Dahlia Symbolism
The internet tells me that in the Victorian era, dahlia flowers symbolized a lasting bond and lifelong commitment between two people. This symbolism helps to explain why dahlias are such a popular wedding flower.
Dahlias = Life
Dahlias are more than just a lovely wedding flower. Want to learn the meaning of life? Look no further than the awe-inspiring beauty of the dahlia. A deep dive into its symbolism is quite revealing.
The internet tells me that dahlias also symbolize:
Elegance
Noun. 1) the quality of being graceful and stylish in appearance or manner; style 2) the quality of being pleasingly ingenious and simple; neatness
Inner Strength
Some refer to inner strength as the strength of the soul. Build your inner strength through self-discovery and self-growth. I find growing dahlias to be an excellent activity for these endeavors. Time spent with Mother Nature while nurturing and growing dahlias will allow you the space to contemplate your values, dreams, goals, and allow you explore healthy boundaries.
