I picked up dahlias and calla lilies at the FlowerMart last week to work on a practice bridal bouquet. I found this bouquet much easier than the bridesmaid bouquets. Less flower types to arrange. Tyee hates calla lilies though so I'm at a loss as to what other flowers would work given the dark purple, red combination that she wants. I'll likely have to work in some other green or true purple buds to break up the contrast if I can't use the calla lilies. And crazily enough I've also offered to make flower balls for the ceremony chairs, this in addition to the 13 centerpieces at the reception.
