How to Arrange Flowers in the Lettuce Leaf Vase (and Petite!) in 4 Effortless Steps

Posted by Margaret Dillard on

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the idea of arranging flowers, we have good news: it doesn’t have to be complicated. At Half Past Seven, we believe that beauty belongs in the everyday—and our signature Lettuce Leaf Vase and Petite Lettuce Leaf Vase are designed to make floral arranging easy, intuitive, and stunning.

Whether you're styling a fresh farmer’s market bouquet or a handful of blooms from your backyard, these vases - and our 1-1-1 Method: One Vase. One Bloom. One Cut.  - take the guesswork out of arranging. No florist skills needed - just a few blooms and a few minutes.

Let’s break it down in 4 steps: 


Step 1: Grab Your Lettuce Leaf Vase (or Petite)

Our Lettuce Leaf Vase is a fan favorite for a reason. Its softly fluted rim and organic silhouette naturally guide your flowers into a full, balanced shape. The Petite Lettuce Leaf Vase offers the same charm in a smaller size—perfect for bedside tables, small shelves, or pairing with its larger sibling.

Step 2: Pick Your Favorite Bloom

Yes—just one kind. That’s all you need. Whether it’s tulips, ranunculus, sweet peas, or garden roses, choosing one type of flower keeps things simple and elegant.

Step 3: Give Them One Clean Cut

Gather your stems and trim them all to the same height. One straight, clean cut across the bottom is all it takes. This step ensures they sit just right inside the vase, making the most of its unique shape.

Step 4: Drop Them In and Let the Vase Do the Rest

No arranging required. Simply place the flowers into the vase and watch them fall naturally into place. The clever design does the work for you—holding your stems upright and creating a full, effortless arrangement in seconds.



Why It Works

The secret behind the Lettuce Leaf Vase is its sculptural form and gently petaled rim. These features naturally support stems, guiding them into a loose, organic arrangement—especially when the flowers are all trimmed to the same height. With just one kind of flower and one quick cut, you can achieve a look that feels thoughtfully styled in seconds.

Whether you’re filling your dining table, gifting a friend, or bringing life to a quiet corner, the Lettuce Leaf Vase makes floral styling beautifully foolproof.
