Gorgeous Decor Ideas With Dahlia Wedding Flowers

 

Sophisticated, bold, with a touch of whimsy, dahlias are one of those unique flowers that works well with just about any wedding style. Admired for their large blooms, intricate petals, and beautiful colors, they are a wonderful feature flower to incorporate in bouquets, centerpieces, and arrangements. There are many types of dahlias – 42 species in all and each different from the next. Our brides especially love using café au lait, cactus, and pompon dahlias to celebrate their big day.

First discovered in Mexico (it’s the country’s national flower) in 1525, the dahlia flower was introduced to Europe around 1787 and rose to cult-like status soon after arrival. In the language of flowers, dahlias represent elegance, dignity, and a commitment that will last forever – qualities every couple wants on hand as they are about to start their married life together.

Looking for ways to use dahlias in wedding décor? From floral accessories to wedding arches to cakes, here are gorgeous ideas for dahlia wedding flowers.

Bouquets

Go for romantic glamour and carry a bouquet of café au lait dahlias and roses in lush shades of white, pink, and peach. Blush and white dahlias paired with roses, stock, sweet pea, lavender sprigs and light greenery radiates natural splendor.
