We will show you 20 colorful flower arrangements in which the dahlia plays the main role and explain how you can make a successful autumn table decoration yourself with dahlias.

Autumnal table decorations with dahlias: splendor of flowers and variety of shapes
Autumn leaves, white dahlias and chrysanthemums form a charming ensembleat the festive table. Of course, you can also arrange other long-stemmed flowers. The medium-high vase with a narrow neck also creates a cool optical trick: it makes even smaller flower arrangements appear voluminous and enhances the autumnal table decorations. To make the arrangement last longer, first let the fall leaves dry at room temperature for 1-2 days.
It's not just the beautiful dahlias with orange-white flowers that are native to America. The Chinese lantern flower, which was originally widespread in southern Europe and Asia, is currently being cultivated in North America. Maybe that's why the fiery red ensemble looks so appealing. The yellow dill flowers give it an additional kick of freshness. The wide white vase recedes discreetly into the background and leaves the flowersher big entrancedo at the festive table.
Fire red floral arrangement with roses and ranunculus
In the next flower arrangement, dahlias, roses and ranunculus are suitable decorative partners. The light blue vase lets the ensemble come to the fore. Tone-on-tone with the vase are the sky blue runner and the stylish plates with blue edges. If you have a long rectangular table, you can also arrange rose hips and moss in the middle of the table.
Small but beautiful: bouquet of dahlias and chrysanthemums
Loose flowers or small flower arrangements made up of 2-3 flowers look good in small vases. Don't have a small vase? Color jam jars with acrylic paint and arrange a double dahlia, a chrysanthemum and dark rose hips there. The flower divas go well with fresh binding greens such as salal. Choose flowers from the same color family, but let the pink dahlia take center stage in the arrangement.
Autumnal table decorations with dahlias in a pumpkin vase
Pumpkins are one of the most popular elements of an autumn table decoration. With a little skill they can be transformed into a vase. All you need is a glass that fits the pumpkin, a sharp knife and a spoon. First cut a hole in the pumpkin and then take out the seeds and pulp. Then place the glass in the pumpkin and fill it with water. Now you can arrange short-stemmed flowers in the vase. White hydrangeas harmonize very well with the purist-looking pumpkin. Green mini rose hips of the multi-flowered rose and bind green add a fresh touch to the ensemble. The pink dahlia in the middle definitely steals the show and gives the floral arrangement the necessary splash of color. You can place the vase on a coaster cut from a tree trunk and decorate it as desired with moss or succulents.
Flowers on the garden table
The bright colors of the next bouquet of flowers will make the festive table shine. Orange, purple, pink and grass green harmonize perfectly with each other and create a happy atmosphere. With such a magnificent floral arrangement, the table decoration should be kept simple. White mini pumpkins and white candles in a lantern form the perfect background for the autumn floral decoration. Two white porcelain teapots add a vintage touch to the arrangement.
The beautiful flower as a soloist
The dahlias like to play the leading role and cut a good figure as the star in the ensemble. But they can also be effectively staged as soloists. For the next decoration idea you need 6 or 7 dahlias in different colors, as well as 6 or 7 mini pumpkins. The large-format flowers also look just as beautiful in jam jars or small vases.
Gold accents
Are you planning a family celebration for Thanksgiving? Just the right occasion for a stylish autumn decoration in black and red with gold accents. The slightly shimmering table runner provides the perfect background for pomegranates, table grapes and figs. Wine-red dahlias add the finishing touch to the table decoration. In addition, you can cut out autumn leaves from paper and then paint them with gold paint. Tuck the autumn leaves between the fruits or place them on the plates as place cards.
Effective table decoration for Halloween
Black dahlias, mini rose hips and purple artichokes create a delightful arrangement. Brown hazelnut leaves, millet and red ornamental grasses can be hung over the edge of the rattan basket and, together with the dahlias, create a stylish ensemble.
Autumnal ensemble with tree branches
Even small flower arrangements can make a big impact. This is ensured by several tree branches that are strategically positioned on several sides. Flowers in bright orange and pink create a pop effect. The rose hips of the cinnamon rose close gaps and make the autumn bouquet appear taller.
This means the cut flowers last longer
Cut flowers need good care so that they last longer. Cut the stems of the dahlias diagonally and place the flowers in an opaque vase. Remove the lower foliage to prevent the leaves from falling into the water later. Change the flower water every two days and place the bouquet in a shady location.
