I dont want to spend a lot on them, but I dont want them to look *cheap*
What do you guys think of my Bridesmaids holding ONE calla lily and myself hold a boK of maybe 5.
Calla Lily:
My mother thinks it would look sophisticated. The simplicity of it.
what do you guys think? Is it TOO little?

You're very welcome. I love callas. Tulips are my favorite, but callas are a very close second. But I love tulips for the same reason, they're so simple and elegant and I think less is def. more with them.

Re: FLOWER QUESTION
it's totally simple and sophisticated - regular calla lilies are large so it will look great! and if you want you can get a bo-k of mini callas, i've nevr seen how it looks with a bo-k of 5 large.

Re: FLOWER QUESTION
I'm having my BMs carrying a single jumbo calla lily, so of course I think it's a great idea I really like the dramatic (yet simplistic) statement of one big flower for the girls. Plus it went with my art deco/vintage theme.

Re: FLOWER QUESTION
Let me just say- I hate calla lillies! But- I think the look with a single large stem will look elegant with your BMs dresses! Stunning. And it will look equally as fabulous with your dress!

Re: FLOWER QUESTION

Re: FLOWER QUESTION
I have seen even one large calla in wedding mazaines and it looks fine. Its what you want honestly. I was going to go with fans but ironically FH really wanted us to go with flower bo-ks because he said gerbers are 'our flower' so we did that. But certain flowers like callas are elaborate on their own so doesn't take much.

Re: FLOWER QUESTION
I think you will be fine, but I remember John from Flower Michelle telling me that the large callas will droop without water after a little bit...so just be careful...
Otherwise, very elegant.
