Flower vase designs – formal versus informal

Any occasion that calls for a fresh flower arrangement can be a formal or informal event. The reason to determine the nature of the event in advance is because your florist will need to know how to create the perfect bouquets for you. Consider wearing a pair of jeans to a black tie event. You would explain how a sore thumb and flowers are no different. Just as you need to dress for the occasion, you also need to “dress” your blooms with the right flower vase.

Elegant bouquets

If you are planning to attend a formal birthday party of a close friend or loved one, then you should choose the right types of flowers for this occasion. They should also appeal to the recipient’s preferences and, if possible, take into account the way their home has been decorated. As for a flower vase, you’ll be looking for something refined. While glass vases can be an expensive option, they make a fantastic gift that will show the recipient you bought it especially for them. Some people give away glass jars, but if you want to go the extra mile, don’t wrap it and give it away. Place fresh flowers in the vase and do the extravagant flower delivery yourself.

Traditional gift

The 15th wedding anniversary is known as the crystal anniversary and it is traditional for the couple to buy something crystal for each other. The type of flower traditionally associated with the 15th wedding anniversary is the rose. What’s better than giving happy newly-weds a glass flower vase with a bouquet of mixed roses? Husbands can send a truly romantic gesture by gifting their wives with a romantic bouquet of red roses in a crystal vase.

Vintage themes

If the recipient has a really old-fashioned theme in her home, you can still send a formal Victorian-style arrangement in a matching flower vase. This vase must preferably be made of porcelain and decorated in such a way that they can still be left on display even without flowers.

Versatile choice

For anyone who wants a safe choice, you can have flowers arranged in a transparent glass flower vase. These types of vases are simple, elegant and fit into any room, regardless of the existing decor. These are also great for those last minute flower orders where you urgently need a next day flower delivery and there isn’t much time for you to shop for vases. It’s also a great option if the recipient’s home decor is a mystery to you.

Something personal

For more informal occasions like Mother’s Day, birthdays and the like, it’s not always necessary to display these fresh flowers in an expensive or expensive looking flower vase. Make it personal and fun by using ordinary household items like a tin can, jar, or other similar item. Paint, cover with pictures or use other methods to decorate these ordinary containers and turn them into personalized flower pots. Not only are they suitable for those on a budget, but they give any bouquet that personal touch.

Like a formal flower vase, informal flower containers should hold informally arranged flowers. They often look best when you put random flowers on them and give them that “just picked from the garden” look. So, as you can see, as long as you keep the occasion and theme of the bouquet in mind, you can easily choose the right holder for those blooms.
