Choosing the Right Vase for Your Flower Delivery
by Wanda Harland
·
A beautiful bunch of flowers deserves a vase that lets it shine. Whether you are sending a seasonal flower delivery as a gift or bringing fresh blooms home, the right vase makes arranging easy and helps your flowers become part of the room.
At Wanda Harland, we have a considered selection of vases to suit everything from a generous seasonal bunch to a few special stems.
For a classic everyday arrangement
Our Glass Jar Vase, Glass Cylinder Vase 10 x 20cm, Glass Cylinder Vase 10 x 30cm and The Standard Vase are easy, versatile choices. Their simple shapes work beautifully with seasonal flowers and make a lovely addition to a dining table, kitchen bench or bedside table.
The Glass Giant Jar Vase is made for fuller bunches with plenty of movement.
For a larger arrangement, a Glass Giant Jar Vase or the Ceramic White Trough Vase gives flowers plenty of room to spread. These are especially good for fuller bunches with plenty of movement and foliage.
The Ceramic White Trough Vase gives a seasonal arrangement plenty of room to spread.
For something with a little more personality
If you would like the vase to be part of the gift as well as the flowers, choose a more sculptural piece. The Mod Vase, Capitol Vase and Iris Pedestal Textured Vase each bring their own character, even when they are holding a simple arrangement.
The Mod Vase is a convenient way to gift flowers when you're not sure if there'll be access to a vase, or you suspect the customer mightn't be home to receive the delivery.
Our Glen Barris Ceramics collection includes distinctive shapes such as Bob, Blevins, Chet, Boo Boo, Charlatan, Stone Rose and Happy Monday. They are made for people who enjoy objects with a sense of humour and a strong point of view.
For smaller posies and single stems
Bud vases are perfect for a petite posy, a few delicate stems or flowers picked from a larger arrangement. The Glen Barris Bud Vase range includes playful shapes such as Angel, Lestat, Jacob, Edward, Elvira, He-Man, Rosalie, Curves, Egg, Upright, Lips, Flasky, Waisted, Heighty, Cousin It, Fester, Gomez and Morticia.
Group a few bud vases together for an easy centrepiece, or place one beside the bed, at the front door or on a small shelf.
Which vase should you choose?
As a general guide, choose a vase that is around one-third to one-half the height of your flowers. A wider opening suits a generous, relaxed bunch, while a narrower neck helps keep delicate stems upright. If you are choosing a vase to go with a specific flower delivery, we are happy to help match the shape and scale to the arrangement.
Vase options can change with the season, but you can always find fresh flowers and thoughtful gifts at Wanda Harland. We deliver across Lower Hutt, Eastbourne, Petone and Wellington. Order online or get in touch if you would like help choosing the perfect vase to go with your flowers.
