Anyone using Calla Lily flowers for bouquet...?

Have you looked at Michael's silk flowers? Every season they have 60% off sales on all silk flowers...

My bridesmaids will be having calla lily bouquets. I was going to DIY them and bought real touch flowers from Hobby Lobby, but once the flowers kinda withered and yellowed after a month of being in a bag I decided to go a different route and have someone on Etsy make them.

Here's an Etsy seller I found:

I am but I am using real ones and my boquet is the cheapest of them all at $45.

That sounds like a great price Stephanie!! I haven't decided on flowers just yet, but calla lilies are on my radar. Let us know what you find!

MY FSIL had real calla lillies for her wedding

I did the fake calli lily for my friends bouquet and they turned out beautiful. I bought mine at Hobby Lobby and they didn't turn yellow. Two years later they are still as beautiful as the day I made them

Don't calla lilies represent death? Not judging, just curious.

I'm hoping to do my wedding with red roses, black lilies, and possibly white calla lilies. I've never heard anything about them representing death, although I think with my zombie theme that would still be ok. They're just my favorite flower, ever since I was a kid. Haven't started looking into it though .

White lilies (especially the White Stargazer) are most often associated with death and are often seen at wakes and funerals (traditionally, they represent the soul's return to innocence upon its departure). Callas aren't traditionally a death flower, but they are seen at funerals as well. Actually, callas aren't even really lilies.

Thanks! I was always curious. With the zombie theme it works PERRRRFECTLY.

I'm getting purple calla lilies and the bridesmaids are getting white.

I got real touch calla lilies in white and lavender from afloral.com

I ordered mine from dongdeplastic.com They are excellent and I paid very little. It took about a month to get but I think they feel and look better than the ones at hobby lobby. I have other pics of bridesmaids if you want to see.
