Eiffel Tower Vase – Ideas for Glass Vase Centerpieces

An Eiffel tower vase is a popular decorative piece in parties, corporate events, or wedding ceremonies.

Flower arrangements in tower vases like the Eiffel or trumpet vase give off an elegant and stylish feel that will surely impress your guests. They are the perfect match to your beautiful table linens.

Eiffel tower vases come in different heights, ranging from eight inches to thirty-two inches.

They are made of sturdy glass with a heavy bottom to ensure that they don’t tip over – a reason why a lot of florists favor them. They are also available in different colors. Aside from the clear glass Eiffel and frosted glass, other colors that never go out of style are cobalt, black, and amethyst
blue.

 Adding Eiffel tower centerpieces to your party decorations:

• Start with choosing the right flowers. It may be better to use flowers that are in season, as they are easier to obtain and will last longer. However, if you can manage to procure flowers that are out of season, these can leave a luxurious feeling for your guests. If the special event is going to be held in the winter, you may have to settle for flowers that are imported from other countries. The florist may also be able to advise you on the best flowers to use.

• Decide on the colors you want to use. If you’d like to stay true to the vase’s name then you might want to use Eiffel tower centerpieces in the colors of France, namely white, red, and blue. If you choose to go down this route then white asters, red roses, and blueberries would look stylish. Using lavenders combined with purple flowers like phlox, orchids, and pansies would also look French.

• Make sure that the flowers you choose are of the right height. With the Eiffel tower glass coming to a sharp point, choose flowers that allow your guests to see the actual vase. It would be a good idea to use long thin flowers such as long stemmed roses and calla lilies to give emphasis to the vase’s height.

• You can use ostrich feathers with the vase. The fluffy ostrich plumes create a palm tree effect.

• Use other materials and accessories. You can make the arrangement more stunning by using other plant materials. You can place stick twigs on the sides of the vase to give emphasis on the vase’s different floors.

• Tie red, white, and blue sashes around the middle of the base and make a big bow out of them.

• Place the tall glass vase on top of a mirror. This will make the arrangement seem thicker and the vase seem taller. Just ensure that the vase is securely attached to the table so that it doesn’t tip over.

• You can also use tall cylinder vases as candle holders, and add these to your floral display.

• Another way to incorporate lighting into your flower arrangement is by putting lights at the bottom of your ostrich feather centerpiece. This highlights your vase and the arrangement and also serves as a romantic backlight to the reception. For this, you can use LED vase illuminator lights or floralytes.

• You can combine Eiffel tower centerpieces with trumpet vases. Trumpet vases are wider at the top where the lip sometimes curve around the edge whereas Eiffel towers are thin and have no lip. Trumpet vases are great if you want to use fillers such as confetti, gems, or marbles. You can then put a decorative plate on top of the vase and your flower arrangement at the very top.

There are so many ways you can use a tall cylinder vase to enhance the decorations in the room. One thing for sure, though, is that you’ll never go wrong with an Eiffel tower vase.
