Simply Calla has some floral gossip they want to share with the world... This fall, it's all about callas! They are the highlight of the season, making any bouquet uplift anyone's mood as parts of the world transition into a weather change. As temperatures drop, callas are here to give your autumn season more warmth and color with trending burgundy, orange, and yellow tones to brighten up the days.

Autumn Calls for Calla Lilies

Calla lilies are the soul of autumn (and any other season), as they are natural mood-boosters, subtly slipping into bouquets and arrangements with their sleek, elegant form. Imagine this: while the world outside turns crisp and cool, a bouquet of autumn-colored callas brings that missing glow right into your living room, adds a striking balance to a bridal bouquet, and can be used as the perfect fall gift for your loved ones as thousands of birthdays and celebrations take place during these months.

These flowers radiate energy, much like a fireplace. The burgundy tones add a touch of depth, while orange callas represent warmth and excitement. Yellow ones on the other hand symbolize pure joy. It's like packaging up the season in the form of flowers. Simply Calla wants you to feel inspired to have these gorgeous flowers around this season, so, they provide you with a few ideas on how to use bouquets for any celebration/occasion.

Why Callas Are a Trending Flower in Fall

Deep purple or burgundy-blackish callas, with their deep, dramatic color are perfect for adding a sense of real deepness, mystery, elegance, and refinement to any arrangement. They impersonate the rich shades of fall foliage, making them an irresistible piece for autumn bouquets.

Although traditionally orange can be seen all around during this time of the year, it doesn't take the fact away that orange flowers are a boom and you cannot make your way into fall without having a bunch of your favorites. Orange callas, with an essence of being bright and bold, capture the fire and energy of fall sunsets, offering an uplifting pop of color that can energize any bouquet. How would you use them? Simply Calla loves the idea of using them to lighten up a bouquet with lighter tones, or even as a powerful flower for a bridal bouquet.

How Calla Lilies Can Change the Mood

As the leaves fall and the skies become overcast, it’s easy for the mood to shift along with the season. That’s where callas come in. Their beaming and mysterious burgundy shades make one think that while the landscape outside might be cooling, everyone can bring warmth through a bouquet—both visually and emotionally.

So, if you want to transform someone's fall, hand them a bouquet of these fall-colored callas—it’s like giving them a piece of autumn’s beauty to keep close.
