But, without even adhering to the views about the negative symbolism of this beautiful flower, do not forget about one important nuance. Callas, like a beautiful witch, are seductive and dangerous. The second name of this flower is Butterflyfly.
The juice of this plant can cause severe poisoning. Therefore, it is recommended to put vases and pots with these flowers away from children and pets in the house, and use protective gloves when leaving.
In the halo of legends of love
A flower with a cemetery halo is a definition obtained by callas in the Christian tradition. If you plunge deep into the ages and hear old traditions, you can find out that he is more connected with love and passionate feelings to the grave.
According to one of the legends, the gods turned this girl into a beautiful flower, who rushed into the fire, not wanting to become the wife of a cruel leader. Since then, she has protected all those who intend to unite in marriage. That is why callas are still considered a symbol of love and a talisman of family happiness. In this regard, they are often included in the bride’s wedding bouquet.
Another, even more romantic legend says that a mortal young man fell in love with a beauty - the daughter of the gods. Wanting to destroy this relationship, the father turned the rebellious daughter into invisibility. But the guy weaved a cloak for the sweetheart from the plants. The gods took pity on the lovers and returned the girl to her appearance. And the cape fell to the ground, becoming snow-white petals-bedspreads of calla lilies. Therefore, it is believed that they protect female happiness.
In art, the Mexican painter Diego Rivera gave an ode to these colors. It was with the callas that he liked to compare women, seeing them as slender and charming. Portraying portraits of beautiful Mexican girls, he invariably paid tribute to his floral sympathy, painting them with huge armfuls of callas.
Flower Arrangements
Despite the fact that calla is considered by many to be a flower of sorrow, it is widely used in bouquets, including wedding ones. This is not surprising, because she has incredible charm and aristocratic sophistication. Her petals resemble a royal mantle wrapped around a golden crown inflorescence.
Various colors and good compatibility with other colors allows you to create the most sophisticated compositions, including wedding bouquets.
The appeal of calla lilies is also explained by a subtle pleasant aroma with vanilla notes. Such compositions in vases retain their charm for up to two weeks. Good frost resistance of the flower makes it a good choice for a winter wedding bouquet.
A white calla flower in a bouquet emphasizes the delicate image of the bride. Pink petals in a flower arrangement will create a romantic mood, and yellow and orange will add positive.
Unusual black callas will risk choosing only the most extravagant bride as a wedding bouquet, free from all sorts of prejudices and wanting to surprise and arouse admiration.
Red callas mean passionate love. A bouquet of them looks truly gorgeous. By the way, a tattoo with the image of red callas is especially popular among those women who are not afraid of daring experiments. Such a pattern is considered a symbol of femininity and, according to popular belief, helps to reveal sexual energy.
How to combine and to whom to give
In combination with other flowers in bouquets, callas do not lose their charm and do not overshadow the "competitors". The main thing is to choose the right shades. Callas will look beautiful both in combination with exquisite and luxurious neighbors in a bouquet (roses, hydrangeas, alstromeries), and with simpler ones (lilies of the valley, snowdrops, daisies).
They combine well with more exotic plants - orchids and freesia. With the latter, when combining both types of white flowers, compositions with truly mystical charm are obtained. The top of sophistication is a bouquet that combines red and dark burgundy shades of calla lilies, peonies and spray roses.
It should be borne in mind that a bouquet of callas as a wedding does not combine with a magnificent dress of the bride. These are strict flowers, so the outfit should be appropriate, emphasizing the aristocratic look.
