Flowers arriving in their own vase solve the problem nobody thinks about when they send a bouquet: whether there is anything at the other end to put it in.
Flowers in a Vase — Questions We Are Asked
When is a vase worth it?
When the recipient is at work, in a hotel, newly moved, elderly, or simply not the sort of person who owns three vases. It is also the right call for an office reception or a hospital, where nobody has time to arrange anything. The vase stays afterwards, which makes it a gift that outlives the flowers — and reusable rather than thrown away, if that matters to you.
Is a vase arrangement the same as a basket?
No. A basket arrangement is built into wet florist’s foam and needs a little water poured on every second day. A vase arrangement stands in water like an ordinary bouquet, so you change the water rather than top up foam, and you can re-cut the stems as the days go on. Baskets are more stable in transit; vases last a little longer and can be rearranged.
How much water should the vase have?
Two-thirds full for most bouquets, and change it every two days rather than topping it up — bacteria in old water is what shortens vase life more than anything else. Woody stems and thirsty flowers like sunflowers and hydrangeas want it deeper; tulips are happy with less. Strip any leaf that would sit under the waterline.
Can I ask for a vase with any bouquet?
Yes — this collection is small, so if you want a particular bouquet delivered in a vase rather than one of these, leave it in the order notes or message us before ordering and we will price it for you. Order by 10 PM for same-day delivery in London and Greater London.
