Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Start with 2 calla lilies, 1 a little below the other, and tape them together using floral stem wrap. Then continue adding and taping lilies until you have reached the desired cascade length. (Sandy uses 5 calla lilies).
Step2
Create another bouquet by arranging callas in a round form (hand-tied style -- see our "Hand-Tied Calla Lily video for reference"), and tape stems together.
Step3
Attach cascading section to the hand-tied calla lilies using floral tape to secure.
Step4
Using the calla lily leaves, add greenery to the bouquet. Again, attach and secure with the floral tape.
Step5
To hide the tape, wrap ribbon around the calla lily stems and attach with glue or pearl headed pins like Sandy.

What a delightful video how-to!!! I feel like I could actually make one of those bouquets right now...myself! :)) You truly could set the example to others, like myself, on how-to make a great video how-to. You were lovely, funny, and completely informative on the making of the Calla Lily Bouquet.
Thanks again for such an entertaining class in Floral 101; I would really like to try my hand at it...I'll let ya know if mine looks half as good as yours! haha Also...please pray for me as I work on my book of Devotionals. I am slow, but sure! lol
Bless you all at AFloral today and always; I commend the works of art you gals produce! Keep up the great job AND the great videos!!!
Warmly,
