Arabella gathers cream hydrangeas, ivory garden roses, pale peach ranunculus and soft mixed greenery into a single, quietly confident composition, finished with a full, peony-style softness. It is one of our most-loved arrangements, and the reason is simple: every bloom in it speaks the same restrained, ivory language.
The hydrangea anchors the piece. Native to East Asia and the Americas, it has been cultivated for centuries for its generous, cloud-like heads, and here its cream tone lends the arrangement its volume and its calm. Garden roses bring the heart of the design - descendants of the old European roses prized long before the modern hybrid, layered with dozens of petals that unfurl slowly and carry a gentle, classic rose scent. Long held as a symbol of love and quiet devotion, they give Arabella its romance without ever raising its voice. Among them, pale peach ranunculus and peony-style blooms add their tissue-thin, papery petals and a warmth that keeps the palette from feeling cool.
The colour story moves through cream, ivory and the faintest blush of peach, threaded with fresh greenery for contrast and life. The overall feeling is timeless and refined - a composition that suits a considered interior, a thoughtful gift, or a moment that calls for elegance rather than spectacle. It flatters anyone drawn to softness and understatement, and sits as comfortably in a private home as it does in a hospitality or event setting. For more in this register, our white and ivory flowers share the same editorial restraint, and Arabella holds a deserved place among our bestselling arrangements.
Each Arabella is hand-finished by our florists in the Amicis atelier in Dubai, arranged stem by stem so the proportions stay true. To keep it at its best, trim the stems on arrival, refresh the water every couple of days, and keep the arrangement out of direct sun and away from draughts.
