Calla lilies are delicate flowers that amaze through their unique form and texture. Because of their subtle and elegant look, calla lilies are often used in bridal bouquets, either by themselves or in combination with other flowers. When deciding to incorporate calla lilies in your wedding flowers there are a couple of things you need to consider: the size, the color and the bloom style of the flowers. In terms of size, you have to choose between the commonplace and the mini calla lilies. This decision is obviously based on the type of bouquet you will have. The blossoms are also of two types: totally opened and closed.
The bridal bouquet has to be chosen so as to match the other bridal elements such as the wedding dress, the bridesmaids’ bouquets and the flower arrangements that decorate the church and reception. If your goal is to obtain a classy bouquet, you can combine calla lilies with snapdragons. This latter flower is available all year long and works perfectly with calla lilies to create a wonderful flower arrangement. Snapdragons have a diversified color palette (white, yellow, orange, pink, purple and dark red) so you have various shades from where to choose.
Depending on the type of wedding you have, you can obtain a vivacious bridal bouquet with an assortment of snapdragons and calla lilies of different tones. Of course, you need to pay attention to the colors you combine (these have to be more or less from the same color scheme). Otherwise, you will end up with a splash of color that will definitely not be a result of your good taste.
Snapdragons can be purchase in bunches and are thin, long stemmed flowers that can be used as a filler in your calla lily bridal bouquet. The calla lily is still the main focus of your bridal bouquet, the snapdragons are only used to make the arrangement seem complete. If you have an elegant reception, white calla lilies complemented with lavender snapdragons will be a refined choice for your wedding bouquet.
