Matching Your Cylindrical Vases With Your Floral Arrangement

It is usually nice to have freshly-cut floral arrangements in a room.  These plants add life and brighten up any room, and their scent may grant a room an exceedingly enjoyable allure.  The beautifying effect of floral arrangements in a room could be further kicked up a notch with a floral cylindrical vase wherein these blooms are put.  Floral arrangements and  cylinder vases always go together both for pragmatic and for aesthetic intentions, but the wrong match between flower and cylindrical vase will destroy this purpose and tarnish the effect.

A cylinder vase should always harmonize the flowers for which it is used as a holding container.  The beauty of the floral arrangement should never be paired with  floor vases or even a floral vase that’s too colorful or excessively fancy, or else they will clash and hurt one’s eyes.  After all, in any floral arrangement, the flowers are the star of the proceedings and absolutely not the vase.  The guideline that all florists are ruled by in making floral arrangements is that the floral arrangement and the cylinder vases or floral vases that contains it should always complement or strike a direct contrast but certainly be in harmony with each other.  Harmony, after all, is the element that brings all forms of art together.

Therefore, whenever you are in the mood for new–cut floral arrangements, consider how best to showcase the flowers in a fashion that can bright out their beauty even more before you place them inside a vase.  Certain people just put the arrangement in whatever vase they are able to procure and totally wasting the flowers away.

The top end of the flower arrangement should always be in proportion to the cylinder vase that will be used as its container. Never forget that tall flower arrangements, using flowers with long stems and long petals, must always be matched to tall cylinder vases.  The reverse, naturally, is equally applicable.  To give you some kind of idea on how sizes and heights function with flower arrangements and cylinder vases, when the floral arrangement is positioned in the interior of its vase, its resulting height should be taller than the original height of the flower arrangement by about half to two thirds of this original height.

A cylindrical vase should not ever fight the floral arrangement it holds for focus; as stated above, the vase must harmonize with the floral arrangement it serves as container for.  Thus, a good cylinder or floral vase is one that’s muted or non-extreme as far as colors go.  The colors of a flower vase should be light and solid, like pure white, a duller golden cream or a delicate pastel, and such colors will likely help bring out the visual splendor of the flowers.  Stripes and other rhythmic patterns are all right for vases as long as they do not take the attention away from the floral arrangement.

What’s more,  ceramic vases or square glass vases that are too brilliant in tint, crystal vases that have too bold a pattern in their visual structures, or cut glass vases that happen to be excessively complicated and gorgeous to view are not meant to be a container for flowers.  They’re intended to be shown off for their own beauty.
