpiece.

A few fun facts:
• The Calla lily plant is a perennial bulb.
• The word Calla comes from the Greek term for beautiful
