Calla lilies are very versatile and can go with a variety of flowers. Since it's such a "long" petaled flower, I think it's a nice contrast to couple them with more "rounded" flowers. I think roses and hydrageas can give you a lot of versatility as far as color choices. But I also think calla lilies are so elegant that just a bunch of them together is very striking.

Calla lilies are twice the price of Roses, so if cost is a concern you might want to consider that. I love callas, but they're being over used in weddings lately. Almost every wedding show I watch someone is doing the all white calla bouquet, and while it's nice, it's over done and unoriginal. My best friend who is a floral designer said if he has to do one more white calla bouquet he's going to vomit. I'm not a fan of roses. They've been the token flower for weddings for way too long. Why don't you see if there is a local floral distributor in your area so you and your fiance can look at all the options. There are so many amazing flowers that don't get the recognition they deserve. Tulips are overlooked a lot, and they come in some amazing hues. Orchids are about the same cost as callas and way more gorgeous IMO. Don't limit yourselves, and HAVE FUN!

Roses go extremely well with calla lillies. You could put some peach colored roses with white calla lillies. Tulips also go really well with calla lillies. I had all three in my bouquet. I also had lizianthis, which comes in a variety of colors, and you may be able to get the colors you are looking for. Check with your florist, they will be able to help direct you on the best flowers, however, ultimately the decision is yours. Congrats!

My colors were orange and lavender. I had the bronx calla lillies surrounded by all shades of purple flowers as fillers and I also included orchids the red and yellow ones; which really accented the orange color of the calla lillies. But if your calla lillies are going to be white, I would receommend pulling the peach and lavender flowers also into your bouquet. When you visit your Florist she will show you all types of fillers and the colors available. Warning: Do not let your Florist take over, They will try and put their own spin, you have to be firm on your colors.

callas are usually nicest when they are by themselves, you could ask the florist to add some nice green to them, other flowers would usually take away from the callas.
If you arent already aware, callas tend to be quite expensive, this is mostly dependent on where you live, the season, the size of the flower itself and where it was grown.
you can bring in the colours of your wedding in the call itself, they come in a wide variety of colours. You can also request a specific colour for the ribbon going around the stems.

I found a company that has pictures of bouquets with calla lilies and lists the names of the flowers in the bouquet with them. There are two of them in your colors that are absolutely breathtaking!
You can print out a picture off the site and the names of the flowers, then coordinate your ceremony/reception/wedding party flowers to look similar.
Great color choices...I absolutely love them!

The following link is to a color wheel. A color wheel shows an array of colors. The reason its a wheel is becuase the color directly opposing it is the complimentary color. According the color wheel, blues compliments peach/oranges and greens and blue-greens compliment lavender. Perhaps you want to go with some flowers in these families in order to not overwhelm your wedding with peach and lavender. The white calla will look beautiful with green orchids (which I am using in my own wedding), violets, hydrangeas, and irises.
