This is the flower arrangement I was speaking about yesterday. Red gladiolas and pink lillies. I saved the ends of the gladiolas after I trimmed them, and ended up using the tips of the parts I removed in my smaller vases. (Vases from Simon Pearce.)
We have a very high ceiling, so I like putting tall things on our mantle - gladiolas work - so do ornamental grasses, pussy willows, evergreen sprigs, anything with lots of height.
Although I love and appreciate all flowers, this arrangement looks quite outstanding in this space. I love making mini arrangements in the smaller vases, too.
I actually have six mini glass vases (three on each side) beside the chimney space, but I did not take a wide enough photo for you to see them. If I have a particularly large amount of flowers I like to put one flower in each of these glass vases. Our mantle ends up being full of life and water, which sets a nice tone in our living space.
