Can You Use Acrylic Vases for Fresh Wedding Flowers?

There is no horticultural reason to avoid acrylic vases for fresh flowers. The only consideration is weight: acrylic is lighter than glass, so tall arrangements may be more prone to tipping.

Solutions

• Weight the vase with marbles, stones, or colored water.
• Choose a wider, stable vase design.
• Use a floral foam mechanic anchored to the vase.

Communicate with Your Florist

Ask why they object. Many florists now use acrylic/plastic to reduce costs. If they're unwilling to collaborate on your vision, consider finding a florist who will work within your budget and style.
