Hey girls.

I have been looking online and in magazines and with florists and I cannot find a picture of what I'm wanting. I have a picture in my mind of what I want, but that's it. I've been thinking of having someone draw it (I'm NOT a gifted artist)....

I'm wanting an OVERFLOWING pageant style bouquet of white calla lillies with just a few red callas here and there. I know the stems are long, but I don't want it to be "made up" of the stems, I want you to see more flower then stem. Has anyone seen anything like this?

If I can't pull this off, my back up is to go with a pageant style bouquet of red roses (our 2nd flower) and have a few white callas here and there.

    Try google or the bouquet section on this site.  Focus on the flower part for what you are looking for.  You can always trim the stems (to an extent) and have them tied.

    Find a good florist in your area and talk about it... Not everything is in a photo on the web.
    Callas have big thick stems... and if you want more flower than stem  some will need to be wired and taped into "submission."  A trained designer will know how to take it on and make it work. 
    Sounds like a beautiful bouquet... talk to a good professional...

    From your description, it sounds like you want a "cascade" type bouquet.  Do you mean something like these?  (I Googled "calla lily bouquets, cascading")

    From your description, it may be easier and less expensive for your bouquet to be made with silk flowers, plus it likely will be alot lighter to carry.  I hope you find what you are dreaming of.
