The Beauty of Tall Vases
Tall vases add elegance and grandeur to any space. They make a statement and can be a centerpiece on their own. However, if you’re planning to put fresh-cut flowers in tall vases, you might be wondering what kind of flowers will look best. Here’s our guide to the best flowers for tall vases.
Go Big or Go Home
The first thing to consider is the size of the flowers. You don’t want your tall vase to look empty or sparse. Big, bold blooms will fill up the space and make it look complete. Think hydrangeas, sunflowers, and lilies. These flowers are tall enough to fill the vase and have enough presence to make it feel like a centerpiece.
Branching Out
Another option for tall vases is to use branches or stems that have a lot of foliage. These can add a lot of texture and visual interest to your arrangement. Try using curly willow branches, magnolia branches, or even eucalyptus stems. They add height without taking up too much space, and their leaves or branches will fill up the vase nicely.
Climbing to New Heights
Some flowers are naturally tall and will climb up the sides of your vase, which can be a stunning effect. Snapdragons are a great option for this because their tall spires of flowers will look like they’re reaching for the sky. Gladiolus is another flower that can climb nicely up the vase, and they come in a variety of colors to match your decor.
Color Theory
No matter what type of flowers you choose, it’s important to consider the color of your arrangement. Think about the colors in the room where your vase will be on display and choose flowers that complement or contrast with those colors. If your wall color is a cool blue, for example, warm-colored flowers like yellow or orange will pop nicely against it.
