The best vases for different types of flowers

Different types of flowers and different kinds of arrangements are best displayed in different vases. The way you display you flowers is just as important as choosing the right flowers to suit your home or office décor.

Roses can be displayed in a number of ways. A vintage cut vase as a slightly narrow base with a wider rim. This is a great way of showing off the timeless beauty of these flowers. Trumpet shaped flowers are shaped like a trumpet with a very narrow base and very wide rim. These vases give your bouquet that luxurious look. Then there are vases that have an average base, slim neck and wider rim. These are perfect for showing off fuller rose bouquets.

As for tulips, they will look exceptional in a short cylinder, tall cylinder, or tall square vase. Each of these vases allow you to add minimal water which is exactly what these flowers prefer. If your tulips have shorter stems, you can use shorter vases. If they have long stems, the longer vases will support the stems best.

Peonies, like roses, look lovely in vintage cut vases. They can also be displayed in bubble vases which resemble fish bowls. Alternatively, you can opt for a pedestal vase. These vases have a pedestal style base followed by a bowl-like portion, a somewhat narrow neck and slightly wider rim.

Sunflowers often have long stems which means that they could use extra support. A tall cylinder is perfect for this reason. Alternatively, you could opt for a bucket or galvanized pot for that perfect countryside appeal. If you cut the stems shorter, you could use mason jars.

Bud vases have a wide or narrow base as well as a narrow rim. These vases only allow for a single stem. This makes them great for daisies, orchids, roses, and many more types of flowers.

Lilies are known for their flare and you should always give them enough space to show off their beauty. This is why they should be displayed in a bubble vase, a tall square vase, or one with a narrow neck and wide rim. Remember, if you are ever unsure about the type of vase for your bouquet, you can search for flowers online or ask your florist for expert advice.
