15 Gorgeous Cocktail Glass Flower Arrangements Ideas

Did you know you can make gorgeous flower arrangements with cocktail glasses? Cocktail glasses come in various sizes and shapes. The most popular and what comes to mind for most people is a martini glass. It has a conical shape with a stem, though it can be found in the stemless variety as well. It turns out cocktail glasses like the martini glass are a fantastic way to produce flower arrangements. They are especially perfect for those arrangements that you'd like above eye level and off the table.

Say you've decided to clip some flowers from your garden or bought a clearance bouquet at the grocer, and when you go to put the flowers in your vase, it's not exactly what you had in mind. Don't give up so quickly! If you've got a cocktail glass on hand, there is a good chance you can make a stunning display using the cocktail glass as a vase.

Of course, one drawback to working with a cocktail glass for an arrangement would be the small space. Since they're designed to consume alcohol and not flower arrangements, it requires some creativity and forces you to work outside your comfort zone. But with a bit of patience, you can make a unique arrangement that really shines!
