Top 22 Bud Vases
Every florist on this earth has had the client come to them, me included, with this statement: “Can we just do a few bud vases on each table?”
If your tables are 30″ round high boys, sure. I’d love to make some banging bud vases and decorate those cocktail tables like there is no tomorrow. Although, more often than not, the tables in question are 60″ or 72″ rounds. A few bud vases in the center of a dining table that large is going to look….empty. So empty. Almost, sad even.
They only work as the main centerpiece if they are used in abundance (nine or more, which at that point, same price as a compote design), or extremely modern and minimal ON PURPOSE (not to just save money). My favorite use for bud vases are accents: throw a few on the ends of a long rectangle table to fill in the space or style them underneath an elevated design to bring flowers to eye level. Also: bathrooms, accent the escort table, side tables in a lounge, and cocktail tables.
Here are some examples where we used bud vases as fill-in for tables. In bulk, like the white and blue image, the bud vases work because they are all the same white color (see #1 below for my top secret source for the best and cheapest bud vases) and hold bold, short florals. In the photo with the palm, we wanted to bring some color and shine to the table. We needed to leave room for family style platters, so clear bud vases spray painted gold were the way to go.
Here, bud vases were used to bring nature to a buffet table. Don’t forget about the food displays! They need floral love too. Bud vases are small, inexpensive, and the perfect way to do that:
My favorite top 22 bud vases. Why 22? Who knows. That was the number that I could find shopable on the web that I liked and weren’t $75 per bud vase. Because that’s crazytown.
