I have decided to use calla lilys in my wedding. What other kinds of flowers look good with them? I still have not decided on colors yet. But my mom is going to be the one making the bouquets for everyone and we will be using fake flowers so we can keep them. Mom wants me to find other flowers so she can start planning how she will arrange them. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks!!
Wedding flowers?
Try some green foliage to take up the space. Calla Lilly's are beautiful on their own.
Reply:I loved Calla Lilies! They are what I used for my own bouquet. But it wasn't the traditional hand carried kind. Mine was an arm bouquet, long stems green foiliage and 6 of the most beautiful Calla Lilies. My bridesmaids carried dried wildflowers and that was all we used for flowers. I went cheap and easy for those, they weren't as important as mine. My bouquet was the only one that mattered to me so I didn't want to take away from its beauty. It was simple and I got more compliments on that one single decision than I can count. I Love the idea! Just try to remain calm, Calla Lilies are graceful, elegant flowers that don't need alot of dressing up. Simple is always best with this flower.
Reply:roses and hygrangeas look very pretty with calla lillies, and all come in a variety of colors.
I don't know if you need it or not, but I have had great luck with www.save-on-crafts.com They have HIGH quality realistic silk flowers for WAY less $$$! I had fresh bouquets, but made my centerpeices (they were topiary balls covered in silk gerbera daisies) and people had no clue they werent real till they were RIGHT on top of them. I ordered about 400 gerbera daisies and they costed me around .49 cents each with shipping. GREAT bulk rates and since you will need lots I'm sure, I highly reccomend it!
This site is a a link to about a gazillion floral sites featuring wedding bouquets and other decorations, you may get some ideas of what to put with your calla lillies there, it really helped me before I went and talked to my florist!

Reply:Aww, dont use fake flowers they really take away from the beauty of the cala lillies.
i had a bouquet at my work desk that was white cala lillies, deep red roses, babys breath, and fur tree. it was beautiful. i think i have pictures.
Reply:I also used fake flowers but I had an outside sunset ceramony so I had battery operated lights in mine and after 7yrs I still have em and the lights still work.Green is all you need for calla lillies. Good luck!
Reply:i'm using white callas by themselves for my bouquet, and white callas mixed with white tulips for the bridesmaids...
they look very simple and classy put together :)
Reply:arum lilies or the other white lilies look very weddingy (and you get them very real looking in plastic), also some gebras, those look very feminine. If you want ideas, id be only too happy to provide a picture taken at 'a' wedding. Although those are fresh flowers.
Reply:I too am using the same flowers, I added some spongey type spring color roses into mine, I'm making my own also.
when is the big day?
Reply:Hey I am using fake flowers as well. Someone gave me this website and the woman specializes in fake calla lilly wedding bouquets. I am not using callas but these are stunning and very real looking. It doesn't show price though.

Reply:First Congrats on your wedding! By the way my wedding's flower is also the white calla lilly. I'm actually sticking to a white theme. So any flowers that are white will go with my bouquet. However if you want to add a touch of color, make sure the colors are soft and NOT strong and bright, other wise your focus will be on the bright colored flowers and not your calla lillies.
Reply:Hydrangeas look great with calla lillies. that's what i am using for my wedding. Periwinkle calla lillies and some hydrangeas are the colors i am using in my bouquets.
Reply:I would actually stick with lilies. Lilies have such a variety, unlike roses where it's really just the color that makes a difference.
Reply:congrats!!!! i just got married in dec.07... so looked through so many wedding magazines and lots of different flowers!!!! I think colored calla lillies,... like orange/red calla lillies with deep red roses look great! also hot red/pink and red roses look great too ...try colored calla lillies for something different. i hope i helped
Reply:Don't use fake flowers. They will gather dust and in the end they will be thrown away. Either way the flowers will be thrown away. Use freesias.
Reply:Use flowers that are the color of your wedding scheme. I think silk flowers are the way to go because like you said you get to keep them and it is so expensive to have real flowers processed for keepsakes (they usually use a silking process anyway) plus they are a lot less expensive. Make sure to have your mom fix a smaller bouquet that matches your for the bouquet toss at the reception.. Congrats.
Reply:If you wanna make a real wedding, you can try a garden party. And of course, no fake flowers. It's really looks beautiful and realistic. And, red rose is better because it's have their own speciality. And, you also can take a flower or two and put at your hair. It's beautiful. I knew it because i ever look it before.
