In scorching summer, the heat can easily make us anxious and even affect our working efficiency. However, summer is also a season of sunshine and enthusiasm, where blooming flowers exude a pleasant fragrance, refreshing the air. By using glass vases, flowers can be completely displayed on the table, allowing us to enjoy their overall beauty amidst our busy routines as they will magically freshen the sweltering summer days. Here are some tips on choosing the right vases with flowers for summer and creating a fresh atmosphere.
Benefits of Glass Vases
- Transparency
Glass vases can give you a clear and transparent view, allowing the natural beauty of the flowers to shine through. The vibrant colors and graceful lines of the stems create an appealing display that provides visual delight and inner tranquility for everyone.
- Versatility
Regardless of the color of the glass vase, its transparency ensures that it never overshadows the focal point, the flowers. Understated and minimalist in design, it sets off blooming flowers. The glass vase effortlessly matches various decor styles of the room and even when it's not holding flowers, it is still a stylish decorative item. Glass vases come in smooth or intricately designed shapes, allowing sunlight to refract through the glass and create dazzling colors on the tabletop. In an instant, the vase transforms into a fleeting romantic spectacle with light in ever-changing shapes.
- Easy Maintenance
The transparent and visible glass vase allows you to monitor the water level at any time so that the flowers have an adequate water supply. In the meanwhile, you can enjoy the vibrant stems too. Simultaneously, any dirt or residue inside the vase can be easily spotted, facilitating regular cleaning and maintenance, which helps create a clean and fresh environment for the flowers and prolongs their lifespan. This is particularly important during summer when higher temperatures can accelerate bacteria growth and affect the longevity of flowers.

Find Your Flowers and Vase
- Flowers
Choose flowers that can withstand the hot summer, such as peonies, tulips, calla lilies, and baby's breath. Even in the heat, these flowers maintain their freshness and bloom for a longer duration. And choose flowers with refreshing and vibrant colors, like white, light blue, light purple, and yellow. For example, sunflowers, roses, and hydrangeas are excellent choices to add a cheerful and pleasant atmosphere to indoor spaces. You can also consider plants with cooling and fragrant qualities, such as mint and lavender.
- Vases
Glass vases come in various shapes and sizes to cater to different styles of floral arrangement. To evoke coolness, it is recommended to avoid overly intricate designs. In a minimalistic design, clear and transparent vases create a calming and peaceful atmosphere, while colored glass designs attract more attention, but the decor style of the room should be taken into account.
- Combination
Generally, tall and narrow vases are for long-stemmed and few flowers, while shallow and wide vases are for more abundant bouquets with enthusiasm and vibrancy. By including flowers of varying heights with green foliage in the vase, you can create a sense of depth and bring vigor to the arrangement.
Tips to Create A Refreshing Feeling
- Green Foliage
Green symbolizes vitality and freshness. You can select some tender green foliage to embellish the floral arrangement, adding more green leaves for a more natural look, and bringing a cool and refreshing feeling.
- Flower Stem Styling
Being transparent and visible, the visual appeal of vase flowers extends beyond just the top of the flowers to include the entire length of the stems. As a result, it is important to pay attention to the shape of the stems within the vase when arranging flowers. Additionally, you can use green leaves to create unique and distinctive styles in the vase!
- Water Change
With higher temperatures in summer, it is recommended to check the vase daily and change the water every 1 to 2 days to prevent the accumulation of bacteria and dirt that can affect the longevity of the flowers. This helps maintain the freshness and cleanliness of the glass vase, ensuring that the flowers remain vibrant and beautiful for a longer period of time.
- Decoration
Flowers in glass vases should be kept cool indoors, away from direct sunlight, to maintain their freshness. Also, you can enhance the cool and comfortable atmosphere by placing green decorative pieces or green plants nearby.
