Calla lilies have had quite the comeback, and it's clear they're here to stay. With their curved silhouette and sculptural elegance, these blooms offer a modern take on classic romance. Long associated with devotion and rebirth, the calla lily feels especially resonant for weddings and are surprisingly versatile, too. Whether you’re leaning into a minimalist aesthetic or planning something more editorial, these florals can bring the look together in a way that feels effortless yet elevated. From the ceremony aisle to the reception tablescape, these are the chicest ways to style them.

Upside Down Installations
There’s something so enchanting about walking into a space and seeing florals suspended from above. Hung upside down over long reception tables or as part of a ceremony installation, the effect is soft, sculptural, and surreal. It’s a bold look that works best when the rest of the decor is kept minimal with clean lines, low lighting, and a monochrome palette.

A Single Bloom Bouquet
Sometimes, one is enough. A single calla lily bloom carried as a minimalist bouquet makes a cool and confident statement. Tied with a ribbon or left alone, you can play with scale by choosing a long-stemmed variety or lean into softness with a smaller, more delicate bloom.

Sculptural Arrangements
Calla lilies are naturally sculptural, so let their shape lead the design. Group them together in modern, asymmetrical bouquets or feature them solo in structured floral arrangements. Avoid filler and keep the palette simple as these flowers that don’t need much dressing up.

Beaded Pearl Stems
Add a subtle vintage moment by adding pearl beading to the stems of your bouquet. It’s a detail that feels romantic without being too precious and will double as a chic accessory. Pair with satin or silk ribbons to keep the look cohesive, or simply carry as a bouquet that subtly drapes into a crescent.

Single-Stem Table Arrangements
Single-stem arrangements are quickly becoming the floral statement of the year. Whether sprouting from the tablescape or styled in ikebana-inspired vessels, this intentional minimalism feels modern, fresh, and quietly powerful. It’s an artistic approach that brings sculptural stillness to the table—perfect for intimate gatherings and elevated, fashion-forward settings.

Striking Clusters
Instead of spacing calla lilies evenly throughout an arrangement, group them in organic clusters. This approach highlights their form and brings depth to the design. Perfect for your ceremony, they're even more striking when adding in contrasting textures—like soft grasses or structured greens—for an editorial finish.
A Handful of Calla Lilies
For the minimalist bride, there’s nothing more striking than a simple bunch of calla lilies. Let the stems remain visible and skip the extra greenery. The look is confident, pared back, and undeniably chic.

Botanical Chaos Cakes
For a cake that feels more like a living sculpture than a dessert, botanical chaos cakes embrace the unexpected. Layered textures, and real calla lilies blooming out from folds of buttercream piping creates an effect that is both organic and romantic. It’s less about symmetry, more about emotion—and makes for a centerpiece that’s as memorable as the dress.

Chic & Sleek Vases
The right vase can make all the difference. Choose tall, narrow vases, in silver or glass that mimic the calla lily’s natural lines. When styled this way, even a single stem feels like a considered design moment and will make the perfect tablescape accent.
