10 Sophisticated Calla Lily Wedding Bouquets
Calla Lilies are one of the most popular choices for wedding bouquets by brides around the world. These flowers are known for their beauty and elegance; the tall, elegant flower stalks of Calla Lilies add a sense of sophistication to your bridal look.
A bit of background: Calla is a flowering genus of twenty-eight species originating in Africa and growing mostly in marshy areas. Calla Lilies are grown from bulbous roots with finger-like growths. These are known as tubers. The blooming time of Calla Lilies is late spring and that's why Calla Lily wedding bouquets are so popular in the spring. The word Calla comes from the Greek term for beautiful.
These eye-catching lilies symbolize innocence and purity and are mostly used during the summer and spring season of weddings.
The classic Calla Lily is all white with a yellow'spadex'—the p - the protruding yellow part coming out from its center. The beauty of having a bouquet of Calla Lilies is that they are so simple to arrange if you want to use them on their own. Just pick the right length of stems you would like to have and wrap them with a beautiful material.
An all white Calla Lily bridal bouquet is elegant and refined. For additional oomph you can mix Calla Lilies with other flowers and greenery. An all white bouquet of Calla Lilies, white roses and orchids is so grand and luxurious. You can also add a touch of greenery for a deeper impact.
