Small vases

When you want to decorate your home or perhaps the set table with small vases, you should think about not stuffing them with too much. In small vases, green twigs and leaves look nice. It is also nice to put a few cut flowers for a little color.

Flower fakir

If you are feeling creative, the fakir is a perfect tool for creating unique flower arrangements. You can place it on a plate, the bottom of a vase or directly on the table. If you are working with dried flowers, it is fine to place the fakir without access to water, but if it is flowers that require water, the fakir should be placed in water. Here we have put it in a smaller glass vase.

Tall vase

In tall vases, it is best to put cut flowers with long stems such as lilies, sunflowers, pampas grass and amaryllis for Christmas. In the tall vases, it can also be beautiful to add green leaves and such as eucalyptus and fountain grass together with the cut flowers.

Most cut flowers fit in classic globe vases. If you have received a bouquet of flowers or if you have tied it yourself, the ball vase is usually the best option for a hand-tied bouquet. If the vase has a small neck, it usually gives better stability to the bouquet.
