Beyond the Vase: 10 Unexpected Vessels for Your Botanical Stems

Beyond the Vase: 10 Unexpected Vessels for Your Botanical Stems

Here at GATHER FLORAL, we believe that beauty isn't confined to traditional vases. The true magic happens when you start to see your entire home as a potential canvas for your botanical finds. Our Botanical Stems are so versatile and full of character that they deserve to be displayed in equally unique ways.

So, let's think outside the box—or should we say, outside the vase! Unleash your inner stylist with these 10 unexpected vessels that will transform your GATHER FLORAL stems into conversation-starting decor.

  1. The Rustic Mug: That beautifully patterned ceramic mug sitting in your cupboard? It's the perfect cozy home for a small bunch of dried wheat or a single, sculptural protea.

  2. The Elegant Carafe: A glass water carafe or decanter offers a sleek, modern silhouette. Fill it with a monochromatic bunch of eucalyptus or pampas grass for a touch of minimalist chic.

  3. The Vintage Book: Hollow out an old, hardcover book (find one at a thrift store!) to create a secret niche for a low-profile arrangement of preserved ferns and moss.

  4. The Woven Basket: For a boho-chic vibe, place a cylindrical glass inside a wide, shallow basket and arrange your stems. It adds texture and warmth to any corner.

  5. The Laboratory Beaker: Embrace an industrial, apothecary-style look with a set of laboratory beakers. They are perfect for displaying a collection of single, striking stems like dried orchids or banksias.

...and 5 more! (We'll cover a vintage teapot, a wooden dough bowl, a colorful tote bag, a seashell, and even a hollowed-out gourd!).

The key is to have fun and experiment. Every GATHER FLORAL stem tells a story—make sure its vessel does too. Tag us on social media using #GatherYourStems to show us your creative displays!
