Eco Vase for In-Season Flowers

Sunflower season is just around the corner and you’ll need a tall vase to accommodate their size. This unique Recycled Bottle is just right. Rio de Janeiro based crafter Sylvia Magalhaes, recycles a champagne bottle, wrapping it with different colored cotton. The result is a gorgeous Mediteranean inspired vase.
Sunflowers are a great choice for summer bouquets since they are in season. Just like fruits and vegetables, choosing flowers that are in season and locally grown is the eco-friendly way to go. You’ll support local flower farmers and cut down on the carbon cost needed to ship out-of-season flowers from another climate.
While the yellow, brown and green of sunflowers matches perfectly with this bottle, brighter blooms can offer a fun accent. Lilies, another tall summer bloom, would also work well in this recycled bottle vase.
