Yurika Moriya is a Tokyo-born floral artist based in Paris, known for her poetic, sculptural arrangements shaped by Japanese minimalism and European elegance. In this guide, she shares her approach to choosing the right vase, creating harmony within a bouquet, and arranging flowers with balance and intention.
How to choose the right vase for flowers
"I usually choose the vase in response to the flowers, rather than the other way around. Neutral tones such as white, soft grey, or green are versatile and timeless. For a quiet, harmonious result, select flowers in a similar colour range to the vase.
For a subtle contrast, introduce a single accent—orange flowers in a blue vase, for example. TRE vases are well suited to beginners: white feels light and pure, grey is modern and restrained, and amber adds warmth without excess."
"Harmony comes from the delicate balance between flowers, foliage and colour. For best results, limit the composition to two to four varieties to keep your arrangement clear and intentional. Mixing texture and silhouettes adds movement, while expressive elements like foliage add character to your arrangement without adding unnecessary volume."
"View your arrangement as a whole in addition to paying attention to the details. Starting with branches or large elements makes it easier to achieve balance. Observing the silhouette of each flower and making small adjustments to the height and orientation makes the composition more lively and considered."
How to care for a flower bouquet
"Trim the stems with pruning shears or a florist’s knife, change the water regularly to prevent bacteria from growing, and place the flowers away from direct sunlight and draughts. The flowers will remain beautiful until the end of their life, so enjoy them to the fullest."
How to use TRE vases for creative floral arrangements
"The U-shaped TRE vases stimulate creativity: even a single stem is enough to create a beautiful arrangement. Held securely at the base, longer stems create quiet, sculptural lines. I appreciate the asymmetry and poetic playfulness TRE vases allow for creative expression."
By observing the character of each stem and adjusting its placement with care, you learn how small changes in height, direction, and spacing can transform the composition. Through this thoughtful process, each arrangement with TRE gradually takes on its own unique expression.
At our SS26 Launch Event in Paris, floral artist Yurika Moriya hosted a workshop on the art of floral arrangement. Guests explored how balance, colour, and silhouette come together to create a harmonious bouquet, while discovering the creative possibilities of TRE vases.
