Small vases

When you want to decorate your home or perhaps the covered dinner table with small vases, think about not filling them with too many flowers and green twigs. The flowers and greenery should not get out of hand, so find a fine balance. Some green twigs and a few cut flowers for color.  

Flower fakir

If you're feeling creative, the fakir is a perfect tool for creating unique flower arrangements. You can place it on a plate, at the bottom of a vase or directly on the table. If you work with dried flowers, it is fine to leave the fakir without water, but if it is flowers that require water, the fakir must stand 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 nice to add green leaves such as eucalyptus and fountain grass along with cut flowers.

Round vase

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