Ikebana with Dahlias (Part 1): Balancing a Bold Flower with Texture & Movement

Описание: Dahlias are stunning — but their size and presence can make them difficult to pair with other materials. In this ikebana lesson, I take on the “dahlia challenge” using imperfect garden dahlias, a sculptural bleached palm leaf, and delicate branches to find harmony in contrast.

🌿 In this video you’ll see:
— How to work with dahlias when they feel too dominant
— Pairing strong flowers with unconventional materials for balance
— Exploring round shapes (leaf, vase, flower) while adding line and movement
— A simple approach to creating texture and contrast in white-on-white designs

This arrangement shows how even bold, imperfect dahlias can find their place in ikebana — through careful choices in shape, line, and texture.

💬 Have you ever struggled to pair dahlias with other materials? What’s your favorite way to use them? Let me know in the comments!
