Many people may not realize it, but selecting a proper vase for your flowers is very important. A vase that is too large can cause the flowers to lean to one side. This can turn your beautiful bouquet into an eyesore. The size of the vase should be around one-third to one-half the width of the arrangement.

Sometimes it's ok to place small bouquets in tall skinny vases. This works best when dealing with flowers that tend to droop.
