Expert Tips For Perfect Dahlia Flower Arrangments

By Karen McDonald


Every flower is beautiful but this beauty might be overshadowed when you put several of them together. They might even fail to decorate your table or occasion as you would desire. There is a secret to creating magical dahlia flower arrangments. Here are some the tips that will make your arrangement magical.

Pick the right flower. Though all flowers are beautiful, the color, level of blooming, shade and such other aspects, make a stem beautiful. Since this bloom will be the vocal point in your organization, it must be perfect. It cannot anchor the beauty of your vase or stand if it is wilted or its stem is broken, among other issues.

Add a bit of texture to your flowers. You would need an entire acre for flowers of a similar color or variety to look beautiful. This is why they are mixed with others to add a little bit of depth and texture. Some of the flowers that will add the depth and augment texture for you include eucalyptus, ferns, poms and lisuanthus. This augmentation also adds a little depth to the scent produced by these flowers.

Collect the tools you need for the work. You require a table where all your flowers, the vases and cutting tools will be placed. The tools you require include a sharp paring knife or scissors, the vase and floral tape. If your flowers have thorns, a rose stem cleaner will come in handy. Choose tools that are easy to use and convenient for you.

Choose a perfect vase for arranging the flowers. Each project requires a unique design, weight, height and color. The size of your vase will affect the number of flowers that can go into the vase. Choose a deep vase that can accommodate the stalks. Decorations on the vase should complement your choice of colors and design.

Flowers require processing before arrangement. Processing means that the stems are unpacked and the vase prepared. Add water at room temperature to the vase. Ensure that the water is not too cold or too hot because it will shock your flowers. Trim the edges of your flowers before placing them onto the vase. This keeps the flowers adequately hydrated.

Create a grid for your vase. This is a map using the major flowers that will define the shape. Use the long flowers and those that will not hinder others from being included. You might use a sponge or wires to support your stalks.

Put the greens at the bottom or before all the other flowers. This is the universal or natural arrangement that can be seen even on a flowerbed. The blooms must be handled carefully to avoid crushing them. Wilted flowers should not form part of your arrangement.

A floral arrangement that lasts must be cared for regularly. This involves changing of water and misting. If the arrangement makes it difficult to drain water without disorganization, run tap water on the bloom until there is full replacement. Look at your arrangement from different angles to have an idea of what visitors will be seeing.
