Callas are Back!

The first calla lillies of the season are now on the markets, just in time for Sharon's wedding last week on Friday 18th September at Wanaka.
Her bouquet was a mass ov ivory blooms that had the slightest hint of powderpuff pink around the tips, and simply finished with folded aspidistra leaves and beargrass for movement.


Her Bridesmaids carried simplistic bouquets of Mango callas, finished in the same fashion as the brides but with matching coloured ribbon.


For cost effective bouquets, calla lillies are the way to go - just a few stems gives maximum effect and there straight, clean stems means less treatment and processing time for the florists!

The colour range is huge - from soft ivory and creams to lemons and bright citrus yellows, rusty terracotta shades and firey oranges, pale pinks, deep pinks, mauve and lilacs, not to mention the beautiful Majestic red and deep wine / burgundy shades and of course the black callas - the darkest of purples.
