Why Choose Carnations for Tall Vase Arrangements?

Carnations (Dianthus caryophyllus) are beloved for their:
✔ Longevity – They last up to 3 weeks with proper care.
✔ Variety of Colors – Available in classic white, pink, red, purple, and even bi-colored varieties.
✔ Affordability – A cost-effective choice for large, lush arrangements.
✔ Versatility – Perfect for weddings, corporate events, and home decor.

When placed in tall vases, carnations create a striking vertical display, adding height and drama to any space.

Step-by-Step Guide: Styling Carnations in a Tall Vase

1. Select the Right Vase

• Choose a clear glass vase for a modern look or a ceramic vase for a rustic touch.

• Ensure the vase is tall enough (at least 12-18 inches) to support the stems while allowing blooms to cascade naturally.

2. Prepare the Carnations

• Trim stems at a 45-degree angle for better water absorption.

• Remove any leaves that will sit below the waterline to prevent bacterial growth.

3. Arrange with Structure & Balance

• Start with greenery (e.g., eucalyptus, ferns) to create a base.

• Add carnations in layers, placing taller stems in the center and shorter ones toward the edges.

• Mix colors for depth (e.g., white and pink carnations for a soft, romantic look).

4. Enhance with Fillers (Optional)

• Baby’s breath, waxflowers, or limonium add texture.

• For a minimalist look, use carnations alone in a monochromatic scheme.

5. Maintain for Longevity

• Change water every 2-3 days and re-trim stems slightly.

• Keep away from direct sunlight and drafts.
