To Have and to Hold

We highlight four different floras—garden roses, dahlias, calla lilies, and tulips—and show how they can steal the show, but still play well with others.

Fleur de Lis Florist: pink and peach David Austin garden roses, green Weber tulips, eggplant mini calla lilies, dahlias, and seeded eucalyptus.

“Garden roses have been gaining popularity. Their beautiful fragrance and soft, full look make them stand out from traditional roses.Try to be flexible with colors you’re willing to use, and be prepared to spend a little more on your bouquet.”

“Calla lilies are wonderful flowers to use in bouquets. They are very elegant and come in an array of colors.They look great alone and mixed with other flowers. Callas will add a sense of elegance and style.”
