02 / DESIGN WITH INTENTION

Ways to use kelsey sunshine dahlia
in wedding flowers.

These are design starting points. Test your sample with the actual cut material, venue conditions, and mechanics.

01

Bridal bouquets

Place small details near the outside or surface of the bouquet. Avoid burying them inside larger heads where their cost and texture will be hard to see.

02

Boutonnieres and small pieces

Test the exact support and attachment method. Count usable flowers, purchased stems, and assembly time separately.

03

Petite table vessels

Keep the vase and neighboring ingredients small enough for the fine flowers to register. Group vessels when a single stem needs a quieter backdrop.
