Gerberas in Round Vases
-
For a stylish and sophisticated look, arrange gerbera daisies in bowl-shaped vases. Fishbowl-style vases are available for hire or may be purchased in bulk orders to keep costs down. Vases may be large or small depending on the look you wish to create. Try cube vases or placing flowers in small shot glasses, if you prefer. Place several gerbera daisies along with sprigs of foliage into larger bowls or put single gerbera flowers into smaller vases. Alternatively, fill the bowls with water, trim the stems off the daisies and float the gerbera heads on the surface of the water. Vases may be filled with attractive stones, pebbles or glass crystals with gerbera daisy heads placed on top.
Gerberas in Tall Vases
-
Make the most of the long stems of gerbera daisies while creating striking centerpieces. Hire tall, thin glass vases and place just a few gerbera flowers into each one for a simple but elegant look. Take care with the stems of gerberas because they are delicate and often require reinforcing with wire. Add trailing ivy or wrap ribbon around the stems of the vases for a creative look. Place vases on circular mirrors to add light and reflect the arrangement from beneath.

Gerbera Clusters and Scattered Centerpieces
-
Place cut gerbera daisies into foam bases that have been soaked in water and placed on ceramic dishes. The moisture will keep your gerberas fresh while the foam supports the flowers so that tightly clustered arrangements can be created. Other small flowers and daisies may be interspersed to add variety to the arrangement. Place tea lights around the base of the flower cluster for a twinkling evening look. Alternatively, hire square or circular mirrors and scatter gerbera daisy heads and glass crystals over the top for colorful, sparkling centerpieces that are fuss-free but eye-catching.
Rustic Gerbera Looks
-
Place gerbera arrangements in jam jars or in plant pots to create pretty centerpieces with character and charm. Combine gerberas with seasonal and local foliage, such as Queen Anne's lace, goldenrod or hostas, to add color and fullness to your centerpiece without adding to the cost. Tie ribbons around the jars or pots or place them on gingham cloth squares to complete the look. Alternatively, buy circular wreaths made of twig or woven palm and decorate them with gerbera daisies and foliage or pretty colored leaves to create rustic fall centerpieces. These could be complemented by positioning pillar candles in the center of the wreath or placing tea lights around it.
