Some people prefer fresh flowers to artificial ones, and others artificial flowers ones to fresh ones, but one thing is certain: stylish vases are always required to display them in the best possible way. These days decorative vases come in a vast array of colours, shapes and sizes, so how do you go about finding the right one? This time, rather than choosing an everyday factory made vase, opt for a handmade vessel with a story – a story which will not only enhance your love of the piece but also your link to the maker of the work. Beautiful flowers definitely deserve beautiful vases!
To make the most out of any floral arrangement, consider what exactly you plan on displaying before you invest in the perfect vase. Tall flowers can look out of place in a short vase, and full-bloom flowers often look disproportionate in slim vases. It is always best to start simple. If you can\’t decide which shape and size you like best, begin with a simple, yet stylish, bud vase or bottle vase. Designed to hold a single flower such as a rose, tulip or gerbera, they most often come in the shape of a narrow cylinder. Bud vases are commonly used as wedding vases. On the other hand, for larger and more elaborate flower arrangements, which tend to be heavier, you will want to look for vases which are tall and thick enough to support them. Large chunky pottery or ceramics are a good option, as well as solid glass vessels.
Make the most of empty floor space in your home with elegant floor vases. Add interest to a bland and empty corner by dressing it with a floor vase filled with tall wheat grass, sunflowers or fresh and colourful gladioli. To ensure that they don\’t get tipped over or become damaged by family or guests, make sure you weigh them down with rice or sand. And, finally, there are vases that look good even without flowers. Why not use a large handmade ceramic vase to add personality to a nook, windowsill, or even all year-round as a centrepiece? You can be sure it will make a serious statement, whether full or empty.
Fresh cut flowers are always a popular gift, whether it be for Valentine\’s Day or Mother\’s Day. They look beautiful, smell lovely and can brighten up any room. This year, why not go that extra mile and give the special person in your life a vase to go with the flowers you have bought them? Decorative vases also make ideal gifts for the home lover. However, make sure you think about their personal taste and try to visualise the item in their home. Will it fit and will it match their colour scheme? Decorative gifts such as pottery or ceramics make beautiful presents – gifts that will definitely last a lifetime.
Whichever vase you do decide to go for, you can be certain that they are a stunning, yet simple way, to bring a breath of fresh air into your home all year round.
