Calla Lily Wedding Favors

September 16th, 2010 | Author: Sarah

There is no shortage of charming calla lily wedding favors. If you have chosen this classic flower as part of your wedding theme, you will have no trouble finding elegant favors to provide your guests.

Your best friend in searching for budget-friendly yet attractive calla lily favors is an online shop. The selection will be more extensive than a brick and mortar store and you can order easily any time of the day or night. Moreover, though, it makes for one less thing you have to run around and do is always a help.

Live Bulbs

A darling idea for a calla lily favor is a live bulb. You can order the bulbs in bulk online and wrap them in tulle and ribbon for each guest. When they plant the bulb and again when the flower blooms, they’ll think of you. This is a great eco-friendly idea that ensures no gift goes to waste. Plus, you’re beautifying the planet!

Wine Accessories

Hip brides are finding that wine accessories are a big hit with guests. You can find calla lily corkscrews, wine charms and wine bottle stopper favors. Each with a different calla lily design, they’ll fit right in with your décor and look great on your tables. And guests will be happy to have something they can use. You can also find wine glasses and champagne flutes with the lily etched or printed on them.

Bookmarks

There are a number of choices available in calla lily bookmark favors. Everyone loves a bookmark and again, giving something useful is always a good idea. Every time your guests see that darling bloom popping out above their page, they will think of the great time they had at your wedding.

Capodimonte Sculpture

Capodimonte is a type of porcelain sculpture highly prized for its beauty. The calla lily is an especially popular design for such exquisite handwork. You can offer each couple or each guest a single capodimonte calla lily stem and bloom in a special box or you can offer a trinket box with a sculpted calla lily on it.

Soaps

A nice touch is to offer calla lily blossom soaps. You can put some out in the ladies room at your reception and then have them wrapped in tulle as favors to take home at each place setting. There are petal-shaped soaps and also whole blossoms you can select from.

Place Card Holders

Set out a sea of calla lilies on the sign-in table where guests will look for their table numbers. There are a number of lovely choices when it comes to place card holders with calla lily designs. Each one is a treasure on its own and guests can bring them home at the end of the festivities.

Mini Cakes

Lately, the rage has been to offer guests mini wedding cakes to take home. The two-tier minis can be boxed in a calla lily-themed tin and the cakes themselves can be ordered with icing lilies. This is a charming way to let guests enjoy your theme at home.

Flowers for the Flower Girl

You’ll want to make sure to carry your theme out in a gift to your flower girl. She’ll love a special silk-wrapped basket she can take home that’s filled with calla lily shaped chocolates or real petals. And for the ring bearer, have him carry a pillow with your rings attached to a stem of a real or silk blossom. (Send him home with chocolates too!)

Don’t forget yourself!

In addition to the themed favors you can provide your guests, you can carry your theme into other areas of the wedding as well. You can have a unity candle for the head table with calla lilies on it, cake servers with calla lily handles, even a garter belt with a tiny embroidered lily. Your cake topper can be a porcelain calla lily or a couple holding calla lilies. There’s no limit to the details you can add.

Calla Lily Wedding Inspiration Board

December 14th, 2009 | Author: admin

The long graceful lines, showy blooms, and wide array of colors available make the calla lily a popular flower choice amongst today's brides. These traits are also what make it a popular choice for florists, cake bakers, and wedding accessory designers. Calla lilies now grace weddings appearing in everything from the bridal bouquet to the wedding reception centerpieces to the wedding guest favors.

In a future post, we'll explore the many colors that calla lilies are available in, but today, for this inspiration board, we have focused on the traditional white or ivory calla lily. And please bear in mind, that traditional doesn't need to mean outdated....calla lilies can be arranged in up-to-date modern ways to create a contemporary flair.

One of our favorite finds during our research was the wide array of calla lily themed postage stamps available at companies like Zazzle or Cafe Press. The stamps are fully compliant with U.S. postal service guidelines and they feature just about every color of calla lilies you can think of. They are a great way to dress up your RSVP or wedding invitations. Besides stamps, our calla lily inspiration board has ideas for the wedding cake, attire, flowers, accessories and more.
