“ If you’re interested in how best to arrange your flowers and what type of vase to use, Becasa already created this simple guide for you.“
There’s no doubt that a bouquet of fresh flowers can really boost your mood and lift the freshness and ambiance of a room. If you’re interested in how best to arrange your flowers and what type of vase to use, we already created this simple guide for you.
Bud Vase
Ideally, when choosing a vase for your flower arrangement, the best idea is that the flowers be one and a half times the height of your vase.
- Choose a bud vase for short-stemmed flowers, or flowers with smaller blooms.
- Don’t overcrowd the vase, small and simple arrangements with one or two flowers are best suited for bud vases.
- Add interest and texture to your bud vase arrangement with branches and foliage.
Bulb Vase
Bulb vases have a unique bulbous bowl and narrow, tapered neck, ideal for growing bulbs, but are also a versatile vessel for different kinds of flowers.
- Hyacinth and Crocus bulbs can be force-grown in a bulb vase.
- Daffodils and Asteraceae can create a beautiful and delicate spring bouquet, ideally shaped for a bulb vase.
- Fresh flowers are best. Find a local grower for the freshest seasonal flowers that will look amazing and last much longer.
Column Vase
A column vase is ideal for showcasing a single type of flower, or for mixing and matching a palette of your favourite colors.
- Choose long-stemmed flowers to make the most of the height of a column vase.
- Mix smaller blooming flowers amongst large blooms for interesting depth.
- Column vases are perfect for creating large floral centrepieces for your table.
Round Vase
Round vases are perfect for creating a 360° display of blooming flowers, showcasing the very best of large blooms.
- Arrange roses in a circular pattern in a round vase. Once fully opened, they’ll create a globe of blooming color.
- Long branches, greenery, and foliage can add interesting texture to a bouquet in a round vase.
- Don’t forget to cut the flower stems so that they are one and a half times the height of the vase.
Tall Vase
Tall vases are the perfect shape for making a no-fuss flower arrangement with minimal effort.
- Choose a few of your favorite flowers and showcase them in a tall vase for a simple and organic look.
- Cut at least an inch off the stems at a 45-degree angle as soon as you can. This gets the water flowing into the stem again and keeps the flowers fresh.
- Trim any greenery off the flower stems that will be below the water line in the vase, and don’t forget to change the water in the vase every 2-3 days.
