Calla Lily Wedding Ideas
The calla lily gives an elegant appearance with its trumpet-like blossom and strong stalk. Two varieties exist: the standard, which is the creamy white, long-stem variety; and the miniature, which comes in a variety of colors. As more brides choose the calla lily for their wedding, the selection of materials for this theme increases, making calla lily wedding decorations and accessories easier to find.

Colors
-
The calla lily comes in a variety of colors that give you many options when it comes to wedding colors. The creamy white of the standard calla lily may be offset with a chocolate brown for a warm color scheme, or with a black for a classic one. A red calla lily brightens up a blue or gray color scheme as it adds a burst of color. Consider a bright yellow calla lily with green for a fresh and airy decoration appearance.
Written Paper Products
-
Continue the color scheme and calla lily design into your paper products for the wedding, such as the save-the-date cards and wedding invitations. Select card stock or print ink that complements your colors, or choose card stock with the calla lily printed on the paper. Place the calla lily design on RSVP cards, place cards, and menu and thank you cards for a uniform appearance. For DIY types, a stamp with the calla lily may be used to ink your own wedding products with the design.

Flowers

Calla lilies create an elegant look as they stand alone, but they also combine well with other flowers in a bridal bouquet or wedding centerpiece. Consider a simple nosegay arrangement of calla lilies for your bouquet or blend them into a two-layer display with red roses on the outer layer and pink calla lilies inside the center. A centerpiece of yellow and red calla lilies complements the fiery center of a Hawaiian orchid, or blend a creamy centerpiece with plumeria, tulips and calla lilies.
Table
-
Bring the colors and delicateness of the calla lily to your table by your choice of table linens, chair back covers, and table runners. Choose accessories for the table, such as calla lily candle holders, place card holders, or a photograph frame. Add the calla lily design to your wedding cake. Place the calla lilies on the top layer floating down the sides of the cake, or surround the bottom layers with a collection of calla lilies.
