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 a 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 vases with a style that fits the overall space.

As a general rule, the flower or vase should dominate in a 1.5:1 ratio. For tall flowers, the flower 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 flower.

Flower vase

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.

Generally, a loose arrangement is suitable for this type of vase. You can arrange the flowers freely with a small number of flowers. Trim the stems so that the flower heads are at the top or lean against the top edge of the vase to create a fuller look.

Bottle shaped vase

Vase shapes are quite popular and have an overall eye-catching appearance. These vases come in a variety of 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, you should consider choosing a ceramic vase.

Cubic 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.
