Okay, starting small....love the cobalt blue bottles. Good size for a double "budvase". Can you try 2 flowers in it? Bright yellow roses or daisies would look pretty against the blue. In general, larger flowers should go at the base (makes a good focal point) and smaller ones like rose buds should be taller. Also for a container of that size, you don't want to use a flower that is too big like a sunflower.

Here's an example. I used a baby bottle for lack of container. Notice the tall greenery is about 1.5 times the height of the vase? That's sort of a general guide for beginners. I hope that was helpful. By no means am I an expert at this, so if it's not your taste, then you don't have to make exactly like that. I'll understand!
