Callas for spring

Calla lilies possess a particular type of elegance at first sight that is very appealing for springtime flower arrangements, catching the attention of many flower lovers who love a more subtle and delicate look to their bouquets or floral arrangements. With the arrival of the perfect season for many around the world, callas are giving spring vibes and if your house needs a spring makeover using flowers as decoration, you're in the right place.

Spring Is in the Air and So Are Calla Arrangements

There is actually a science behind spring happiness. An increase in exposure to sunlight can produce an increase in feelings of positivity on two counts: our bodies’ natural and chemical reactions to getting more vitamin D and the consequences of getting to spend more time outside. But do you know what else can boost your happiness in a matter of seconds? Needless to say... Flowers, of course!

According to behavioral research conducted at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, nature provides us with a simple way to improve emotional health – flowers. The presence of flowers triggers happy emotions, heightens feelings of life satisfaction, and affects social behavior in a positive manner far beyond what is normally believed. So now that you're fully aware that flowers are a necessity to live a happier, more joyful, and colorful life, it's time to get yourself some spring callas.

The word 'calla', meaning 'beautiful' in Greek, certainly speaks to the sheer beauty of the calla lily, botanically known as 'Zantedeschia'. Simply Calla shares that one of the standout features of calla lilies is their sleek, elongated stems, which lend themselves well to contemporary and minimalist arrangements, boasting their colors and intertwined petals for a more cheerful spring season.

Calla lilies possess several characteristics that make them particularly well-suited for spring arrangements and bouquets. It is no surprise they are a popular choice for spring arrangements and bouquets due to their unique trumpet-shaped blooms, which convey an air of elegance for any occasion. Whether you're gifting a calla arrangement to your partner, your best friend, your mom, or even to yourself, calla lilies do the job perfectly when it comes to delicacy and elegance.

Their presence in bouquets and arrangements can serve as a metaphorical representation of the fresh start that spring brings, making them a meaningful choice for celebratory occasions during this time of year, such as weddings, graduations, and other important festivities.
