I'm getting married August 29,2009. I'm looking for some inexpensive tall tower vases. They need to hold my Calla Lilies.

By Davene (Guest Post)

Ok I want calla lilies but my color combination is chocolate and burnt orange. I've seen the orange calla's but I can't seem to find them. Do you think I should go with the cream one? My dress is white so I don't want to look extra crazy.

I'm getting married October 18 and am using cala's as well! I'm going to partially fill cylinder vases with dark roast coffee beans and fake lillies from afloral.com. (I ordered a couple of cala lillies from them and they look great!) You can find coffee beans relatively cheap at Wal-Mart or Sam's. You can get cylinder vases for about $2 each when Hobby Lobby is running a 1/2 off glassware sale. I will probably tie a bow which coordinates with my colors around the vases to tie it all together. Good luck!

Hi, I am an Event Planner in Maryland. Another idea is you could use the tall wine glass shaped vase at Wal-mart or Michaels and put food coloring and water in it with a floating candle. At the base of the glass you could have a round mirror and put rose petals on the mirror. I did this for a wedding reception and it looked very nice.

By Lisa (Guest Post)

My daughter is getting married August 30th. We are using tall glass vases with calla lilies. We are using clear crystal marbles in the bottom of the vases up about 1/4 of the way for a filler. You can also put greenery in with the lilies to make it more full or not. That will be the center and around that we are using 5x6 black picture frames with black & white pictures of the bride & groom and white votive candles between the pics. Probably about four of each on each table around the vase. The center vase & votive candles are going to be square. We are also going with silk lilies from Michael's. The florist was too expensive. Micheal's has most of everything you would need & Wal Mart has the rest.

I'm going with the 24" Black Eiffle Tower vase found at www.flowersandsupplies.com/ they ship to Canada (ask them to ship USPS as it's cheaper brokerage fees only $11 to Ontario for large box with 7 vases).

The Calla Lilies are real in this and the last 2 pics. They cost I think $5-7 each but they are so nice in person you only need one... it doesn't show well in the pictures I took.

If anyone views this posting after August 2... I can e-mail actually pictures from the wedding laurelkateh@hotmail.com

hi there, I found a great seller of affordable artificial calla lilies. This centerpiece can be picked up for 21.50 to 23.00 and it's ready for a tall vase. They are soft latex calla lilies so they look and feel real! She dose custom orders too and you won't believe how affordable. I got an entire 16 pc calla lily set complete with a 20 calla lily bridal bouquet for 240.00. Her contact is 845-557-0934 and she ships anywhere.

I purchased silk calla Lilies at Michaels for 50% off. I'm helping my son and his fiancee with their wedding and they too are on a small budget-saving for a house. I bought glass canisters (approx 14" high) at Hobby Lobby for 50% off. They ended up being about 4.00 each. We have to decorate 25 tables. I did a little test on the Calla Lillies I bought at Michaels. They are more like latex than silk. I made the arrangement and put water in the canister vase and placed the arrangement in the water. They look like a fresh flower arrangement and the flowers were not damaged in any way. My future daughter-in-law loved it!

Purchased single stems from a site called afloral.com and purchased vases from burlington coat factory for 9.99.

By michelle (Guest Post)

Go to Afloral.com. They sell silk callas at a very affordable price and the more you purchase the less you pay.

By kesha (Guest Post)

I guess everyone is doing calla lilies including myself. I found a great website. http://www.save-on-crafts.com/whitivcreamf.html
They have everything. including already made bouquets with calla lilies in them.

Hey I am getting married in june 2008 and my theme is also calla lillies. I found long stem calla lillies at michaels for 50% off. I am having each girl carry a single one and my maid and matron cary three bundled together with maybe some baby breath. I am using miniture candies with personalized wrappers that i bought from ebay, calla lilly candles also ebay and a bunch of other things from ebay. i understand because we too are young and definatly on a budget. if you could give me your email i could probably give you more ideas. dont stress, it is possible to have a beautiful wedding that looks expensive for really cheap, ebay has helped a ton, i even purchased my dress from there.

By helene (Guest Post)

Oh my gosh, I am getting married August 16, 2008 in NJ also. Calla lilies are going to be my theme so help me with any info you find. My fiance and I are young and would want a simple but not cheap wedding like yours.

By jessica crabtree (Guest Post)

I am also doing this and I just bought fake callas from jo-ann fabrics for .99! They look real and if you don't have the money, they are great! I just cant find the right filler for mine yet! Thinking about tall grass. but dollar tree had some really cute vases and gravel. I am young too with 2 kids getting married in May and trying to get a house so I know the feeling! My centerpieces only cost $5 a piece, and I only needed 12!

I am having a reception in April using calla lilies as my centerpiece in tall Eiffel tower vases. You can buy each item for not too much. I have enough for 12 tables and would consider selling them after April, if you are interested

Yes. Go to the dollar store or garden ridge and get the tallest but skinny vases (1 for each table). Then go to a flower warehouse for the silk cala lillies(but you can have real ones from Sam's club floral,also for about the same cost). Then,put them on a round mirror (rent at Grand Rental & tea lites 4 or 5 per table). Fill the vase with clear water, leavingthe top 1/2 or 1/3rd empty. Using a pringle can lid or whatever will fit into the vase, cut or punch 5 or 7 holes and feed the stems through. If they are live, they'll need to just touch the water an inch or so and you can vary the lenght that you cut each stem. You can also use wispy filler in green or baby's breath to come over the sides and then put 3 or 5 tall branches that are from a willow tree or a wispy tree. Always use odd numbers in your arrangements. My daughter bought tall glass vases and filled them with green apples and others with cut limes b/c green was one of her colors. Very lovely and inexpensive.

Idea:
24" Black Eiffle Tower Vase (Floral Wholesale & Supplies store in San Diego) with 2 cala lilies (fake from IKEA) and two real greenery stems.

By AM (Guest Post)

I am getting married Aug 9, 08 also and I have been trying to find calla centerpieces. I lucked up though and found a wedding planner that also specializes in silk flower arrangements and I did not know silk flowers were so real looking! I am all for the Faux Flowers! They are easier, I can see what they look like NOW and make ANY changes I want!

By duckthecat (Guest Post)

go to http://www.afloral.com I am getting married in April of 09, I have just ordered samples of their different callas. The price is unbeatable for good calla, they are hard to get fake callas to look real. Also, if money is an issue depending on where you are having the reception, ask if they would like to buy your wedding decorations to defer some of the cost of renting the hall.

I am doing a calla lilies themed wedding... I'll have my "sample" centerpieces when my vases arrive in the next couple weeks.. email me at laurelkateh AT hotmail.com and remind me to post pictures to this site... iIll be able to send you my design using Ikea and Loblaws items... the centerpieces will be approx $10 per table and extremely elegant yet dramatic if they turn out the way I plan...

By Laura (Guest Post)

They have cala lilies at ikea for $1.99 each - put 3 or 6 if they fit, in a large tall vase (such as 24" tall black eiffle tower vase $6.75 that ships US and Canada). Buy some of that long floral grass and for $10 you have a dramatic centerpiece that you can also give away to guests. On either side I found at loblaws shiny black chunky candle pedestals (ikea or loblaws) that a 3x3x3 round candle sits on. put one on either side of the vase for a extremely dramatic look. All together it's costing about $30 per table but I only have 6 tables and 96 guests (i'm grouping 3 square tables together that will sit 16 people each)... the 3 tables are in white and I'm running a black table cloth down the center (1 ft thick) as a runner... and using square plates... and picture frames for "table numbers" from ikea that are plain and painted white or black. It's an outdoor tent wedding with the white/black/green theme.

I just picked cala lilies for my wedding and I am feeling very over whelmed. I was thinking of buying whole sale from sam's. My sister wants to do silk I don't want to. I agree with not spending tons of money.

check out hobby lobby, too, there is always a half price sale.

i would buy your flowers and go to the dollar stores there are nice clear glass vases in all sizes add some of those glass rocks for vases and fish aquariums get the irridescent shiny ones and fill a lil bit in bottom elegant they also have candles and mirrored glasss candle plates there simply elegant on the cheap also look for baskets there the flower girls can carry they have ribbons and wedding bubbles they have alot of wedding favors there and with all the spring colors coming out all that soft colores stuff should be a cinch to get you can also do a spoonful of kisses from the new mr.and mrs. get the plastic spoons there some netting and ribbon and print your own labels for on the spoons all simple really cheap ideas!!!!

By Bev (Guest Post)

Use paper or plastic bowls that that pick up the main color of the wedding theme. Get silk broad leaves and circle them around the bottom edge of the bowl in oasis or saharah. Dried moss covers the oasis. Three calla lillies distanced slightly and high. Tall baby's breath and freesia all in white. Delicate and lovely!
