pink callas

I had a bride today who is getting married july 2010!!! very organised! anyway she asked for pink callas, I have used white before but never pink, any suggestions? think they will look lovely and callas are my favourite flower so that's a bonus, wondered if there were any variety someone could recommend? and if they knew the size they came in?

Think I would be telling her to get a life Between now and 2010 she might change her mind both on flowers and getting married so unless she has given you a non-refundable deposit I would be careful how much time you spend on doing stuff for her. As for the callas it depends on what sort of pink she is looking for there are various ones out there. Get a swatch of material off her so you can compare it when you see some. I would be very wary about giving her a price at this stage too - another couple of years and you could be paying £3 a stem yourself

so right, I have already told her I cannot give her a accurate price yet, she is a friend of a friend so! but she just wanted some ideas on pink callas, she likes the pale pink ones!

Try googling plantscope you will find loads of picures of callas on there in all sorts of colours, don't know if you can print them off or not. Hope it helps.
