Dahlia blooms come in a range of beautiful bright colors, from cream to deep dark burgundy to an earthy dark chocolate color. No matter the color, dahlias make beautiful table centerpieces in wooden containers, glass bottles, and mason jars. For a more rustic look, use a metal floral holder.

Dahlias are a favorite flower in hanging bottles for a garden or rustic barn theme or showcase a single dahlia stem paired with baby blue eucalyptus.
Or use darling dahlias with a mixed greenery garland embellished with tall tapered romantic candles on rustic wood tables.
Pairing Darling Dahlias
Would you prefer a ‘just picked bouquet’ style? Create it with a mix of grasses, veronica, and eucalyptus, hand-tied with organic ribbon. You are sure to impress your guests! Coordinate your flowers by adding dahlias to wedding chairs, escort tables, welcome signs, or arbors will make a beautiful impact.
Are you looking for a classic table centerpiece? I love combining white or blue hydrangeas with Dahlias in a glass square or bubble vase. Is your wedding a country garden feel? Pair cream or peach dahlias with garden rose. Add lisianthus, baby blue eucalyptus, and hypericum berries for a bit more rustic.
Dahlias represent symbolic meanings, but the most important is- an everlasting bond. Any way you choose to dazzle your dahlias for your wedding will be beautiful! If you need advice, don’t hesitate to chat, email, or call us!
