Casa LV hand-blown glass objet
Known for its bespoke, hand-blown glass objet, including clear and coloured vases and glassware, Cape Town-based Cassa LV was established in 2017 by friends Lynne and Vilma.
With a focus on colour, functionality and quality, the team creates the most delicate vases for the home, including their tall XL Lara vases, Serena bud vases and the wide-neck Luna vase.
Here the team from Casa LV shares how to choose the correct vase for your flowers.
Bottle-neck vases
Whether tall or short, vases with narrow necks are best for flowers with thin stems or one or two pretty stems of blossoming branches or other greenery.
The advantage of bottle-neck vases is that you don’t need a lot to fill them – a few stems can make a pretty statement display.
Wide-neck vases
Squat, wide-neck vases are great for creating centrepieces. These types of vases require quite a bit of plant material to fill up, so be sure to have enough big-headed flowers on hand, such as hydrangeas, peonies or roses. These types of arrangements look best when filled to almost bursting, so don’t skimp on quantity!
Bud vases
A popular choice, bud vases require only a single stem or two in each vase and can be displayed on their own or in creative groupings. These vases are also small enough to easily fit on a shelf, vanity, or side table – or to make a pretty procession down a dining table without taking up too much space.
Decorative vases
These vases are so pretty that they make a statement all on their own. Choose to fill them with flowers or simply display them empty for aesthetic impact. As the vases are the main focal point, these are best filled with a single type or hue of flower.
Flared vases
Flared vases give a beautiful, natural look to arrangements, allowing the flowers to fan out and breathe. Simply cut a store-bought bouquet to length, pop it in the vase, and voila!
Round vases
These are great for creating a dome-shaped display. The trick to getting it balanced and looking correct, is opting for a tightly bunched bouquet cut perfectly to size so that the lowest flower heads just touch the vase and the rest stand taller, creating a rounded or domed effect.
