Glass Flower Vase

Glass flower vases are great for special occasions. They are commonly used for weddings, graduations, and business banquets as centerpieces. They add a certain personality and elegance to the event, and can be purchased for very little. Some of my favorite places to find glass flower vases on the cheap are Marshall’s, TJ Max, thrift stores, antique stores, and online at Amazon. If you have a wedding coming up or are in charge of your company’s event planning it might be a good idea to stock up on some glass flower vases.

Vases come in all sorts of forms, shapes, sizes, and colors. They can be clear, have ornate designs, and funky designs. But they all have five distinctive parts to them.

1. The bottom or base of the vase is referred to as the foot. The foot of a vase can be carinate which means the shape is defined by the joining of a rounded base to the sides of an inward sloping vessel, flat, or have a bulbous nature to it.

2. The body of a vase is usually the largest part of the vase and is considered the main part of glass flower vases.

3. The top of the body will have a curve inward which brings us to the shoulder of the vase.

4. From here we have the neck of the vase which gives it more height and elegance.

5. At the very top of the vase is a flare outwards this is referred to as the lip of the vase.

I would usually recommend to use the same model of glass flower vases for a centerpiece at your event just for symmetry purposes, however it’s really up to you. You could use two different models and set them every other table, or just get a bunch of different ones and go at it.

As far as what to put in them, it really depends on your taste, what the tables will look like (what color tablecloth’s/napkins), the season, and what the glass flower vases will hold. If you want to put in a large bouquet then obviously you will want a vase large enough for it to occupy. Flowers are really nice, but to add some flavor you might want to put in some stones at the base, and mix in some branches, pussy willows always look excellent.
