How to DIY Dark Teal & Burnt Orange Floral Vase Arrangements

Teal flowers are breathtaking with their brilliant blue-green radiance on their own. However, contrasting orange tones might give them a lovely boost if you wonder how to make them even more impressive. A wedding color scheme of burnt orange and dark teal gives you lots of room to play around with color to create vibrant, striking décor.

Using straightforward floral vase arrangements is one of the simplest ways to showcase these tones. The color combination, achieved by experimenting with tones and textures, produces a breathtaking visual effect that would look amazing on your dining room table or as a wedding décor.

Follow our detailed instructions on how to make your own DIY vase arrangements to find more ways to add flair to your burnt orange and dark teal wedding table decor. 

How Do You Make a Simple Floral Vase Arrangement? 

The most exquisite floral vase arrangements may appear intricate, yet with the correct proportions of complementary flowers and stems, even complete novices may produce stunning décor.

When merging various botanical components for a sophisticated and robust design, it’s best to start with a color scheme in mind, such as burnt orange and dark teal.

Don’t worry if this is your first time arranging flowers; we’ll teach you all the secrets to becoming an expert at making your floral vase arrangements in a few easy steps.

What Do I Need for DIY Flower Arrangements in a Vase?

Before you start creating, you’ll need a few basic supplies to replicate our striking burnt orange and dark teal vase arrangements:

  • ½ Box: Orange and Teal Green Designer Flower Box
  • Three Boxes: Burnt Orange & Teal Accent Combo
  • Six to twelve glass bottles or vases
  • Your Creative Spirit 
  • Sharp Shears or Scissors

With a choice of flowers, including red hydrangea, burnt orange avalanche rose, and teal green Austin rose, our designer flower boxes allow you to mix and match while maintaining a distinctive and unified style. Additionally, creating artificial flowers is quite forgiving. Our flowers keep their shape in all conditions and may be moved to the desired location, so you don’t have to bother about conditioning, watering, or withering.

How to Craft Your Floral Vase Arrangements

Step 1. Select Your Vase

Decide which vase to fill first. To have a consistent theme throughout our demonstration, we chose a variety of glass bottles in amber, teal, and clear hues that varied in height, shape, and texture for visual appeal.

You may source your vessels or use our pre-made glass vases in burnt orange and dark teal for décor. Thrift stores, estate sales, and grandma’s cabinets are great places to find a variety of glassware for a distinctive design.

DIY Tip: Wide-mouth vases, glasses, or mason jars can also be utilized with a bit of extra assistance to secure the design, such as tying the stems together below the rim or using a flower frog or floral foam for support. Smaller apertures make it easier to keep stems supported in place.

Step 2. Unpack Your Flowers and Greenery

Unpack your goods and place them on the table so you can easily see and access them. If you have them all together, it will be easier to see how you want to arrange the floral selections in the containers.

Step 3. Snip Your Stems

The long stems that come with our do-it-yourself flower boxes make it simple to use them for various floral arrangements. To ensure they fit precisely in the jars without exposing too much stem length, you should trim each stem to size for these desktop vase arrangements.

Considering the height required, hold each stem up to the vase as you lift it to determine the ideal location for the cut. For instance, long, delicate branches provide height and interest when kept long. However, thicker, rounder filler flowers could look acceptable at the mid to low level.

DIY Tip: As you experiment with different combinations, keep stems longer and be cautious with your early cuts. As you proceed, you can always shorten the stem length.

Step 4. Arrange Your Branches

In addition to adding beauty to your arrangement, branches provide structural support for the flowers, highlighting and keeping them in place.

Keep the following in mind when you place each branch in the vase:

  • Incorporate a range of hues, textures, and heights.
  • To enhance visual attractiveness, place the longest branches on the outside margins.
  • For a more organic appearance, bend and reposition the branches as necessary.

Try rearranging the pieces until you achieve the ideal appearance. For a burst of vibrant jewel tones, consider combining the round wintersweet and navy corn poppies with elegant long eucalyptus leaves.

Step 5. Place the Flowers in the Vase

Place one or two of your preferred focal point flowers within the jar using the branches as support. Selecting only a handful accentuates the textual components that each flower is paired with and lets each bloom shine.

Align the stems at the ideal angle, just like you would with the branches, for a beautiful, organic appearance. In contrast to the sharp edges of the small pine and thistle branches, the flowers soften the branches’ intriguing angles.

Step 6. Repeat For Each Vessel

And voilà! You’ve perfected the technique of creating a basic vase arrangement of flowers. The most beautiful vase arrangement centerpieces you’ve ever seen—not just because you fashioned them yourself—will result from repeating this process.

How can a floral vase arrangement be made to stand out truly? They can be scattered throughout the ceremony and reception area, or you can arrange them together for a striking effect. Bring them home after your wedding to make a vibrant arrangement for your kitchen table.

Ways to Display Your Vase Arrangements With Style

There are many ways to create original wedding décor using vase flower arrangements; our design is only one example. Don’t be afraid to “branch” out and try out several approaches to make your wedding color scheme of burnt orange and dark teal stand out:

Bring in Seasonal Influences

Why not add some fall fun to the wedding decor as well? Teal and orange are ideal for an early autumn wedding. Seasonal accents, including apples, pumpkins, maple leaves, and acorns, give your colorful harvest tables and reception décor a homey feel:

  • Your vase arrangements are displayed on trimmed logs of various heights for an intriguing visual impact with a rustic fall twist.
  • For a touch of elegance and nature, place delicate, vibrant leaf-shaped placemats beneath vintage china place settings.
  • Use your floral vase arrangements as a vibrant accent to dress up a dessert table laden with apple cider donuts and pumpkin pie pieces.

Try a Colorful Table Runner

Long tables of reclaimed wood should not be covered with an opaque tablecloth, especially if they have carved intricacies and shimmering wood grain. Try draping a teal or orange gauzy table runner, then arranging your lovely vase arrangements along the length of the table and a textured floral garland on top.

Lighten Up the Tablescape

There’s nothing like the atmosphere created by a candle flickering. The centerpieces will truly gleam with the light reflected from the glass vases when dark teal and burnt orange vase arrangements are paired with candles, adding even more visual interest:

  • Tapered candlesticks with striking complementary hues, such as deep blue, offer height and light while blending nicely with the palette.
  • The glass vases are lit from below by the soft illumination of tea lights.
  • When paired with a collection of burnt orange and dark teal vase arrangements, hurricane lamps give the tabletop an air of vintage charm.

Add Rose Petals for a Romantic Touch

Who says rose petals are exclusive to flower girls? To add softness and romance to your table settings and wedding decor, surround the floral vase arrangements with a scattering of champagne gold rose petals.

Customized Table Numbers

With personalized table numbers popping out from clustered vase arrangement centerpieces, you may tie in the fall vibe of your dark teal and burnt orange bridal palette. Use stylized calligraphy or colored cardboard, or mix things up by setting tables with relevant locations, like your favorite cities to visit as a couple, or seasonal symbols, like apples and acorns.

Unexpected personal touches are adored by guests, especially when they have a backstory!
