Pink hydrangeas in urn The white vase is quite possibly the most versatile piece in floral and home design.  It can be used in any style home, in countless ways.  Chances are that everyone has some sort of  white vase in their home.  Whether it’s an actual vase, a pitcher, an urn,  a bowl, a tureen, or a jar, there is bound to be a white vase laying around the house begging to be styled.  To welcome spring,  I collaborated with 15 talented designers in an Instagram challenge that showcased ways to style a white vase.  Our only instruction was to use a white vase, style it and photograph it.  The interpretation of a white vase was left to our discretion.  Today I am sharing with you our 15 ways to style a white vase, inspiration for you to use this spring as you welcome it into your home.

Kelley, Shauna and I all used fruit when we styled our vases.  Fruit and flowers go together naturally and are such an easy way to add interest to an arrangement.  I chose to use a white vase one of my best friends gave to me, I love it’s shape.  Pink roses and some eucalyptus would have been lovely on their own, but I wanted to add an unexpected pop.  I grew up in Southern California, so I added some clementines on bamboo skewers for sentiment.  This arrangement was so simple, anyone could put it together.  Give it a try!

Oscar, Sandra and Sheila show us how you can be creative with what you define as a white vase. Be creative and think outside the box.  Oscar’s use of tailored white bowls with his greens creates such a handsome contrast.  He makes me want to run out and purchase a bonsai tree! Sandra and her shell left me so inspired.  Not only are her flowers gorgeous, the shell is so unpredicted! I really have to hand it to Sheila, she was so ingenious with her vase choice! Well done you three!
