Pretty Vases


Most of the time, in the flower business, a vase serves simply as the container to hold the flowers.  The blooms are the featured stars.  Sometimes, it's good to let flowers serve as the accent to a vase that's beautiful and can stand out in its own right.

Here we see 2 gorgeous bottle-style vases.  From gorgeous acid green pottery, "Yearning Desert" flowers flow naturally.  The soft, velvety off-white blooms on subtle grey-green stems allow the color of the vase to really pop.  Conversely,  caramel brown "Robin Hood" gerbera daisies enhance this cream vase with a "moon surface" pattern - adding a touch of color without overpowering the wonderful texture that gives the vase such visual interest.  For both, the flowers are simply gathered, cut, and placed loosely.  The narrow neck of the bottles prop the flowers up perfectly, eliminating any need to properly "arrange" them.
