Vase Accessories

A vase is dressed as much as it is filled: the bottom shows through the glass and sets the look of the whole piece. Our selection brings together loose or ball moss, crystals and artificial snow, by the bag or by weight.

The base before the stem

An arrangement holds better when the bottom of the vase keeps it in place. Moss, loose or in balls, wedges the stems of artificial flowers and hides their base. Crystals do the opposite: they let light through and add sparkle in clear glass. Check the width of the neck before choosing, as a narrow neck calls for a fine material.

Snow, a seasonal decoration

Artificial snow comes in a bag or loose, depending on the surface you want to cover. At the bottom of a vase, it dresses the base of a branch. On a tray or under a Christmas scene, it serves as a blanket and evens out the bumps. Store it away from moisture between winters, it can be reused the following year.

Matching the material to the glass

In a clear vase, the filler is part of the decor: choose a tone close to that of the flowers for a calm look, or a bold contrast to catch the eye. In an opaque vase or a bowl, the material only serves to hold the arrangement, and moss is then more than enough.

Frequently asked questions

Should I put water in the vase?

No, these accessories go with artificial flowers and plants, and water would damage both the moss and the snow. The vase stays dry.

How much should I plan for a vase?

Allow enough to cover the bottom to a finger's depth for a simple decoration, and more if the material needs to hold tall stems in place. The vase's capacity is listed on its own product page.

Can the moss be seen through the glass?

Yes, in a clear vase it is fully visible. That is why it comes loose, for a natural look, and in balls, for a more graphic design.
