Vase shape by bouquet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n- A round, hand-tied bouquet<\/strong> suits a cylinder or a vase that widens slightly towards the top \u2013 it supports the bouquet\u2019s shape.<\/li>\n\n\n
- A tall, long-stemmed bouquet<\/strong>, for example roses or gladioli, needs a tall, narrow cylinder.<\/li>\n\n\n
- A loose, wildflower-style bouquet<\/strong> \u2013 a lower vase with a wide neck that lets the stems spread freely.<\/li>\n\n\n
- A single stem<\/strong> or a few flowers \u2013 a small bud vase with a narrow neck that holds the stem upright.<\/li>\n\n\n
- Heavy flowers<\/strong> such as hydrangeas<\/a> or peonies<\/a> \u2013 a heavier, stable vase with a wide base so it does not tip over.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
When a bouquet starts to fade, take it apart and put the remaining flowers into several smaller vases \u2013 they will look like a new arrangement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which vase material to choose<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n- Glass<\/strong> \u2013 versatile and easy to clean; in clear glass you can see when the water needs changing. Coloured or glossy glass adds warmth to an interior.<\/li>\n\n\n
- Ceramic<\/strong> \u2013 heavy and stable, so it suits large bouquets, and matte ceramics look lovely with dried flowers. Before filling it with water, make sure it is glazed inside \u2013 otherwise it may leak.<\/li>\n\n\n
- Metal<\/strong> \u2013 elegant, but some metals react with water and flower food, so it is better to place a glass container inside.<\/li>\n\n\n
- Wood and woven baskets<\/strong> \u2013 suit dried flowers; fresh flowers need an inner container for water.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\n

A dirty vase is the most common reason a bouquet wilts quickly: bacteria left on the walls clog the stems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Before putting in a new bouquet, wash the vase with hot water and washing-up liquid.<\/li>\n\n\n
- Clean a narrow neck with a bottle brush, or fill the vase with warm water and a spoonful of baking soda, close it and shake.<\/li>\n\n\n
- Rinse the vase every time you change the water, every 2\u20133 days.<\/li>\n\n\n
- Remove limescale from glass with vinegar or a citric acid solution.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
More tips on caring for the flowers themselves in our flower care guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nA short history of vases<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The first vessels we would call vases today were made not for flowers but for storing grain, oil and wine. The potter\u2019s wheel appeared in Mesopotamia about 5,500 years ago, and vessels became more regular in shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ancient Greeks turned vases into works of art: they decorated them with mythological scenes and named them by purpose \u2013 amphorae were for oil and wine, hydriai for water, alabastra for perfume and kraters for mixing wine with water. Winners of the Panathenaic Games in Athens received amphorae filled with olive oil as prizes. Today Greek vases are sometimes the only surviving record of certain cultural scenes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In China and Japan flower arrangements in vases, such as ikebana, have centuries-old traditions, while in Europe bouquets in vases became popular in the 16th\u201317th centuries, immortalised by Dutch still-life painters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
