LUST HAVE // DAHLIAS

If you were to ask me my favourite flower i'd be hard pressed to give you an answer. There's just too many god damn beautiful flowers out there... BUT... Dahlias would have to be on the short list and this amazing shoot by floral designer Mikarla Bauer and photographer Amelia Fullarton just proves why these wildly bold blooms deserve to be at the top.

After a few reds on a Friday night the pair got to talking about their love for 'those bloody amazing Dahlias' and thought it would be crazy not to organise spontaneous shoot in the wee hours of the following Monday morning set against a ruggedly beautiful Lennox Head coastline. Red wine really can take claim for some great creative inspiration sometimes, can't it?
