A Blue and White Floral Design in a Ming-inspired Vase | Hydrangea, Snowballs, Magnolia and Berries

Often, I am asked what flowers & colours work well in Chinese-styled blue and white Ming inspired vases. The simple answer is stick with the blue and white and you’ll never get lost… TBH, there is something ageless and timeless about this combination, which never fails to look good in any room/décor! When it comes to styling your blooms, I think a lot depends on the type.
Tulips will gracefully cascade out and down, freesias will sit tall and stately, rose will open and fill the spaces, hydrangeas will simply reign and magnolia, I cut branches drop them in and let them find their place.
In today’s design, I want to display a combination of blue berries with blue and white hydrangea, white magnolia and to bring in a touch of harmonising green, spring snowballs.

Very well done, Astar! It looks like a Chinese painting to me because it’s a great balance of organic/natural and visually balanced! Very pretty, and I hope it helps people use their blue and white china! I love that combo so much!

This is so timely. I'm doing a blue and white ginger jar. Thank you very much.

The best things a lot of people could do is to learn about color. Knowing what colors work well together and not go overboard with adding too much is so helpful. You use just the right colors and you know just how much to use. Cheers!

I was just given by my sister a large blue and white vase and I added some fresh orange lilies that I purchased at trader Joe's and they really look beautiful even my husband is enjoying the new addition to our decor.
