A dahlia bouquet should be all about beautiful colours, shapes and live. Therefore you obviously want your dahlias to be at their best. With vibrant colours, fully bloomed flowers and firm petals. Dahlias are usually peaking durng the (late) summer months, between August and October. That’s the right time to start decorating your dahlia bouquets!
Dahlias come in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and colours. So try to combine different types so that you can create different textures, dephts and effects. For example, try to mix ball dahlias with peony dahlias. You can also mix different coloured dahlias. Pink and white go great together for example, espacially when you are looking for wedding bouquets. And yellow and red create amazing summer fibes. Off course, you can also go nuts with all kinds of colours!
