Preparing for Tet (Vietnamese Lunar New Year): How to choose the right flower vase.
Báo Dân trí•23/01/2025
(Dan Tri Newspaper) - Depending on the type of flowers and the location where you place the vase, you should choose a suitable vase shape such as a bud vase, a round vase, or a square vase.
According to florist Trang Linh, choosing the right vase will help the flowers reach their maximum beauty and make the arrangement easier. Before choosing a vase, you need to consider its placement. Will the flowers be visible from all sides or only from the front of the vase? If placed on a tea table, the vase will usually be viewed from above. If placed on a dining table, a low vase should be chosen to avoid disrupting meals. Next, consider the style. Vases, like other decorative items in the house, need to be chosen to match the overall style of the space. As a general rule, the ratio of flowers to vase should be 1.5:1. For a tall flower arrangement, the flowers should be 1.5 times the height of the vase. Similarly, for a short vase, the vase height should be 1.5 times the height of the flowers.

Bud-shaped vases are suitable for single flowers. There are many shapes for bud-shaped vases, such as small milk bottle-shaped vases, glass jars, round vases, or vases with complex designs. With a bud-shaped vase, you should only place one stem or a maximum of 2-3 branches. Avoid placing too many flowers in a bud-shaped vase as it will create an unbalanced look.

Round fish tank-shaped vase
A round, fishbowl-shaped vase offers a classic overall look. This type of vase is suitable for large flowers such as hydrangeas, peonies, and roses. Generally, a loose arrangement is quite appropriate for this type of vase. You can arrange flowers freely with a small number of flowers. Trim the stems so that the flower heads rest on top of or against the top edge of the vase to create a fuller appearance.
