When it comes to filling a vase, there are so many options. Vases come in so many shapes and sizes that there is something to suit every style. The key is to pick a vase that will be easy for you to fill and look good when it's full. The type of vase you choose will determine how you fill it.
Floor vases are large vessels that have a wide, heavy bottom, which prevents them
from being knocked over easily. Look for a floor vase that has a large
enough opening to accommodate either very large stems or a large number of flowers, as you will need it to be very full to look its best, and to balance out the weight of the vase itself. Vertical filler such as curly willow, pampas grass or spiral eucalyptus is a
popular choice, and adds height while leaving the vessel to be the focal point.
Table vases are smaller than floor vases but still quite large in their own right. They come in many different shapes including round, square and rectangular, however they all have one thing in common; they're meant to sit on a table! Table vases are great for bunches individual flowers such as roses or daffodils as well as small bunches of mixed cut blooms, branches and other decorative materials such as ribbons and bows which can add extra color and texture to an arrangement.
Cylinder vases have very straight sides and little to no narrowing at the top of the vase.
These tall, straight table vases are popular choices for displaying fresh and dried flowers. No budget for flowers? A taller vase can be used to create an extravagant statement piece on its own. For example, a tall glass cylinder vase can be filled with water, stones or colorful glass beads, and floating candles for a dramatic display.
Bud vases are smaller than your average vase and are great for showcasing a single bud, or a few small flowers. The most popular bud vases are made from
glass, but you can also find them in ceramic or wood. These types of material are great for adding color and texture to your space. If you're looking to save money on flower arrangements, consider using a cluster of bud vases filled with flowers that compliment each other.
