Expert Tips For Magical 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.

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 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.

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 go in first. They help to form a solid base on which your flowers will be organized. This is the natural or universal approach to arrangement. Handle stems with care to protect them from crushing. Do not use wilted flowers when arranging a vase because they will be visible and affect your entire organization.

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.
