Fall Dahlias

Three weddings kept bloom very busy last week. Our congrats go out to Laura and Brian at the Emory Conference Center, Millie and John at the Houston Mill House and Lindsay and Ben at Decatur's First United Methodist Chapel and the Trolley Barn.
All were a success and that is thanks to an army of folks who helped - Alvin, the "Carols" (Carol S. and Carol H.), Irene and Jenna. Thanks for working so hard!

Now, if you are a bride that loves dahlias - this is the time of year that they look spectacular! I used them in the weddings this past weekend - beautiful deep burgundy ones, ivory and lavender-edged ones as well as a variety I had never seen before - orange with an ivory tip. Simply gorgeous.

The way their petals curl and touch to make a sort of "honeycomb" effect is nature at its best.
