When we think of graceful, elegant flowers, calla lilies definitely make the list. The chic and modern trumpet-shaped flower can easily stand alone or be mixed with other flowers, building depth, providing intrigue, and most importantly, creating beauty. “I believe the calla lily speaks for itself: a sleek, glamorous, sophisticated timeless look,” says wedding planner and designer Isabelle Kline.
Typically available year-round, florists can obtain calla lilies at any time, which means no matter what season your wedding is scheduled for, calla lilies can be a part of the design. “A calla lily provides that sleek, clean, sophisticated look,” shares Kline. “Calla lilies lend themselves to be striking all on their own; a floral designer can be creative in their presentation with creating a sophisticated, modern, and elegant feel.”
While most commonly seen in its shade of crisp white, calla lilies come in a wide array of colors, from orange to deep aubergine that borders on black. “Small bouquets, depending on large calla lilies versus miniature calla lilies, can range from $45-$65, approximately $5-$8 per stem,” shares Kline. “Larger bouquets can cost $180 or more, depending on the design and number of stems.”
