A Flower Vase for Every Occasion

A flower vase for every occasion to create effortless flower arrangements for your home, entertaining, and parties.

I love arranging flowers to disperse throughout our home to enjoy daily as decor, when entertaining, or having overnight guests. I also really love a great vase that makes arranging flowers almost effortless.

Upon request, I’m sharing a few of my favorite vases with you today! To be honest, I rarely invest in an expensive vase and sometimes even turn to something unconventional to use as a flower vase, but these standards are perfect for everyday flower arrangements.

Most of the vases I use are really inexpensive, coming in between $3-10! Rather than filling your cabinets with florist vases in undesirable or dated shapes, fill them with a few classics you can turn to for an easy last minute flower arrangement.

What flower vase to use?

Some vases are easier to arrange in than others – I’m breaking down my favorites including a cylinder vase, small cylinder vase, bud vase, hurricane and more!

Cylinder Vase

A cylinder glass flower vase is timeless and classic and is the most versatile for a large flower arrangement without requiring an excessive amount of stems. It’s easy to work with. This vase is just $4.99 in stores at Target.

You can find tutorials using a cylinder glass vase here:

• photo centerpiece
• rose and eucalyptus
• dried eucalyptus
• and many, many more sprinkled throughout our home on the site

Small Cylinder Vase

A short cylinder glass vase is also timeless, classic and easy to arrange in, but requires more flowers to fill it out. You can learn how to create a flower arrangement in a short cylinder vase here.

Hurricane Vase

Footed vases are always a favorite for a dramatic look {without the effort}. You can learn how to arrange flowers in a pedestal vase with these easy tutorials:

• roses
• tulips
• jasmine

Bud Vase

Bud vases may be my favorite. Just a bloom or two in a bud vase can bring a room to life. These are a few of my favorites:

• milk glass jug vase
• cocktail bud vase {doubles as a decanter for individual servings of wine!}
• round bud vase {perfect for a single stem}

As I mentioned before, anything is a vase as long as it can hold water. Here are a few untraditional vase ideas:

• pretty peach centerpiece in a copper utensil holder
• mini arrangements in a copper mug
• mini arrangements in bags
• basket of blooms in a basket
• apple centerpiece in a tray
• ironstone
• brass pieces
