Everbloom Paper Flowers

Dahlia (Dinner Plate w/ Bud)

$275

Dinner plate dahlias stop people in a garden. The name is not a figure of speech — the biggest cultivars open eight to ten inches across, a full head of overlapping petals on a stem that barely seems equal to it. Growers stake them, and they still lean.

This one is built in coral and peach with warmer pink working through the outer petals, each one cut, shaped, and shaded individually before being layered from the outside in toward a small warm gold center. The bud is the detail worth noticing — a second bloom on its own branching stem, still furled inside a green calyx and just showing its color, the way a real dahlia stages its next flower while the first is still open. Individually shaded leaves along the stem, no shortcuts.

A single stem with enough presence to stand alone in a tall vase, and enough color to lift an entire arrangement. It stays this size and this shade indefinitely — no staking, no drooping, and no waiting for late summer.

16 in. tall, 8 in. wide at flower, 1 in. wide at bud

Materials & Making

Every piece is built from premium German and Italian crepe paper — hand-dyed, hand-painted, and shaped petal by petal. Stems are wired throughout, so each piece can be bent, angled, and arranged as you like, and holds its shape once set.

A multi-step protective finish seals the color, adds a subtle luster, and guards against fading and humidity. Because every piece is colored by hand, tones vary slightly from the photograph — no two are identical, and yours will be its own.


Made to Order

Each piece is made by hand after your order is confirmed. Typical preparation times, measured from the date your order is confirmed with Julia: 7–10 days for one to three stems, 10–14 days for four to seven, and 14–21 days for larger commissions. Shipping transit adds approximately 5–7 days. Timelines run longer through the holiday season and the spring wedding months, and your confirmed date will always be stated in writing before you commit.

Working toward a wedding or event date? Include the date in your request and we’ll confirm the full schedule before anything is finalized. Need a piece sooner than the times above? Ask — a compressed timeline can often be arranged.

Prefer a different palette? Most pieces can be made in custom colors — describe what you have in mind, or send a photograph, and Julia will confirm what’s possible with your quote.

Every piece is finished with a tag signed and dated by Julia, nested in tissue, and boxed for safe travel. Preparation & Delivery


Care & Repairs

Though delicate in appearance, each piece is remarkably durable and may be bent and arranged as needed. Keep out of prolonged direct sun and damp environments, and your piece will hold its color and form for decades. Because every piece is made by hand to order, all sales are final. Should a piece ever be damaged, Julia will repair it whenever repair is possible, for the life of the piece — you cover shipping and handling. Guarantee & Repairs
