When you enter a room having been enticed at a distance by a perfumed rose essence, you normally look straight to the blooms' beautifully delicate flower head, taking in the colour, luxury and presentation.
However, do you ever spare a thought for the vase you're using for your bouquet? The vase is more important than most people think as it lays the foundations, control and design for your bouquet.
If you want to really enhance the beauty of your luxury flowers, it's important to make sure you have the right vase for the right flowers. Here are a few tips - what shape suits which flowers, tall, small, square, cylinder? Take a read:
Cylindrical Vase
A cylindrical vase is ideal for a beautiful, plush bouquet that may need some control. A sparse bouquet will show a lot of space but a packed bouquet of shrub-like flowers will look elegantly controlled. For added effect, use a thick glassed cylinder container.
Perfect for hydrangeas and other flowering branches, peonies, sunflowers, or any bloom with a bulky stem.
Bubble Vase
A bubble shaped vase is perfect for blooms that require a good depth for the stem and plenty of space to breath. It often helps if the vase has a tapered opening as it helps rein in unruly flowers whilst keeping the arrangement loose; this is key.
Perfect for sweet peas, poppies and gloriosa.
Square Vase
A square vessel is often used for flowers that are straight in the stem with a heavier flower head. The square shape provides support for the top heavy blooms. Try a square vase in a contrasting colour for an effortlessly modern look.
Perfect for daffodils, amaryllis and hyacinths.
Bud Vase
Bud vases are the perfect combination of cute and stylish. Ideal for flowers with a long steam as it stops them from slacking and falling out! A curvy bud vase with a slender top secures the likes of freesia, scabious and lilies of the valley - without taking anything away from the beautiful flower heads. A bud vase can be used to make any flowers with a thin stem look even more beautiful.
Smaller bud vases are also a great way to split large bouquets into smaller posies, or to display longer lasting flowers after the rest of the bouquet has faded.
Perfect for freesias, lilies, clematis and scabious.
Clear Vase
A beautiful flower head can often boast an equally attractive stem. Thick, long and leafless, stems with a deep green colour can add more beauty to a luxury flowers bouquet, so why not show them off with a transparent vase?
Perfect for flowers with complete beauty spiralling from the stem to the petals.
