FFF not only offers us gorg headpiece inspiration, but an excellent bit of advice:
Dahlia's (sic) are awesome. Really awesome. They're not only stupid pretty, they withstand the trauma I place on them every time I use them in a crown. I wish I could say I'm more of a gentler handler when it comes to flowers but the truth is I'm a bit rough. More often than not I find myself midway through a project, crowns and bouquets alike, with crushed blossoms scattered around me cursing at myself for not being more careful...

Thank you, Leigh + Bernadette!
My dahlia wedding bouquet was totally fine in 100 degree Arizona heat, and also sustained being tossed around and danced with. Go dahlias.
ReplyDeleteSeriously! Plus they come in a ton of different varieties, and nearly every basic flower color. When I'm a real grown up and finally have a yard again, I hope to have some of those enormous dinner plate dahlias growing up to my shoulders.
ReplyDeleteI love dahlias! Also, they are kind of big and fluffy so you don't need as many for big impact. We just had them at our reception. $50 at Pike Place Market for flowers for all surfaces.
