Nothing beats the beauty of the calla lily. In this case, why not use a mini calla lily bouquet on your wedding day?
- The good thing about calla lily is that compared to other flowers, this one is already beautiful even if the look of it is just simple. Pick the type of Calla lily that are not yet in fully open. This makes it easier that on the day of the wedding, the flowers are in bloom. It works that you need to make the mini calla lily bouquet a night before the wedding.
- You will need the following materials to make the bouquet: a nice satin ribbon (make it 2 inches wide), a thin wire, very sharp scissors and a small pot to put the flowers. Take note that calla lily is a very expensive flower. So it would be cost effective if you use the smaller ones.
- Once you have purchased the flowers, the next thing you need to do when making a mini calla lily bouquet is to bundle the flowers nicely. You will need the scissors to trim and remove the brown edges at the end of the stems. Now that you are done with the trimming, the next thing you need to do when making a mini calla lily bouquet is to use a wire to tie the flowers in a nice bundle. Make sure that the wire is thin enough--as thin as chicken wire. This makes it not too visible behind the ribbon. Now that you have bundled the flowers, you will need to wrap the ribbon around the stems. Since there are different colors of calla lilies in the market, you need to consider that picking a ribbon color can make or break the look of your mini calla lily bouquet. Pick the one that doesn't contrast the color of the flower. Instead, if you plan to use white calla lily, you can choose a nice white satin ribbon; or, you can use gold to help the flowers truly stand out. Aside from that gold brings out the color of the stems.
- Before you get all excited for the big day, what you need to do is put the flowers in a small pot that contains 3/4 water and 1/2 an aspirin. This would keep your flowers fresh until the next day. Also use a spray container to wet the petals of your mini calla lily bouquet.
