Expert Tips For Perfect Dahlia Flower Arrangments

By Karen McDonald


Dahlia is a beautiful species but this beauty can be lost because of how it is arranged. Combining it with other flowers also affects its beauty. Perfect dahlia flower arrangments can only be achieved step by step. Here are secrets by experts on how to have a magical arrangement for the species and other flowers.

Pick the perfect bloom. It will be determined by color, extent to which it has bloomed and the shade, among other aspects. The colors should be both contrasting and complementing. Since the flowers are at the center of the entire arrangement, they have to standout and become the anchor of beauty.

Choose elements that will enhance the texture of your flowers. A single species cannot be any beautiful, even when planted on an entire acre. Mixing with other flowers adds the aspect of beauty. Some of the flowers you can use for this purpose include lisuanthus, poms, ferns and eucalyptus. Choose flowers with scents that compliment.

Collect all the tools and equipment you will require to prepare your arrangement. The main requirements include a table to hold your flowers, scissors and a floral tap. The scissors can be replaced with a paring knife because you might not get the special scissors for flowers or you could be having a one-off project. Some of these tools can be improvised because it is the function they are performing that is necessary. You will need a table that cannot be damaged by water.

Choose the right container for the work. A good vase is determined by its height, weight, design, and color. Pay attention to the volume of flowers it can accommodate. The vase should provide necessary support to your floral design. It must have adequate depth that protects your stalks from protruding. The color and design of your vase must not overshadow your flowers. It should complement the vase and make the entire arrangement beautiful.

Process the flowers before arranging them onto a vase. Processing involves unpacking the stems and ensuring that the vase is ready. The water used should be at room temperature. Do not use water that is too hot or too cold because it shocks flowers. The edges of your stems are cut to enable the flowers to take in water easily. This will keep your blooms hydrated and vibrant.

Set up a grid on your vase. This defines which flower type will go where. The grid also affect the shape of the entire arrangement. Long and large flowers go in first because they will anchor others to determine the ultimate design. Special wires or a special sponge are also used to define the shape of a floral arrangement.

The greens come at the bottom because they will be a foundation. This is the natural arrangement in the garden and is therefore followed even on a vase. Handle your blooms with care to protect them from crushing. Remove all the wilted blooms and add water to your vase.

The beauty of flowers is maintained through regular care. You will have to mist the arrangement on regular basis and also change the water. Some arrangements make it difficult to change your water without dismantling. Run the tap on the vase until all the water is replaced. Prepare an arrangement that will be impressive from all angles.
