Calla Lilies meaning is pure beauty; white, perfect and simply, this flower is a perfect theme and background to any wedding ceremony.Many photographs can be scanned into a home computer and used as the background to a program, or serve as the front page of a multi-paged program.If a live calla lily isn't available, simply photograph and scan a silk flower; slightly faded with wording over the background - no one will know.Utilize the internet as well, as many photographs can be downloaded free of charge.
For the crafter in the family, calla lilies formed from paper can be made and attached to the program for that extra special touch.Best results come from a program background of dark green with white lilies glued to the front.Simply start with a white square of paper (3" x 3"), with scissors slightly round two edges - these will be the top edges of the lily.Wrap the UN-rounded edges towards each other until they slightly overlap in the center, glue in place.Cut a length of yellow pipe cleaner (about an inch) and glue in place from the center of the "lily."Attach to the program as a single lily or as a bouquet.
Cascading ribbon from each lily will compliment the program should it look too plain.
Don't be afraid to get creative; add a real lily to each program or punch two holes in the program, run a ribbon through the holes and attach a calla lily bulb to the program for each guest; once planted and blossoms arrive, your wedding will never be forgotten.
