I'm using Twitter Bootstrap 3, and I have problems when I want to align vertically two div, for example — JSFiddle link:

<!-- Latest compiled and minified CSS -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.4/css/bootstrap.min.css">

<!-- Optional theme -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.4/css/bootstrap-theme.min.css">

<!-- Latest compiled and minified JavaScript -->
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.4/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<div class="row">
  <div class="col-xs-5">
    <div style="height:5em;border:1px solid #000">Big</div>
  </div>
  <div class="col-xs-5">
    <div style="height:3em;border:1px solid #F00">Small</div>
  </div>
</div>

The grid system in Bootstrap uses float: left, not display:inline-block, so the property vertical-align doesn't work. I tried using margin-top to fix it, but I think this is not a good solution for the responsive design.

The below code worked for me:

.vertical-align {
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
}

This is my solution. Just add this class to your CSS content.

.align-middle {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
}

Then your HTML would look like this:

<div class="col-xs-12 align-middle">
  <div class="col-xs-6" style="background-color:blue;">
    <h3>Item</h3>
    <h3>Item</h3>
  </div>
  <div class="col-xs-6" style="background-color:red;">
    <h3>Item</h3>
  </div>
</div>


.align-middle {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
}

            <h3>Item</h3>
            <h3>Item</h3>
          </div>
          <div class="col-xs-6" style="background-color:red;">
            <h3>Item</h3>
          </div>
        </div>

Flex behaviors are natively supported since Bootstrap 4. Add d-flex align-items-center in the row div. You no longer need to modify your CSS content.

Simple example: http://jsfiddle.net/vgks6L74/

<!-- language: html -->
<div class="row d-flex align-items-center">
  <div class="col-5 border border-dark" style="height:10em">  Big </div>
  <div class="col-2 border border-danger" style="height:3em"> Small </div>
</div>

With your example: http://jsfiddle.net/7zwtL702/

<!-- language: html -->
<div class="row d-flex align-items-center">
    <div class="col-5">
        <div class="border border-dark" style="height:10em">Big</div>
    </div>
    <div class="col-2">
        <div class="border border-danger" style="height:3em">Small</div>
   </div>
</div>

For latest version of bootstrap you can use align-items-center. Use align-items utilities on flexbox containers to change the alignment of flex items on the cross axis (the y-axis to start, x-axis if flex-direction: column). Choose from start, end, center, baseline, or stretch (browser default).

<div class="d-flex align-items-center">
    ...
</div>

Try this,

.exe {
  font-size: 0;
}

.exe > [class*="col"] {
  display: inline-block;
  float: none;
  font-size: 14px;
  font-size: 1rem;
  vertical-align: middle;
}
<link href="//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.2/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<div class="row  exe">
   <div class="col-xs-5">
      <div style="height:5em;border:1px solid grey">Big</div>
   </div>
   <div class="col-xs-5">
       <div style="height:3em;border:1px solid red">Small</div>
   </div>
 </div>

I've spent a lot of time trying solutions from here and none of them helped me. After a few hours, I belive this will allow u to center vert any child element in BS3.

CSS

.vertical-center {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  justify-content: center;
}

HTML

<div class="col-md-6 vertical-center">
    <div class="container">
        <div class="row">
        </div> 
    </div>   
</div>
