5 Easy Ways to Style the Flora Vessels, From a Stylist’s Perspective

The Flora Vessels collection from Twenty Third by Deanne holds a special place in my heart. Inspired by a sourcing journey through the villages of Bali, each piece reflects the natural beauty and craftsmanship of the island. 

We named them Flora Vessels because they’re perfect for showcasing nature—whether it’s local branches, wildflowers, or simply their own sculptural forms. These handmade terracotta vessels bring warmth and an organic feel to any space. Here are five personal tips to style your Flora Vessels and make them a meaningful part of your home.

1. Mix and Match Sizes and Shapes

A winning formula for styling is to combine different sizes and shapes of the vessels. You can create an effortless display by selecting a tall, medium, and small vessel. Place them together as a trio for a striking visual, and watch as the heights and contours complement each other. According to an expert, “Literally put a combination of any three, and they would look awesome!”

2. Use Local Botanicals for Natural Appeal

For a truly organic and cohesive look, opt for local, seasonal branches or flowers. When out on a hike or even during a walk in your neighborhood, keep an eye out for interesting shapes and textures in nature. One stylist mentions, “I love to observe and look at the shapes that are growing. It’s much more of a preference to find something local and trim it.”

Choosing botanicals that reflect the curves of your vessel creates harmony between the arrangement and the vessel itself. For example, wide-neck vessels allow you to display lush, full branches, while narrow-neck ones are better for minimalistic arrangements.

3. Anchor Heavy Arrangements

If you’re working with large, heavy branches, stability is key. The heavier terracotta vessels can hold weighty branches better, but it’s always a good idea to add sand, rocks, or water to keep the arrangement balanced. This simple tip ensures that your tall branches stand upright and maintain a well-proportioned look.

4. Start with the Largest Branch

When creating an arrangement, always start with your largest or most prominent branch. This piece will set the tone and direction for the entire display. “I always start with my biggest branch first, because that will guide where you should add the rest of the smaller branches,” the expert advises.

For added movement, place branches with beautiful curves off to the side. This helps draw the eye and adds a sense of flow to the display.

5. Keep the Color Palette Neutral

When using the terracotta vessels, try sticking to a neutral color palette for a chic, cohesive look. For instance, cow parsley or Queen Anne’s lace, commonly found growing along highways in Northern California, offers delicate white blooms that contrast beautifully with the warm tones of terracotta.

A wide-neck vessel is perfect for showcasing these blooms, allowing you to follow the natural shape of the plant while maintaining an airy, effortless style.

The Flora Vessels collection is designed to be versatile and timeless. With the right combination of shapes, botanicals, and careful arrangement, you can easily create stunning displays that elevate your home’s aesthetic. Keep these tips in mind as you experiment with your styling, and let your creativity shine!
