Chilly Callas pairs calla lilies with red and white roses and hypericum for a look that's sleek rather than traditional.
This centerpiece works on a fireplace mantel, a dining table, or an entry console, and makes a thoughtful gift for someone facing a quiet stretch alone. The red and white colors look classic without needing extra shades.
These flowers are hand-arranged fresh in our studio, a practice going back to 1903 at this shop. Orders placed by 2 PM in the recipient's time zone, noon on Sundays, typically go out the same day for delivery, with our trusted network reaching family further away when needed.
We wanted something for the coldest stretch of the year that still felt bright rather than heavy. Calla lilies gave us that with their sleek, curved shape, a different kind of elegant than the usual full, round centerpiece. It's become the design we suggest for anyone who wants something a little more understated this season, without it reading as an afterthought.
This design comes in one size; a few care notes follow below.
What's Included in This Centerpiece: Calla lilies anchor this centerpiece, paired with red and white roses, hypericum berries, and a few pinecones for texture. Together they read as clean and modern rather than the fuller, more traditional look of a wreath-style centerpiece, with deep green foliage filling out the base.
Why Just Red and White: Keeping the palette to two colors lets the calla lilies' shape do the work, reading as sleek rather than heavy with a full evergreen mix, the kind of traditional red pairing people notice right away.
One Size, Built to Fit: Chilly Callas comes in a single Standard size, built to fit comfortably on a side spot, console, or anywhere a smaller centerpiece makes more sense, with price staying simple since there's just one option.
When to Send This Arrangement: A quiet night in, a small gathering, or last minute gifts, all of these suit this design well. Families also send it for Kwanzaa or a simpler kind of holiday celebrations at home, and its single size keeps the decision easy when time is short.
If a Bloom Isn't Available: If calla lilies or hypericum aren't available some week, our team swaps in a comparable bloom, keeping the same two-color palette and the same overall beauty.
Delivery: Local holiday orders typically go out the same day here, and our network still reaches loved ones further out across the country; local pickup at our studio works too if that's easier for you.
Calla lilies work best in a specific proportion to the blooms around them, so we kept this one to a single size rather than scaling it up or down.
Yes, quite a few families choose it for that reason. The red and white palette isn't tied to any single celebration, so it works broadly.
Yes, our designers build other centerpieces and floral arrangements in fuller or taller styles, plus wreaths for the door and pinecone accents, all through the same nationwide delivery.
Many customers set it on a dining table with candy canes, a sprig of holly, or a small flowering plant close by, and string lights round out the display nicely.
