Flower vase ideas for a festive bouquet

When you order fresh flowers for yourself or for somebody special, one of the most important questions you can ask yourself is if you should include a flower vase. The right vase can make a bouquet look even better. Of course, if you include a vase with your flower order, it will affect the price. So, if you are on a tight budget, here are some lovely ideas to keep in mind when in search of the perfect vase.

Consider the colour scheme

Before you choose a flower vase, no matter the occasion, you should always consider the colour scheme of the bouquet. For example, you wouldn’t want to use a red vase to display red flowers. A white, green, black or clear glass vase would be far more suitable.

Rustic style

If you have a rustic style arrangement, you want to choose a flower vase that would be reminiscent of what was used many years ago. In those days, not everyone had glamorous vases. So, they would use copper buckets, watering cans or they would create basket arrangements. For a basket bouquet, you will need to insert a waterproof holder inside the basket to keep your blooms hydrated and happy.

Recycled jars and cans

During the festive season, you might use significantly more canned goods. So, if you have some leftover cans or jars, don’t throw them out. You can put them to far better use if you have a short-stemmed bouquet. Just be sure to conceal the can or jar with some fabric or wrapping paper and a bow.

Mason jars

Mason jars are another lovely option when you are looking for a flower vase that will suit just about any setting. They look particularly lovely in kitchens. You don’t need to cover up the exterior of these jars but you might like to spruce them up a bit with a festive bow.

Remember, if you want to send a bouquet to somebody special but you know for sure that they have an impressive flower vase collection, you can send a handheld bouquet in confidence. These bouquets are beautifully wrapped in decorative paper and neatly bound together. As soon as they arrive, the lucky recipient can decide which vase they would like to use.
