Expert Tips For Magical 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.

Select a perfect flower. It is this flower that will anchor all the other elements that will be added into the arrangement. It should therefore be of perfect bloom level, color, shade and even size. Keep away from flowers that have wilted because they take away the shine off an arrangement.

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.

Develop a guiding grid for your vase. It determines which flowers go into the vase and how they are arranged. It will also affect the ultimate shape of the arrangement. Use a sponge or special floral wires to define the shape of your prepared arrangement.

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.
