Vintage rustic wedding flowers 01 Apr 2015

For stunning spreads of colour Dahlias are hard to beat. Named after a Swedish botanist, Dr Anders Dahl, they are a part of the daisy family. These gorgeous and unique flowers originated in the mountain ranges of Mexico, Guatemala and Columbia.

Dahlia's look amazing when clustered in a beautiful wedding bouquet or as a standalone bloom to use in centerpieces and mismatched vases as decor.

The natural appearance of these flowers make them the perfect choice for a rustic style wedding. They look stunning when coupled with vintage decor. Dahlia's look incredible on their own or mixed in with other large flowers such as peonies.

Another look that is very fashionable at the moment is to try using a single large Dahlia to decorate your white wedding cake.
