We asked some of our favorite Kansas City florists to share how they would fill their favorite G&P vases this Valentine's Day, and we loved their answers! There were a few clear crowd favorites, are those your favorites too? Scroll on down for all the floral + vase inspiration.
"I love the Wenger vase because of the interesting form, smooth exterior and warm neutral color. I would pair something simple but sculptural with this piece, probably a bunch of white calla lilies to compliment the simplicity, while adding shape and dimension. Or to contrast that, something draping down the curve of the vase like a grouping of green hanging amaranthus may be nice as well."
-Ferrell Richardson, Cottage Rose
“All the Golden & Pine vessels are fantastic home decor accent pieces but personally, I am instantly drawn to the Kazi vases!. I would pair this vessel with orange Banksia flowers for a little color and architectural contrast. Or alternatively tall, billowy grey Pampas grass for a monochromatic moment and to compliment Kazi’s sleek, modern design!. In spring, a local foraged flowering branch would be the chefs kiss to top of this statement piece. With the Kazi vase, whatever blooms you choose, you won’t go wrong!”
-Jami Block, Floral Frontier
"My favorite blooms for a simple glass bud vases are ranunculus--you only need 2-3 stems per vase for a beautiful and effortless statement. I love being able to see the stems to fully appreciate the flower in its entirety."
-Rebecca Ederer, Beco Flowers

"I also love the terracotta crock because of the versatile nature, bold color and wide opening. For this piece, I would use hellebores, an early spring flower, maybe in green or burgundy to provide a nice contrast and create a whimsical shape. Or it may be cool to design an arrangement of brown flowers like toffee roses to enhance the terracotta tone and create a monochromatic look."
-Ferrell Richardson, Cottage Rose
"The Kazi vase would be amazing filled with blooming spring branches like quince, forsythia, or cherry branches. Branches are, by nature, architectural and long lasting and will provide interest before, during and after they have bloomed."
-Rebecca Ederer, Beco Flowers
"I love using all one type of flower for a big design impact, especially ones with interest that add to the artpiece of the vessel. For these vases, I think an alternative flower could be interesting like Garlic Scapes."
-Colleen Monroe, Floraloom
