"Calla" is Cute ♡
Do you like the long, slender shape of "Calla" flowers?
Compared to flowers like roses and sunflowers, the name of this flower may be less familiar, but it is a classic variety commonly used in weddings.
Since it has been a long-standing standard, some might have avoided it thinking, "It might be a bit too elegant," or "It might not look modern..."
But actually, calla lilies are showing signs of a resurgence♡ They look really cute♡
About the Flower "Calla"*
First, let's learn about calla lilies.
Calla lilies belong to the Araceae family. They are native to South Africa, and their blooming season is from April to June. They are spring flowers.
While they are often associated with a white color, they are actually quite colorful, including pink, yellow, and orange.
In English, they are called calla lilies.
The language of flowers associated with them includes "elegant beauty," "maiden's modesty," and "purity," giving them a noble and beautiful impression♡
They are also the birth flowers for June 27, July 28 (for the yellow ones), and October 31, so there may be brides who find that they match their birth month or their wedding date!♡
Also, in Taiwan, calla flower fields are quite famous! There are calla flower fields located in "Zhuzihu," at the northernmost part of Taipei, which are packed with local people coming for dates and sightseeing during the peak bloom season in spring!♡
Cute Calla Bouquets ♡
Here, we introduce cute bouquets featuring calla lilies as the main flower♩ Traditionally, calla bouquets consisted of just a few stems bundled together,
but recently it has become trendy to create volume by bundling many stems or mixing them with other flowers*
Mixing with greenery gives a more transparent impression ♡ It's something new, isn't it? ♩
Mixing with small flowers creates a gentle atmosphere ♡ Similar to the greenery mix, it gives a natural wedding vibe*
When paired with pastel-colored flowers with lots of petals, it looks so cute♡ Using calla lilies in a romantic princess-style bouquet feels so fresh!*
Pink calla lilies are lovely too. The unique shape of calla flowers makes them a great accent ♩
A long calla bouquet also pairs beautifully with natural flowers like astilbe, perfect for a garden wedding atmosphere!♡
Cute Calla Table Decorations ♡
Using calla lilies for table decorations gives a very elegant, luxurious, and stylish look*
Since calla lilies have long stems, displaying them in tall glass vases adds presence ♡
Their transparent quality also complements fairy lights nicely ♩
Combining them with baby’s breath is a new trend* The combination of the traditionally hotel wedding-feeling calla lilies with the natural baby’s breath feels very contemporary.
If you cut them short, it looks like this* Trimming the stems gives a bit of a tropical feel as well!♡
Twisting the long stems into a glass bowl vase resembling a goldfish bowl is also stylish*
Recently, I feel that calla lilies are incredibly cute ♡
A little while ago, calla lilies didn't seem very modern, with people saying "too mature" or "kind of old-fashioned"...
But somehow, they appear very cute these days ♡
They have a dignified impression, yet the combination of white, green, and yellow gives them an adorable vibe too ♡
While maintaining a cute atmosphere, calla lilies carry a luxurious image, so they don't become too casual, which is another charm of them*
