Matching Your Cylinder Vases With Your Flower-Based Decor

by sam on August 17, 2011

It is always nice to have fresh-cut flowers in any room.  These plants add life and brightness to a room, and their scent may grant a room a very enjoyable allure.  The atmosphere-enhancing effect of floral arrangements in a room can be further kicked up a notch by a floral cylindrical vase where these blooms are put.  Floral arrangements and  cylinder vases typically go together both for practical and for visually artistic intentions, but the wrong match between flower and cylinder vase will destroy this purpose and tarnish the effect.

A cylindrical vase should always complement the flowers for which it serves as a holding container.  The beauty of the flowers must not be paired with  floor vases or even a flower vase that's overly colorful or excessively fancy, or else the two will clash and be unpleasant to the vision.  After all, in all types of floral arrangement, the flowers are the star of the show and never the vase.  The guideline that all florists are ruled by in creating floral arrangements is that the floral arrangement and the cylinder vases or floral vases that contains it must every time round out or strike a direct contrast but certainly be harmonized with each other.  Harmony, after all, is the factor that brings all types of artistic expression together.

And so, whenever you happen to be feeling like new--cut floral arrangements, think about the best way to showcase the flowers in a fashion that can bright out their beauty even more before you place them into a vase.  Some people simply place the flowers in any kind of vase they are able to find and totally devaluing the floral arrangement away.

The top end of one's flower arrangement must always be proportional to the cylinder vase that is intended to be used as its receptacle. Never forget that tall flower arrangements, using flowers with taller stems and long petals, must always be paired with tall cylindrical vases.  The opposite, of course, applies as well.  To give you some sort of idea on how sizes and heights function on flower arrangements and cylindrical vases, when the floral arrangement is positioned in the interior of its vase, its new height must be taller than the old tallness measurement of the flower arrangement by around half to two thirds of this original height.

A cylindrical vase should never struggle against the floral arrangement it holds for focus; as noted earlier, the vase must complement the floral arrangement it contains.  Therefore, a great cylindrical or floral vase is a vase that is muted or neutral when it comes to colors.  The hues of a floral vase should be pale and solid, such as pure white, cream or a delicate pastel, and such colors should help bring out the beauty of the floral arrangement.  Stripes and other rhythmic patterns are fine for vases only so long as they refrain from taking the focus away from the floral arrangement.

What is more,  ceramic vases or rectangular glass vases that are too brilliant in tint, crystal vases that have too strong a pattern in their designs, or cut glass vases that happen to be excessively complicated and gorgeous to view are not meant to hold floral arrangements.  They're meant to be displayed for their own beauty.
