Whether brides use only calla lilies in their bouquet or combine them with other flowers, there are a number of ideas available for wedding bouquets with calla lilies.

Simple Calla Lily Bouquet
-
If you're trying to accomplish a minimalist or simplistic look with your calla lily bouquet, a simple bouquet of regular white calla lily stems is one solution. This look can be achieved by simply tying together 10 to 15 calla lilies with floral tape. If you want to add color to your bouquet, tie a ribbon around the stems of the flowers. The bow can be simple and tied like you would tie a shoestring. Pick a color that complements your wedding colors, or add a pop of color to brighten your bouquet.
Combination Calla Lily Bouquet
-
If you want to only use calla lilies but are looking for a more elaborate bouquet, a combination of different sizes and types of calla lilies is also a wedding bouquet option. Calla lilies come in a variety of colors and shades and can be ordered in nearly any color imaginable.You can make a calla lily bouquet with multiple shades of one color, such as pink, or use multiple colors in the bouquet. Combining multiple colors or shades of calla lilies together can give the bouquet a fuller, more elaborate feel. Use mini calla lilies to fill in the gaps of a bouquet and give your wedding bouquet more dimension.

Contrasting Bouquets
-
Combine calla lilies with other types of flowers that contrast the calla lilies' color and sleek shape. One commonly used calla lily bouquet combines calla lilies and roses. Combining traditional white calla lilies with bright red roses offers a contrasting look because roses are different in size and shape than calla lilies. For bouquets that use pastel colors, calla lilies can be combined with light-colored hydrangeas that will complement a pastel color wheel beautifully yet contrast the calla lilies' shape.
Iris and Calla Lily Bouquets
-
Irises are similarly shaped flowers to calla lilies. Like the calla lily, irises have a smooth, sleek appearance and have long leafless stems. These flowers complement each other well, and add more depth than a simple calla lily bouquet, without the stark contrast of combining calla lilies with differently shaped flowers. Iris and calla lily bouquets are often combined with greenery that complements the flowers' long, smooth stems.
