How to Style A Flower Bud Vase

Little Blooms, Big Impact: The Best & Easiest Way to Arrange Flowers

Bud vases are all about showcasing individual blooms or small sprigs. You can let the flower's beauty shine without overcrowding. You don't need a dozen roses to make a statement; a few stems snipped from your garden or a single beautiful bloom from the market can work wonders in a bud vase. Consider clear glass for a classic look, colored glass for a pop, or ceramic for an earthy feel. If you want to get really creative you can repurpose old perfume bottles, small jars or even painted bottles. 

Step 1: Start with a clean vase. This can prevent bacteria growth, which can shorten the life of your flowers. 
Step 2: Use fresh water. Fill the vase with fresh, room-temperature water. The water level should be the same in each vase to maintain continuity. 
Step 3. Trim the stems. Cut the stems at a 45-degree angle every day or every other day to help the flowers absorb water more effectively. 
Step 4: Remove submerged leaves. Any leaves below the waterline will rot and contaminate the water. Plus, it gives it a more sleek look to keep the leaves above the rim. 
Step 5: Arrange your flowers. Place one flower at a time. Highlight a single, perfect bloom, or create a small arrangement of two or three varieties. The easiest way to do this is to start with your focal flower, followed by stems that add dimension, and ending with a filler to create texture. It's okay, encouraged even, to have contrast in your flowers. Oftentimes this enhances the visual interest and highlights the individual beauty of each flower. 
Step 6: Find the right spot. Consider height and placement. If grouping, place taller vases in the center or back with shorter ones in front. Arranging bud vases in odd numbers (3, 5, 7) will create a more natural and visually pleasing display. 
- Create a tablescape by lining several bud vases down the center of a table for an eye-catching centerpiece. 
- Or for use a single bud vase as an accent piece. Tuck them onto a bookshelf, windowsill or incorporate into a gallery wall for a surprising pop of nature.

Other tips:
Hydrate droopy flowers: If your flowers start to droop, try recutting the stems and placing them in fresh, cool water. You can even try submerging the entire flower (excluding the bloom) in cool water for an hour to rehydrate. 
Keep away from direct sunlight and heat: Place your bud vase in a cool spot away from direct heat, which can cause the flowers to wilt faster. 
Change water daily: Refresh the water in the vase daily to prevent bacterial buildup. 
Fee your flower: Use a flower food packet if you have one. If you don't, a pinch of sugar and a drop of bleach can help. 

A thoughtful gesture: A single flower in a sweet bud vase makes a lovely and heartfelt gift!!
