Flower Vase

Flower Vase Arrangements and Decorative Vases for Every Room

A flower vase is the quiet hero of a beautiful home. The right vessel turns a handful of stems into a moment. The wrong one buries them. After 25 years of hand-tying bouquets in our Cape Town studio, our florists have learned that the vase matters almost as much as the flowers inside it. That is why every vase we stock has been chosen for how it holds a real arrangement, not just how it looks on a shelf.

You will find two kinds of flower vase on this page. The first is a ready-made arrangement that arrives in a vase, hand-styled by our team, watered, and ready to set down on a hall table. The second is the vase itself, sold empty, in the styles our customers ask for most often: glass, ceramic, fluted, frosted, large statement pieces, and small posy vessels. Both options ship same-day in Cape Town and Johannesburg when ordered before 12 pm. Gift boxes and decor pieces travel nationwide within 2 to 4 business days.

Ready-Made Vase Arrangements for Same-Day Delivery

Most florists send a bouquet wrapped in paper. The recipient then has to find a vase, trim the stems, and arrange the blooms before the gift looks like anything. We do that work for you. Our same-day flower delivery vase arrangements arrive styled, watered, and finished, so the person opening the door sees the gift the way it was meant to be seen.

Browse our pre-arranged flower bouquets, seasonal stems through spring flowers, and full-bodied roses on stems built to last a week or longer. Each arrangement is paired with a vase that suits the bloom, the season, and the occasion. For a primer on getting the most life out of your stems, our guide to taking care of flowers in a vase covers the basics our florists use every day.

Decorative Vases You Fill Yourself

If you already have a favourite bunch in mind, choose from our curated selection of decorative vessels. These are the pieces our team reaches for in the studio: the coral and white round vase for soft pastel posies, the medium off-white ceramic fluted bowl for low-set table arrangements, and the tall white frosted bottle for single dramatic stems. Every vase here has been picked because it actually works with flowers, not just as standalone decor.

Glass Flower Vases

Glass is the most versatile vessel a flower vase can be. It shows off stems and water clearly, suits almost any room, and reads as quietly luxurious without trying too hard. Our glass vase range covers everything from slim bud bottles for single roses to wide-mouth cylinders for full-bodied bouquets. The medium white frosted bottle and tall white frosted bottle are favourites for spring stems and minimalist styling. For a fuller breakdown of which flowers suit which vase shape, our guide to your perfect bouquet of flowers walks through the pairings our florists use most.

Ceramic, Fluted and Frosted Vase Styles

Ceramic flower vases bring weight, warmth, and texture in a way glass cannot. The fluted profile of the medium off-white ceramic fluted bowl catches light beautifully on a sideboard. The yellow and white bobble vase adds a softer, almost playful note for kitchens and reading nooks. Pair these with seasonal stems for a finished look, or use them as standalone pieces in our fabulous home decor collection.

Large Flower Vases for Statement Arrangements

For entrance halls, boardroom tables, and event installations, scale changes everything. Browse our large vases for sale for the pieces our florists pull when an arrangement needs to anchor a room. The large round blue dot planter handles tall, structured stems with ease. These are the same vessels we use when styling for weddings and corporate installations.

Small Flower Vases for Single Stems and Posies

A small flower vase is the easiest entry point into floral styling at home. One stem on a bedside table. Three peonies on a writing desk. A few sprigs of eucalyptus by the bathroom mirror. The yellow and white bobble vase is perfect for short-stemmed posies, and the coral and white round vase suits a single dramatic bloom. Browse our bathroom decor collection for ideas on bringing small vase arrangements into less obvious rooms.

Artificial Flower Stems for a Vase That Never Wilts

If you want a flower vase that stays beautiful month after month, our artificial flowers for sale range is built for it. These are not the dusty silk arrangements of the 1990s. Our eucalyptus cream artificial flowers, lambs ear grey-green artificial flowers, magnolia dark mauve artificial flowers, olive branch green artificial flowers, and rose summer soft pink artificial flowers are botanically accurate, designed to be styled like real stems, and easy to refresh seasonally. For a pre-styled silk option, the pretty bunch of silks is ready to set down straight from the box. Read our take on creative uses for artificial flowers and the best artificial flowers for home decor before you choose.

Vase Arrangements as Gifts for Every Occasion

A vase arrangement is one of the only gifts that keeps giving every time someone walks past it. Send a vase of roses for an anniversary through our anniversary flowers, brighten a recovery with get well soon flowers, mark a milestone with birthday flowers, or simply send something just because. For larger gift moments, pair the arrangement with a curated gift box or one of our gift hampers. For housewarming, our housewarming gifts collection includes vase-ready arrangements that suit a new home.

How to Choose the Right Vase for Your Flowers

After 25 years of arranging, our florists follow three simple rules. First, match the vase height to roughly twice the flower stem length, give or take. Second, narrow openings hold structured stems upright while wide openings let stems fall naturally. Third, match the formality of the vase to the formality of the flower. A peony belongs in something soft and pale. A protea wants something with weight. For more depth, our blog on high-quality roses for all occasions and where can I get flowers walks through the choices we make every day.

Not Sure What to Choose?

Start with the room. A bright living area suits glass and pale ceramics. A study or boardroom wants weight and shape, so reach for our larger statement pieces. A bathroom or bedside table calls for something small and soft. If you are sending the vase as a gift, choose a ready-made vase arrangement so the recipient can put it down and walk away.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best vase for cut flowers?

The best vase depends on the flower. A heavy-headed stem like a peony or hydrangea needs a vase with a narrow neck to hold the stem upright. Long-stemmed roses do well in a tall cylinder or column vase. For mixed seasonal bouquets, a wide-mouth ceramic or glass vessel gives stems room to fall naturally. As a rough rule, the vase should be roughly half the height of the tallest stem.

Can I order flowers already arranged in a vase?

Yes. Every arrangement in our anniversary, birthday gifts, and flowers ranges can be ordered hand-styled in a vase, watered, and finished by our florists. You do not need to trim, arrange, or transfer anything. The vase is included in the price. Order before 12 pm for same-day delivery in Cape Town or Johannesburg.

What vase styles do you stock?

We stock glass, ceramic, fluted, frosted, bobble, planter-style, and large statement vases. Glass vases are our most versatile range. Ceramic fluted and frosted styles suit softer, more textured arrangements. Large vases are built for boardroom tables, entrance halls, and event installations. Small vases work for single stems and bedside posies.

How long do flowers last in a vase?

Most fresh flowers last 5 to 10 days in a vase with proper care. Change the water every two days, trim the stems at an angle, keep the vase out of direct sunlight, and remove any leaves that sit below the water line. Roses, chrysanthemums, and lilies typically last longer than peonies and tulips. Our guide to taking care of flowers in a vase covers this in detail.

How much does a flower vase cost in South Africa?

Decorative vases on our site start from R299 for smaller ceramic and glass pieces and rise to R1,800 plus for large statement vessels. Ready-made vase arrangements start from R549 and include both the flowers and the vase. Pricing depends on size, material, and whether the vase is sold filled or empty.

Do you deliver vase arrangements on the same day?

Yes. Same-day vase arrangement delivery runs across Cape Town and Johannesburg on orders placed before 12 pm Monday to Saturday. Decorative vases sold without flowers and our artificial silk stem range ship nationwide as gift boxes within 2 to 4 business days.
