What Coordinates With Calla Lilies?

Other Flowers

• Create a bouquet or flower arrangement using calla lilies with other flowers. For example, white calla lilies and large red roses work together for a formal wedding with a red and white color scheme. Miniature calla lilies can fill gaps between larger calla lilies and provide an interesting contrast. Any greenery will look natural with the lilies, so use it to fill in blank spaces if you prefer fuller floral arrangements.

Style

• Calla lilies work with different styles. If you are a fan of the curves, shapes and style of the art deco period, use calla lilies for their natural curvy shape. Alternatively, use a single calla lily in a tall vase for modern, contemporary or minimalist decor. The natural elegance of calla lilies make them suitable to nearly any decor or style you want to pair them with. Infuse your home or wedding with your style by accentuating the calla lilies with complementary vases, ribbons or arrangements.

Other Natural Items

• Pair the calla lilies with other items from nature. Calla lilies are often associated with the calmness of ponds due to their origins in marshy areas of South Africa. Use pond frogs, lily pads, smooth river stones or water to complement the nature of the flowers. Group a few calla lilies together in a tall, clear vase with a bed of smooth, black river stones anchoring the long stems. Alternatively, float the heads of the flowers on colored water.

Colors

• Calla lilies come in white, yellow, orange, pink, green and purple. Mix a few vibrant calla lilies for interest, such as yellow, orange and bright pink for a spring- or tropical-themed event or decor. Simple white calla lilies work with nearly any style or decor. Use a colorful vase to draw attention to the flower or a sleek clear, silver or black vase for an elegant look.
