Tet Shopping: How to choose the right flower vase

According to florist Trang Linh, choosing the right vase will help the flowers reach their maximum beauty and make it easier for the arranger to do the job.

Before choosing a vase, you need to consider the location of the vase. Will the flowers be placed in a position that can be seen from all sides or just the front of the vase? If placed on a tea table, the vase will usually be viewed from above. If the vase is placed on the dining table, it should be balanced and placed low so as not to affect eating activities.

Next, consider style. Vases are like other decorative items in the house. Therefore, we need to choose a vase with a style that matches the overall space.

As a general rule, the flower or vase should dominate in a 1.5:1 ratio. For tall flowers, the flowers should be 1.5 times the height of the vase. Alternatively, for a short vase, the vase should be 1.5 times the height of the flowers.

Vase of buds

Bud vases are suitable for single flowers. There are many shapes for bud vases such as small milk bottles, glass jars, round vases or vases with complex shapes.

With a bud vase, you should only put one stem or a maximum of 2-3 branches. Do not put too many flowers in a bud vase because it will create a feeling of disproportion.

Round fish tank

Round fish tank shaped vases give a classic look. This type of vase is suitable for large flowers such as hydrangeas, peonies and roses.

Usually, a loose arrangement is quite suitable for this type of vase. You can arrange freely with a small number of flowers. Trim the flower stems so that the flower heads are above or leaning against the top edge of the vase to create a feeling of fullness.

Bottle shaped vase

Bottle vases are quite popular and have an overall eye-catching appearance. They come in many different sizes and shapes, allowing the florist to create flexible styles and arrangements.

If you have a modern style, you can choose a glass vase. If your house has a classic style, consider choosing a ceramic vase.

Cube vase

Square or intricately shaped vases are ideal for short stemmed arrangements. These vases are often used for dense flower arrangements, especially flowers with large blooms relative to the stem, such as miniature roses, anemones or peonies.

Posy vase

Posy vases are a great choice for small bouquets. They come in a variety of sizes and are shaped like an hourglass, with a bulbous base and a narrow neck that flares slightly at the top. This shape allows for a versatile arrangement of flowers with a beautiful overall look.

This type of vase is often used to display roses, tulips...

High column vase

Tall column vases are used to hold long-stemmed flowers. To make the overall look symmetrical, people often style them with branches, foliage and twigs to maintain the structure of the vase.
