How to Choose a Flower Vase? Be sure to consider these aspects!

The vases available in the Almi Decor store are diverse in terms of colors, sizes, shapes and materials. So how do you find the right one among them, which will be the perfect complement to the interior design? To be sure that you are making the right purchase, pay attention to:

• size – florists’ recommendations are clear – for bouquets in vases to look aesthetically pleasing, the vessel should constitute 3/8 of the entire composition, and the flowers must reach about 10 cm above its edge. The stability of the whole thing also matters – make sure the base is wide enough and match the size to the place where you plan to place the decoration. A small vessel will look good on a small coffee table or chest of drawers, while on the floor it is worth placing an effective model with a lush composition;
• shape – depends primarily on what plants you want to put in it. If it is to be a vase for flowers with long stems, it must be high enough, so that you can be sure that it will not tip over under the weight of the contents placed in it. Small bouquets will look beautiful in narrow vessels, and wide and lush ones in low and bulging ones;
• style – match it to the arrangement that dominates the interior and to the composition that you intend to display in it. The vessel itself can be an original decoration, but the more flashy and eye-catching it is, the less effective the bouquet placed in it should be. If flowers are the dominant aesthetic, choose a delicate product that will only be a background for the plant display. It is important to avoid excess, as it could be overwhelming;
• material of manufacture – compositions in glass vases look fresh, and transparent walls make it easy to control the water level and its purity. It does not have to be white and fully transparent glass – at Almi Decor we also offer colored models. Ceramic products available in various shapes are also an interesting proposition;
• color – products in subdued shades – black, beige, white or gray – are considered universal. They match any bouquet. However, there is nothing to stop you from choosing a multi-colored, striped or other patterned cover.

Match the vase to the arrangement – ​​see how easy it is!

Although the choice of decorations is huge and it may seem that it is difficult to find the perfect product in such a rich assortment - nothing could be further from the truth!

Lovers of Scandinavian decor should focus their attention on products that look unobtrusive – in this case, white flower pots are a good solution.

Which vase for which flowers? Discover our suggestions

In order for the arrangement of the vase to be coherent, it must be matched to the specific species that are to be found in it. If you have a tall glass vase, you will find inspiration for its arrangement on floristic portals - such a vessel gives you a wide field of activity. Put roses, tulips, carnations or sunflowers in it - the narrower the opening, the fewer flowers you can put in it. Low models are good for displaying small bouquets of lilies of the valley, daffodils, daisies or peonies. Large, modern flower pots placed on the floor are a great idea if you are creating an effective decoration with many plants. They are stable, so they will hold even a large composition and will certainly be a dominant decoration in the room.

If you choose live decorations for a vase – flowers, leaves or shrub branches, you need to ensure the water level is adequate, so that a large part of the stems is immersed in it. For your convenience, pay attention to how easy it is to fill the vessel and check the amount of water in it – glass models with transparent walls will make this much easier. Remember that for the whole thing to look perfect, the flowers must be in perfect condition. They should be fresh, with no signs of drying or wilting. If the bouquet has been standing for a long time and is starting to look unattractive, it is worth learning how to revive tulips in a vase. These tips will also be useful for other species:

• put a penny into the container where the flowers are placed – the copper that precipitates from it inhibits the growth of mold, fungi and bacteria,
• Before displaying the bouquet, remove the lower leaves – they will not absorb water or rot,
• add a little sugar to the water – it acts as a conditioner or pour a glass of vodka – it will extend the life of cut plants,
• Place the vase with flowers in a bright place, but not in direct sunlight,
• change the water daily.

Artificial vase decorations – when is it a good solution?

Many people decide to use artificial flower vase arrangements – they do not require care and can last for a long time, maintaining their impeccable appearance. Dried plants look beautiful, and they create delightful displays using seasonal species. Anyone can make them themselves by picking, drying and placing flowers, herbs and leaves in a carefully selected container. Modern ceramic vases for the living room will work great for such bouquets.

An interesting idea, which is especially useful in modernist arrangements, are glass flowers for a vase. These are exceptionally durable decorations and impress with their precision of workmanship and detail reproduction. They come in various colours – coloured glass looks beautiful in glamour designs, where elegance and references to luxury are the priority.
