If the vase's mouth is too narrow, it will squeeze and damage your stems. Let's look at various shapes of vases for the centerpiece and which flower would be best for them.

Bud Vase

End Note

For a medium vase (six to eight inches tall), you can compensate for the mouth of the vase with varied sizes of blooms. A tall vase (eight to twelve inches tall ) would look best with long, heavy stems like hydrangeas, sunflowers, etc.
