- Modern glam: Deep purple calla lilies mixed with black foliage and gold accents.
- Romantic: Blush pink roses with white calla lilies in a rounded posy.
- Tropical: A bold, cascading bridal bouquet with calla lilies, orchids and greenery.
You can even opt for an artificial calla lily bridal bouquet if you want a keepsake that will last forever or if you're getting married abroad and need a travel-friendly option.
How many calla lilies in a bridal bouquet?
The number of calla lilies you’ll need depends on the bouquet style - check with your wedding florist to find out how many you'll need, or use the below as a rough guide:
- A small posy: 5 - 7 stems
- Medium, hand-tied bouquet: 8 - 12 stems
- Cascading bouquet: 12 - 20+ stems (depending on the size you want it to be)
Hitched tip: Mini calla lilies (which are smaller than standard ones) can be used in greater quantities to create volume without overwhelming the bouquet.
How much is a calla lily bridal bouquet?
How much a calla lily bridal bouquet costs will depend on a number of factors.
It's always advisable to speak to your florist to find out exact prices, but bear in mind the time of year, the amount of flowers you want and if you want any additional flowers (such as roses, hydrangeas or chrysanthemums, all of which pair well) or greenery will all impact the cost.
Artificial calla lilies can sometimes be a more affordable alternative, so that's something to consider if you're working to a tight budget.
