Just as important as the flowers in a centerpiece, a vase can bring a piece together and complete
the arrangement. Vases come in all different shapes, sizes and colors, and with all the posiblities, finding
the right vase to compliment your blooms and the surrounding area is very possible. In order to best arrange a
floral centerpiece, it helps to understand how to choose the right vase to compliment your blooms. This section
is dedicated to explaining different shapes, sizes and colors of vases, and how to choose the right bloom to match.

An important factor in the selection of a vase for your centerpiece is the color. If the
vase color clashes with the color of your blooms, the centerpiece will look less attractive and appealing. Try to
compliment or match the color of your vase when choosing blooms for your centerpiece. For clear and colored glass vases,
there is also the option of adding color to the centerpiece by sinking colored marbles or rocks at the bottom of the vase
or floating colored objects such as berries on top of the water. Visit our
Vase Colors section to learn more about matching and complimenting vase and bloom color.

The shape of a vase often dictates the size and flower types used in an arrangement. Short-stemmed flowers don't fit
well into large and tall vases, and taller flowers need to be cut down to fit into smaller vases. However, the use of
floral foam can greatly assist in utilizing a wide range of flowers in a variety of vase types. Our section on
Vase Shapes can teach you which blooms work best with different vase shapes and sizes.
If you are purchasing a floral centerpiece from a florist, they can recommend a flower and vase combination. Ask your
florist for a recommendation.
