Sparkle Holidays 15 is built around a sculptural meeting of preserved hydrangea, cascading red amaranthus, festive red raffia, frosted pinecones, textured botanicals and seasonal accents. Each element is chosen for the way it moves and catches light, layered into a piece that reads as bold, modern and unmistakably festive rather than traditional or expected.
The hydrangea here is preserved rather than fresh, which lets its dense, cloud-like heads hold their shape and colour for months. Native to Asia and the Americas, the hydrangea has long stood for heartfelt emotion and gratitude, and its full, textured form gives the arrangement its quiet structure. Against it, the red amaranthus trails in long crimson ropes; amaranthus carries an old symbolism of endurance and immortality, and its cascading habit brings the movement and drama that define this design.
Around these anchors, frosted pinecones and textured botanicals add a wintry, tactile contrast, while red raffia ties the composition together with a handcrafted, gift-like finish. The palette runs from deep crimson and chestnut through to silver and snowy white, a combination that feels rich and celebratory without tipping into the obvious. The overall mood is warm and confident, equally at home as a Christmas centrepiece, a sculptural piece of seasonal home décor or a considered gift for someone with a taste for the bespoke.
Because it leans on preserved and seasonal materials, this arrangement suits anyone who wants the impact of deep red flowers with lasting presence rather than a few fleeting days. It holds its own on a console, a dining table or a mantel, and rewards a second look from across the room.
Every Sparkle Holidays 15 is assembled and hand-finished in the Amicis Dubai atelier, with each frosted detail and trailing stem placed by eye. As a non-fresh festive piece it needs almost no upkeep: keep it out of direct sun and away from damp, and dust the botanicals gently to keep the texture crisp.
