The bride and groom are big Hearts fans so opted for maroon calla lilies as their focal flower. The burgundy calla lily available via the Dutch flower auction was a variety called Odessa. I used it with white Akito rose, blue thistle, purple eustoma and hard ruscus. The shower bouquet and two bridesmaids' bouquets were constructed in foam, using Oasis foam bouquet holders. Calla lilies are difficult to arrange in a mixed hand-tie design due to their shape and size, so you get much better results using a foam base. The callas were support wired for added security.
The bride was really pleased with the flowers and went on to say that she could not fault a thing about their special day. Her glowing review of the food has made me want to visit the Braid Hills Hotel for a meal!
