Vases for dried flowers

Vases for pampas grass and dried flowers

Dried flowers do not need water, so their vase does not need to be watertight. That opens the door to matte ceramic, textured shapes and vintage metal. Our pampas grass vases and dried-flower vases come in soft white, cream, sand and grey ceramic, small matte black and teal shapes, and a blue-grey metal jug with a distressed finish.

How to arrange dried flowers

Start with tall structure stems such as pampas or grasses, add airy filler like bunny tails or gypsophila, then finish with a few focal stems in odd numbers, slightly off-centre. Tall narrow vases suit pampas; small vases suit single stems. Read our step-by-step guide to arranging dried flowers in a vase.

Making dried flowers last

Keep the arrangement out of direct sunlight, which fades colours, and away from damp rooms. Dust it gently with a hairdryer on its coolest setting. To stop pampas from shedding, shake the plumes outside and mist them lightly with hairspray.
