Today was an exciting day, my first time out looking for flowers for my wedding! I've had my heart set on deep-purple calla lilies since before I had even met my fiance (what girl DOESN'T dream of their perfect wedding bouquet?!). The first florist I went to was very helpful and optimistic about how in-season calla's would be for that time of year. The second florist I went to, however, cautioned me against using calla's, saying that they tended to bruise easily and lose their shape within half an hour of taking them out of water. She did say that they carried silk calla lilies instead and that I could buy those through the flower shop and have them incorporated in to my bouquets instead.
Have any brides out there had any experience with calla lilies, or heard this before? I didn't think calla lilies were a very delicate flower.
Thanks!
