How to Re-Create Dior's Oversized Bloom Runway Moment at Home

Dior’s Spring/Summer 2026 haute couture show was a spectacle to be seen, that’s for sure. Models walked the runway wearing oversized sculptural floral accessories, which sounds tame, but it was the exact opposite. We’re talking blooms on their feet, flowers the size of dinner plates adorning their ears, and a commitment to the floral aesthetic that can only be described as “more is more, and even more after that.”

My first thought was that I absolutely need to have that energy in my house, but I have absolutely no idea where to start. Translating runway drama to real life always feels like it needs an IKEA detailed instruction manual. But I’ve asked some experts to give me all the tips on getting this look, so you don’t need to hire a team of stylists to get it. And, even better, you can do it on a budget.

Here’s how to create your own Dior-inspired oversized flower look at home, minus the ridiculous price tag and the need to wear flowers on your feet. Of course, if that’s your thing, no judgment from me.

Get the Look

Start with One or Two Statement Blooms

The most important part of this look is the scale, which means choosing flowers that are unapologetically large. We’re not talking your standard grocery store roses here; we’re talking dinner plate dahlias, king proteas, oversized peonies, or jumbo garden roses that look like they’ve been hitting the gym.

Lead floral designer at Regina Gust Designs, Walker Chancey, told me, “The most common mistake is designing around the bloom before it's at its peak. Large statement flowers need room to fully open and show their beauty. If you don't allow space for them to expand, they never get to reach their full potential."

Pro tip: Buy your statement flowers when they’re still partially closed so they have space in the arrangement to do their thing. A peony that’s a tight green ball today will be a massive, ruffled showstopper tomorrow. Patience is all part of the process.

If you aren’t able to find fresh oversized flowers or they’re wildly out of your budget range, a high-quality faux flower goes a long way. If you go this route, look for ones with realistic textures and color variations, which will make them look real from a few feet away. These cream colored faux peonies from Nearly Natural at Target are the perfect size and come in a set of 6.

Pair with Modern, Smaller Flowers

Once you’ve found your statement flower, supporting flowers matter just as much. This is where a lot of arrangements go wrong, Chancey tells me. He says, "For me, it's all about balance – and balance doesn't mean 50/50, it's about visual harmony. Supporting flowers should elevate the focal bloom, not compete with it."

Choose smaller, more delicate flowers to create some contrast without stealing the focus from your statement bloom. For example, if your statement flower is a massive light pink peony, pair it with white ranunculus, sprigs of waxflower, or spray roses. If you’ve chosen a dramatic dark dahlia, lighten things up with some Queen Anne’s lace, small white cosmos, or even some eucalyptus stems for a bit of added texture.

Master Color Coordination

Color can really make or break this look. Too matchy-matchy will end up feeling stiff and formal like a hotel lobby arrangement from 1987. However, too random will look like you just grabbed whatever was on sale that day.

Chancey advises me on the approach that really works: "I'll take cues from the space around me, and if a room has a dominant color and a secondary tone, I'll lean into the secondary color in the arrangement and use the primary as an accent, he advises. “That creates depth and prevents the design from feeling too heavy or predictable."

Here are some color combinations inspired by the Dior runway:

• Blush pink + cream + soft peach with dark green foliage
• Deep burgundy + dusty mauve + white
• Coral + pale yellow + ivory
• Soft lavender + cream + sage green

Pick one palette and commit to it fully. Half-hearted color coordination will read as indecisive, rather than artistic.

Invest in the Right Container

Chancey tells me if there’s one place you should invest, “Invest in the vessel,” he says. "The vase or container is the foundation – it frames the entire moment. A strong, beautiful base instantly elevates even a simple arrangement."

For an oversized flower arrangement, you’ll want to use something with real weight and presence. A large ceramic vase in a matte finish, a vintage glass vase with an interesting texture, or even a modern sculptural piece with a neutral tone. Avoid anything too delicate or precious. Your vessel should be able to hold its own alongside large flowers, not disappear beneath them. This tall, beaded ivory vase from Target is perfect and would go great with a statement peony.

Pro tip: The vessel should be roughly ⅓ to ½ the height of your final arrangement.

Use Negative Space Strategically

This might be the hardest part for people to embrace, but it's crucial: you don't need to fill every inch of your arrangement with flowers. In fact, you shouldn't.

"You don't need a massive amount of flowers to create impact," Chancey points out. "Negative space is powerful. For example, incorporating a dramatic branch can give you height and movement without requiring a full, heavy arrangement. It creates scale and presence while keeping costs down."

Pro tip: Add a few interesting branches like curly willow, manzanita, or even blooming cherry or dogwood branches in spring.

Balance Sculptural Florals with Everyday Items

Chancey advises, "Don't overlook what's around you – fabric, textured materials, or unexpected elements can help carry color and create a layered, couture-inspired feel without adding more blooms.”

Some examples could be a linen runner that picks up one of the floral colors. Or, add a stack of coffee table books nearby with covers that complement your palette. Perhaps position a sculptural object like a ceramic piece, an interesting stone, or even a beautiful fruit bowl. This ceramic fruit bowl from Amazon is a gorgeous blue shade and would look lovely with a creamy white statement rose.

At the end of the day, creating a Dior-inspired flower arrangement in your home isn’t about impressing anyone or keeping up with design trends. It’s about giving yourself permission to bring more joy to your everyday surroundings.

The effort it takes to choose your statement flower, find the right vessel, and arrange everything to look just so is meditative, creative, and a way of saying your home deserves something special. That’s pretty couture, if you ask me.
