Cupid's Crush — red roses, blush ranunculus and orchids in a sculptural vase. Romance with a modern edge, ready for same-day luxury flowers in Dubai.

Cupid's Crush draws together red roses, blush ranunculus, soft phalaenopsis orchids, pink hydrangeas, burgundy chrysanthemums and delicate anthurium accents — a study in romance with a distinctly modern temperament. Each bloom is chosen for its character, then layered with sculptural branches so the arrangement reads as composition rather than bouquet.

The red rose needs little introduction: cultivated for centuries and carried across Persian, Roman and Victorian traditions as the enduring emblem of love and devotion, it brings a gentle, classic fragrance and a velvety depth of colour. Around it, ranunculus — native to the Mediterranean and the Middle East — unfurls in tissue-fine, tightly whorled petals, lending a soft, almost weightless texture in pale blush. The phalaenopsis orchid, a tropical Asian bloom long associated with refinement and grace, arches in waxy ivory and pink, while hydrangea contributes its generous, cloud-like heads and the calm of summer gardens. Deep burgundy chrysanthemums, prized in East Asian culture for longevity and quiet strength, anchor the palette in berry, and the anthurium adds a sleek, sculptural gloss that keeps the whole piece contemporary. You can explore more of this signature style across our vase flower arrangements.

The colour story moves through crimson, blush pink, ivory and deep berry, creating a mood that feels feminine and assured at once — soft in its detail, confident in its structure. It suits a romantic gesture that wants to say something considered rather than expected, and settles beautifully into a living room, an entrance or a dressing table where it can hold the eye. For more in this spirit, see our red flower collection or browse the wider luxury flowers in Dubai edit.

Every Cupid's Crush is hand-finished by our florists in the Amicis atelier in Dubai and styled in a premium vase ready to display. 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.

Caring for your Cupid’s Crush

Cupid's Crush brings together thirsty and tender blooms, so keep the vase generously filled — the roses and hydrangea drink quickly, and the hydrangea in particular takes up water through its petals, so a light mist on warm days helps it stay full. Give the woody rose and hydrangea stems a fresh angled cut every couple of days so they can keep drinking, and handle the calla lily and ranunculus gently, as their soft, fleshy stems bruise and bend more easily than the rest. The gerberas prefer shallow, clean water and an upright stance, while the anthurium and orchid simply ask to be kept away from direct sun and cold draughts. Pinch off any spent chrysanthemum or carnation florets as they go, and the arrangement will keep its shape and balance as the longer-lasting blooms take centre stage.

A note on your specific blooms

  • Anthurium — Anthurium prefers warmth — keep it away from the cold and wipe the leaf gently.
  • Calla Lily — Re-cut the thick, fleshy stems on an angle and keep water shallow, as callas are prone to softening if stood too deep.
  • Carnation — Cut stems cleanly between the swollen leaf joints rather than through them, as carnations draw water best when the node itself is left intact.
  • Chrysanthemum — Chrysanthemum is sensitive to murky water — strip the lower leaves and refresh it often.
  • Gerbera — Gerbera has fragile stems — use shallow, clean water and support the heads.
  • Hydrangea — Hydrangea takes up water through its petals — mist the heads and keep the vase topped up.
  • Orchid — Keep orchid stems in cool, clean water away from ripening fruit, whose ethylene gas makes the blooms drop early.
  • Ranunculus — Cut the hollow stems straight across, not at an angle, and keep water shallow and fresh, as these stems sit soft and bruise or rot easily when submerged too deep.
  • Rose — Roses drink heavily — re-cut the stems at an angle every couple of days.

How long your flowers last

Expect Cupid's Crush to hold beautifully for roughly 5–7 days overall, with the most delicate blooms softening first and the structural ones carrying the arrangement well past a week. The hydrangea is the earliest to tire, drinking heavily and lasting around 4–7 days, with the gerberas (5–8 days) and roses (5–7 days) following close behind. At the other end, the anthurium, orchid and carnation are the quiet endurers, often staying crisp for two to three weeks after their neighbours have faded, while the calla lily, chrysanthemum and ranunculus settle in the middle at 7–14 days. The single most useful habit is to recut the stems at an angle and refresh the water every two days, which keeps the thirstier flowers fed and lets the longer-lasting ones show the full life Amicis intends.

The story behind these flowers

A closer look at the blooms gathered into this arrangement.

Anthurium

Origin

Rainforests of Colombia & Ecuador

Documented

By botanists in the 1870s

Fragrance

Virtually scentless

Symbolises

Hospitality, confidence & beauty

The anthurium's glossy, sculptural 'bloom' is in fact a modified leaf, with a poised tropical architecture few flowers can match. It lends Amicis designs a clean, modern edge — and one of the longest vase lives in the bouquet.

Calla Lily

Origin

Southern Africa

Cultivated since

Reached Europe in the 1600s

Fragrance

Virtually scentless

Symbolises

Grace, purity & devotion

Native to southern Africa, the calla's signature is not a petal at all but a single furled spathe wrapped around a slender golden spadix. That clean, sculptural curve is why it reads as architecture rather than bloom – one stem lends an Amicis arrangement quiet, modern poise.

Carnation

Origin

Mediterranean region

Cultivated since

Antiquity, over 2,000 years

Fragrance

Sweet and clove-like

Symbolises

Fascination, distinction & love

Crowned in wreaths and garlands across the ancient Mediterranean, the carnation has been cultivated for more than two thousand years. Its tightly ruffled, fringed petals hold their form for weeks, lending an arrangement quiet structure and a warm, clove-edged scent that lingers without overwhelming.

Chrysanthemum

Origin

East Asia — China & Japan

Cultivated since

Over 3,000 years in China

Fragrance

Soft, earthy and herbal

Symbolises

Longevity, joy & well-wishing

One of the oldest cultivated flowers, prized in China and Japan for three thousand years and honoured with its own festival. Its dense, textured heads bring depth and a long, dependable life to an arrangement.

Gerbera

Origin

South Africa

Described

By science in 1889

Fragrance

Barely scented, lightly fresh

Symbolises

Cheerfulness, warmth & innocence

The gerbera daisy brings open, sunlit colour and a graphic simplicity to a bouquet. Native to South Africa and loved worldwide, its clean single bloom adds brightness and a friendly, contemporary note to Amicis designs.

Hydrangea

Origin

Japan & the Americas

Cultivated since

Reached European gardens in the 1700s

Fragrance

Very light, fresh and green

Symbolises

Heartfelt emotion & gratitude

Named from the Greek for 'water vessel', the hydrangea carries full, cloud-like heads that shift colour with the soil — from blush and cream to deep blue. Its generous volume gives Amicis bouquets their soft, romantic fullness.

Orchid

Origin

Tropical regions worldwide

Cultivated since

Prized in Asia for centuries; carried to Europe across the 18th and 19th centuries

Fragrance

Most cut varieties virtually scentless

Symbolises

Refinement, luxury & rare beauty

Among the largest plant families on earth, orchids took root across the tropics of Asia and the Americas, cultivated in Asia long before reaching the West. Victorian collectors then chased them across the globe, fuelling a famous European craze. Their arched stems and sculptural blooms bring quiet architecture to an arrangement, holding their form for weeks where softer flowers fade.

Ranunculus

Origin

Eastern Mediterranean and southwest Asia

Reached Europe

In the 1500s, via Ottoman gardeners

Fragrance

Faint to virtually none

Symbolises

Charm, radiance & allure

Each bloom holds dozens of tissue-thin petals layered into a near-perfect sphere, a structure that opens slowly from a tight bud into something almost rose-like. That gradual unfurling makes Ranunculus a quiet anchor in an Amicis arrangement - sculptural when closed, generous and full once it relaxes open.

Rose

Origin

Asia — China, Persia & the Mediterranean

Cultivated since

Over 5,000 years

Fragrance

Warm and sweet, of honey & tea

Symbolises

Love, gratitude & admiration

The most storied flower in the world, grown and gifted for five millennia. Its layered petals and soft scent have made it the universal language of affection — and the quiet anchor of almost every Amicis arrangement.
