September is in full swing, and if you’re like me, you’re excited about the beautiful dahlias gracing your garden. After a short break in Salcombe, Devon, I’m back in the studio, surrounded by vibrant blooms. Despite some initial challenges with slugs, my dahlias are flourishing, and I’m thrilled to share this arranging tutorial with you. In this latest video I share with you how to arrange dahlias from the comfort of your own home.
Having gone through a brief hiatus in flower fashion, dahlias are back with a bang and are arguably the quintessential flower for September. Their vibrant colours and diverse shapes make them a perfect choice for bridging the gap between summer and autumn. Relatively easy to grow, dahlias have a long flowering season and thrive on regular cutting, which makes them the perfect plant to enjoy their beauty both in the garden and indoors.
I’ve just released a new flower arranging video where I guide you through creating a simple yet stunning dahlia arrangement. Using just a flower frog and a low bowl (think cereal bowl, soup tureen, or even a glass rose bowl), I'll show you how to arrange your dahlias step-by-step. This tutorial is ideal for both beginners and seasoned flower enthusiasts and uses reusable mechanics that are perfect for any season or flower type. I love teaching floristry techniques that you can easily apply at home, with inspiration drawn from the beauty of each season.
Creating flower arrangements at home is both a delightful and rewarding experience, but if you’re eager to elevate your skills, attending a professional floristry class could be the perfect next step.
