Amalgamation Of Calla Lily Bridal Bouquets And Foliage

By Ryker Crogan


The calla lily is frequently known as an Easter lily in many places. This is often due to popularity as a gift during Easter and spring. It is also called the Lily of the Nile by some for its native land. This perennial is evergreen in some areas and deciduous in others. In the wild it grows along streams and rivers in warmer climates. It is often grown indoors as a houseplant or in a garden location. Zantedeschia aethiopica includes species such as Calla aethiopica.

They spread by creating new bulbs that will develop into plants. This makes it easy to divide lilies and thin out heavy clusters. Almost any soil is suitable, making it a hardy and versatile plant. It is not necessary to enhance soil as long as it is at least average. Very rocky or clay filled soils may need to have additives mixed in. The humidity is an important concern for growing outdoor plants. Here are few fillers and foliage that mix well with calla lily bridal bouquet for the fall season.

Hypericum Berry: Hypericum is a popular filler flower that comes in shades of red, green, pink, orange and white. Hypericum is a staple in fall floral and winter floral designs. Hypericum berry pairs beautifully with callas or mixed in with other fall flowers. There are many drastically different species within the genus Hypericum. The ones used by florists are the varieties of Hypericum androsaemum, a native to Eurasia, now in gardens in many parts of the world. Many varieties of this particular species have been developed, mostly for varying colors of the berries.

Croton: Croton is a colorful tropical looking foliage. Orange or yellow callas with corton is a striking combination perfect for a fall wedding bouquet. Croton is an extensive flowering plant genus in the spurge family, Euphorbiaceae. The plants of this genus were described and introduced to Europeans by Georg Eberhard Rumphius. The common names for this genus are rushfoil and croton, but the latter also refers to Codiaeum variegatum. The generic name comes from the Greek κροτον (kroton), which means "tick" and refers to the shape of the seeds of certain species.

Green Millet: Millet is a leafy filler that looks like amaranthus. It works well in natural looking floral designs or rustic themed arrangements. Millet is great to use to soften a bouquets look. White calla lilies and millet make a natural looking bouquet for the fall, while purple callas and millet make a richer looking bouquet. Another one is Lemon Leaf. Lemon leaf, also known as Salal tips, has oval shaped foliage with woody branches. It is a great green to use in wedding bouquets. Lemon leaf can add stability to flimsy blooms and give a bouquet a more finished look. Leaves can be cut and shaped to fit the style of the bouquet.
