DAHLIAS

With about 20,000 varieties of Dahlias, brides will have many choices of sizes and colors to include in their bouquets.   The Florally Journal  states, “When floriography (the language of flowers) was all the rage in the Victorian Era, dahlias were given as symbols of devotion, love, beauty, and dignity.
