Martha Stewart Flowers now at Triple Oaks
posted on: November 16 2009
Let Martha Stewart help you choose the right floral container for your blooms.
Many household items can work as a vase: ginger or jelly jars, egg cups, pitchers, sea shells, pots, shallow or footed bowls and glass tumblers. Vases balance the floral display and add visual interest. They can be divided into six basic forms, all of which are used in our collection.
centerpieces
Trumpet: Fluted at the top. Blooms fall and arch outward naturally, echoing the flare of the vase.
Cylinder: May be tall or short. Best features stems that need support or flowers with long, very straight stems.
Sphere: Perfect for any flower that grows in clusters. Cut stems short so blooms will mound in a dome.
Bottle: Similar to a cylinder but works well for exotics or slim-stemmed flowering branches, arranged in individual bottles to cluster or line in a row.
Low Pan: Wonderful for one or two flower buds floating or anchored at the base with a florist's frog.
Pail or Urn: A shape that opens slightly at top. Flowers will have room to fall away to the sides. Great for large blooms.


CLASSIC VASE SHAPES
Martha Stewart's own personal collection of vases, planters, and bowls provided the inspiration for the collection's quintessential vase forms. Produced in ceramic, metal, and glass, these specially designed vases create lovely floral arrangements. After the flowers are gone, you'll have a keepsake vase, and you'll always be ready when a gift of fresh flowers arrives.
