Dahlias really are a magnificent flower. Adding colour, and body with their many layers of petals. Their exquisite beauty comes from the daisy family.
Originally from Mexico and parts of south America, the symbolism of the Dahlia can vary depending on the colour.
Some common meanings of the Dahlia flower include:
- Staying graceful under pressure, especially in challenging situations
- Traveling and making a major life change in a positive way
- Standing out from the crowd and following your own unique path
- Staying kind despite being tested by certain life events
- Commitment to another person or a certain ideal
The Victorians used the Dahlia to signify a lasting bond and commitment between two people, so Dahlia’s are absolutely perfect for wedding bouquets, or perhaps an anniversary gift!
