Calla Lilies are one of the most elegant wedding flowers available and this particular flower represents “magnificent beauty.” Calla lilies originated in Africa but can be found nowadays virtually anywhere. These flowers feature a large, trumpet – shaped bloom, which rests gently in a smooth stem.  

These beautiful flowers have been often portrayed in paintings; Diego Rivera, the Mexican painter included these flowers in his pieces of art regularly. 

Standard callas are easy to arrange and to maintain. They are often used in tall arrangements or presentation bouquets. Standard callas can be used by themselves or with fillers for a chic yet simple look.  Mini Calla Lilies are highly sought after for use in bouquets and arrangements of wedding flowers. The size, manageable stem thickness and fun colors make Mini Calla Lilies very popular in boutonnieres and corsages. White is the most popular color available; however like most flowers, mini callas come in a variety of colors.
