Perfect wedding flowers: a match made in the garden

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.
