Calla Lilies in Fishbowl Vases for an Italian September Wedding

Fishbowl callas + tealight, Italy heat, UK-based bride. Pro guidance:

Mechanics

• No water in bowl (candle). Callas placed dry.
• Stems are trainable—hand-curve to bowl shape.
• Mist heavily with water; keep refrigerated until placement.
• Crowning Glory sealant on petals extends life.

Heat Strategy

• Florist keeps cool until minutes before.
• Callas' leathery petals resist wilting better than roses.
• Don't crease flowers—bruises show fast.

If self-designing, practice curve + mist protocol. Transport in coolers. High risk without pro cold chain.
