Everyone loves the look of flowers to enhance a room. Flowers truly become the center of attention at a reception table, setting the scene and brightening the room with their color, but what can make or break your beautiful styling comes down to the vase you choose to hold your bouquet.
The shape of your vase matters, as well as the color and the material. Glass vases are often a great go-to since they're so easily integrated into a variety of decor schemes, but metal, ceramic, and wood cases can complement your scenery just as well. Here we'll discuss the best uses and applications for a square glass vase and how you can help bring the beauty of your flowers to life.
A Short Versus a Tall Square Vase
A general rule of thumb with square vases is to choose flowers that will fill the entire width of your vase. Placing a single flower in your vase will be less than flattering. A square vase is your opportunity to display a full, lush bouquet or greenery piece for a table setting. Once you've settled on the number of flowers, you'll need to consider the heights.
If you're wondering how to arrange flowers in a short square vase, the answer is simple — choose a full bloom. Short stems with large and overflowing heads create the perfect small centerpiece, as exemplified by this short mirror strip cube vase. The stems hide from view, but the rose softly fills the entire width of the square opening.
When you want to arrange flowers in a tall square vase, you'll want a long stem with a bloom that isn't too overpowering. If you try and pair a large bloom with a tall square vase, the weight may become uneven and result in a toppled arrangement. Using stems with daintier blooms instead will allow the petals to spread out while not overcrowding the interior of the container.
Your Color Choices Matter
What you should keep in mind is the coloring of your floral arrangement as well as that of your chosen glass vase. You might choose to find complementary hues that allow both your vase and bouquet to match. If your bouquet is vivid with lots of colors, you'll want to opt for a clear or neutral-colored square vase to offset it. Adding some ribbon or perhaps birch or burlap material can give an extra pop of color to the vase and keep to the theme of your scenery.
Square Vase Centerpiece Ideas
If you need some inspiration for how to decorate a square glass vase, here are a few tips to get you started:
- Flowers that have a bulkier bloom but don't open too wide, like a rose, will complement the shape of a square vase.
- Square vases need a tightly packed flower arrangement to fill the width of the vase.
- Use as many blooms as possible to fill in a square vase and achieve the full stunning effect of the shape.
- Purchase a great pair of floral scissors — available in right- and left-handed models — as you will likely need to cut the stems short.
- Create a flawless centerpiece display by using the same style of square vases in varying sizes and heights.
