Let the Calla lilies rest out of water for about 30 minutes to slightly dehydrate. Gently message the stem to curve
I like to follow the flower's natural curve but you can also curve only sections to create an elegant crescent or a curve at the tip of the stem. Place the stem back into water and condition as normal. The stem will become firm but the curve will remain.
