Mother's Day Flowers and Vases

Arranging your own flowers remains the freest gesture: you choose each stem, match it to the vase, adjust the volume. This selection brings together our artificial flowers sold individually, roses, ranunculus, dahlias, hydrangeas and peonies, along with the foliage that sets them off.

The vase decides the stem

A vase looks well filled when the flowers rise above it by about half its height. A narrow neck holds a handful of straight stems, a wide neck calls for more material and some foliage to fill the edges. Consider transparency too: clear glass shows the stems, ceramic hides them.

Mix flower shapes

A lively bouquet combines three roles. Round flowers, the rose and the peony, provide volume. Pointed flowers or those still in bud, the ranunculus and the dahlia, break the regularity. Foliage, eucalyptus first and foremost, ties everything together and lightens the whole. The same flower repeated identically remains decorative, but the result looks more static.

Bouquets that last through the seasons

These stems never wilt, which changes how you treat them: you can keep a bouquet in place for a long time and make it evolve by replacing two or three stems. Store the flowers you set aside flat, in a box, so the petals do not lose their shape.

Frequently asked questions

Should I put water in the vase?

No, these flowers are artificial. A dry vase avoids limescale marks on the glass and keeps the stems intact.

What stem length for a table?

A short stem that lets guests see each other. On a table, a low bouquet is more pleasant than a tall arrangement the eye has to look around.

How do I store a bouquet out of season?

Flat, in a box, with the heads offset from one another. Reshape the petals by hand when you take it out again.
