Square Vases

Finding the appropriate way to display flowers given from a significant other or marital partner is essential to making them feel their gift is appreciated and loved. With this in mind, the appropriate vase that captures the mood and intention of your gift giver is essential to this goal.

With so many types of vases on the market, the color, shape, size, and quality of the vase can vary in many ways.

A classic choice is the square vase, which gives off a modernistic feel but at the same time is not nearly as imposing or assuming as more modern or post-modern options.

The biggest choice when it comes to a vase is the size of it. When picking one out, be sure to realize that the flowers should be the focus of the vase, not the vase itself.

While it can complement or add to the total picture, having the vase be a color or shape that is so large or dominating that the flowers simply fade to the background is not the right choice for most occasions.

That being said, finding a vase that can complement and add to the flowers is the goal all buyers should aspire for. This is where the square vase comes in with its modern appeal and subtle style.

Instead of having many angles and lines that draw the attention off of the plants or flowers, the square vase typically accents and draws attention to the top of the flower arrangement.

In this way, the generally boring stem can be minimized and not a big part of the equation.  One other important factor to consider when purchasing a square vase is what the vase is actually constructed out of.

While plastic may be cheaper and more durable and drop resistant, it loses the classic and authentic feel that glass can give. Keeping this in mind, be sure to analyze who you are buying or using the square glass vase for; if they appreciate frugality do not splurge and go as simply as possible!

Even if you are simply buying a vase for a future occasion or planning on combining your gift of flowers with a vase, always be conscious of the accenting and what the piece adds to your gift. Being sure that the square vase does not draw away from the true gift is essential to providing a thoughtful, yet not overpowering present.
