Handmade white artificial calla lily wedding buttonhole

Description

A single white calla lily for a wedding lapel

The clean shape of a white calla lily gives this Petals Polly buttonhole a quiet, elegant appearance. The artificial flower is framed by green leaves and finished with a wrapped stem, keeping the outline slender rather than building it into a broad cluster. A decorative diamante-style fixing pin is supplied to complete the wedding accessory.

One buttonhole is included. It is handmade in the UK using a foam calla lily, with the smooth material helping to reproduce the flower's sculpted form. This is a particularly appealing direction if you prefer a simple floral line to the many petals of a rose or the mixed textures of a larger corsage.

A flower that works with a pared-back outfit

White and green can sit comfortably against navy, charcoal, black or lighter suits. The calla lily's narrow shape follows the line of a lapel, making it a useful choice when you want the flower to look considered without taking up much visual space. It can also echo a calla lily bridal bouquet or complement a mixed white arrangement.

Try the flower with the tie and pocket square before the day. A plain or lightly textured fabric will let the calla shape remain clear, while a strongly patterned accessory may need a little more space around it. There is no need to match every floral detail across the wedding party for the buttonhole to feel connected.

Fix it while the jacket is being worn

Use the supplied pin to attach the wrapped stem securely, with help from someone who can check the position from the front. The white flower should face outwards and the leaves should remain visible around its base. Make sure the pin point is safely covered and that the buttonhole does not twist when the wearer moves.

Customers have praised the attractive appearance and the realistic feel of the foam flower. That smooth texture is part of what makes an artificial calla lily different from a fabric rose: the shape is simple, so the curve and surface of the petal carry much of the effect. Check the flower and fixing when it arrives, leaving time to organise any wedding accessories before the ceremony.

A small keepsake that needs little preparation

The finished stem means there is no need to gather loose flowers or add a separate holder. Gently open the leaves if they have settled against the bloom during delivery, then keep the buttonhole in a small protective box until needed. It requires no water while the wedding party gets ready. After wearing, remove the pin carefully and store it with the flower, keeping the white surface clean and free from pressure so the calla lily retains its distinctive shape.
