Stem to vase: mastering the art of flower display with Fleur by DK

Selecting the perfect vase for your flowers is an art that can dramatically transform your floral arrangements from ordinary to extraordinary. Whether you're displaying fresh blooms from your local florist Christchurch or creating stunning centrepieces for special occasions, the right vase choice enhances both the beauty and longevity of your fresh flowers. As award-winning florists, Fleur by DK have arranged thousands of bouquets for flower delivery in Christchurch , and we understand how the vessel you choose is just as important as the flowers themselves. Understanding vase fundamentals: shape, size, and function The foundation of exceptional flower arranging begins with understanding how different vase shapes serve specific purposes. There are multiple factors to consider when selecting vases for fresh flower arrangements, including stem length, flower type, arrangement style, and placement location. · Round vases represent the most versatile option in any florist's toolkit. Globe-shaped they feature wide bottoms that taper to slightly narrower openings, creating a natural support for flower stems while allowing for organic, flowing arrangements. The rounded shape encourages stems to spread naturally, creating a volume and movement that's beautifully effective for mixed bouquets and flower arrangements. · Tall, straight vases excel with long-stemmed flowers such as lilies, gladioli, and romantic roses. The vertical shape provides essential support for flowers with a good stem length while exploiting the dramatic height in your arrangements to create elegant proportions that draw the eye upward. · Small or bud vases serve multiple purposes, from showcasing single statement blooms to creating clustered arrangements with multiple small vessels. These compact vases are perfect for intimate table settings, or when you want to distribute floral beauty throughout multiple rooms.

Fleur by DK: changing the perceptions of flower gifting in Christchurch

4 August 2025
Flower giving has always held a special place in human culture, an age-old way to say, ‘I love you,’ flowers to say, ‘I’m sorry,’ or simply ‘I’m thinking of you.’ But as the world changes, so do gifting habits. Today, the act of giving flowers has expanded far beyond romance, branching into self-care, friendship, activism, and personal storytelling. At Fleur by DK, an award-winning boutique florist in Christchurch NZ, we’ve seen firsthand how attitudes towards floral gifting are evolving. And we’re embracing every beautiful shift. Whether you’re searching for wedding flowers Christchurch, thoughtful gifts for her Christchurch, or even a way to brighten a hospital room with flowers Christchurch hospital delivery, the reasons behind flower giving today are more diverse, and more meaningful, than ever before. 1. Exceedingly romantic, but flowers for every relationship Traditionally, flowers have been strongly linked to romantic gestures. But today, more people are embracing flowers as gifts for friends, colleagues, neighbours, and themselves. Sending a bouquet is no longer reserved for Valentine’s Day (although Valentine’s Day flowers Christchurch are still a top seller ); it’s about acknowledging meaningful relationships in all their forms. Think about a bright, cheerful posy sent to a friend who’s just landed a new job. Or a calming arrangement delivered to a family member recovering in hospital. Our same day flower delivery Christchurch service makes it easy to show you care, immediately (order flowers online for Christchurch) and sincerely. 2. Self-care, floral-style One of the most exciting trends we’ve seen as a Papanui Road florist Christchurch is the rise of flowers as self-care. Buying flowers for your own home is no longer considered indulgent, but an affordable luxury. Fresh flowers lift your mood, lower stress, and bring a sense of calm. Many clients come to our flower shop Christchurch not because they need a gift, but because they want to feel better. And they leave with a bunch of local tulips or delicately scented freesias in hand, and a visible lift in spirit. For those who can’t make it into our Merivale florist, check our wide selection of flowers online Christchurch ; treating yourself to a beautiful bouquet is as easy as clicking a button. 3. The social media influence Social media plays a massive role in modernising floral gifting reminding people that flowers aren’t just for milestones, they can celebrate everyday beauty. Instagram-worthy arrangements and Pinterest boards filled with dreamy petals have ignited people’s love and appreciation for the artistry behind floristry. Thanks to this visibility, florists are no longer seen simply as vendors of flower bouquets. Rather, at Fleur by DK Christchurch, we are celebrated for our creative designs with each bouquet a work of living art.
