The Duchess pairs white hydrangea, roses and phalaenopsis orchid with green viburnum and chocolate sunflowers for a restrained Dubai statement.

The Duchess is the quietest arrangement in The Majestic collection and the most architectural. White hydrangea, white roses and white phalaenopsis orchid form the body, with white anthurium spathes placed flat around the outside to give it width. Green viburnum, green carnations and bells of Ireland run through the centre to keep the white from reading as cold.

The unexpected element is the chocolate sunflower. Three or four dark heads sit high in the arrangement, and they change how the whole piece is read: without them it would be a wedding palette, with them it becomes something more contemporary. Dusty miller and trailing asparagus fern finish the base, and the arrangement is wrapped in white and set in the Amicis cylinder vessel with a green ribbon.

This is the arrangement to send when the setting is formal and the palette needs to stay restrained. It works in a hotel lobby, a corporate reception or a private dining table without competing with the room.

Sizing Guide:


Royal: Large frame, 40cm

Majestic: XLarge frame, 60cm

The Duchess is for settings where restraint matters. It suits:

  • Hotel lobbies, corporate receptions and executive offices
  • Sympathy and respectful occasions where white is expected
  • Weddings, engagements and formal celebrations
  • Gifting to a client or a senior contact where a neutral palette is safer

Choose it when the arrangement should be noticed for its structure rather than its colour.

The Duchess is composed with these confirmed floral components:

Hydrangea, Rose, Phalaenopsis Orchid, Anthurium, Viburnum, Bells of Ireland, Sunflower, Carnation, Dusty Miller, Asparagus Fern.

Final stem counts and supporting seasonal accents may vary slightly with market availability.

Caring for your The Duchess

Keep The Duchess out of direct sun, which will yellow white petals faster than any other colour. Re-cut the rose and viburnum stems at an angle every two to three days and remove any leaf below the waterline, since white arrangements show cloudy water immediately. Mist the hydrangea head lightly. The bells of Ireland are heavy and will lean toward the light, so turn the vessel every day or two to keep them upright. Handle the phalaenopsis orchid by the stem only.

A note on your specific blooms

  • Hydrangea — Hydrangea takes up water through its petals — mist the heads and keep the vase topped up.
  • Rose — Roses drink heavily — re-cut the stems at an angle every couple of days.
  • Anthurium — Anthurium prefers warmth — keep it away from the cold and wipe the leaf gently.
  • Bells of Ireland — Stems are hollow and heavy, so support the tall spires against a vase edge or among firmer stems to keep them from bending or snapping.
  • Sunflower — Sunflowers are heavy drinkers, so use a tall vessel with plenty of water and top it up daily to keep the stems firm.
  • 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.
  • Asparagus Fern — Mist the delicate fronds and keep them out of direct sun, as the fine foliage dries and yellows faster than the flowers it accompanies.

How long your flowers last

Expect roughly 7 to 14 days. The white roses and viburnum soften first, generally around day 5 to 7, and the bells of Ireland will start to lean as they age. The hydrangea holds well with regular misting. The phalaenopsis orchid and anthurium are the long performers and often run 2 to 3 weeks, and the chocolate sunflowers hold their shape almost indefinitely as they dry. White flowers show age earlier than coloured ones, so lift any rose that has started to brown at the edge rather than waiting for it to collapse.

The story behind these flowers

A closer look at the blooms gathered into this arrangement.

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.

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.

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.

Bells of Ireland

Origin

Western Asia – Turkey, Syria and the Caucasus

Cultivated since

The 1500s, in European gardens

Fragrance

Fresh and green, with a faint mint note

Symbolises

Good luck & good fortune

Despite the name, Bells of Ireland comes from western Asia, and its green "bells" are not petals at all but cupped calyces cradling tiny white flowers. That tall, sculptural spire of apple-green brings vertical line and an architectural calm to an arrangement, the structural counterpoint Amicis sets against softer blooms.

Sunflower

Origin

North America

Cultivated since

Several thousand years ago by Indigenous Americans

Fragrance

Virtually scentless

Symbolises

Adoration, warmth & loyalty

Among the oldest flowers cultivated on the continent, the sunflower was domesticated in North America several thousand years ago, grown for its seeds long before its face became a symbol of summer. Its broad golden head turns toward light, and in an arrangement it brings height, openness and an unmistakable sense of generosity.

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.

Asparagus Fern

Origin

Southern Africa

A florist staple since

The Victorian era

Fragrance

Fresh and green

Symbolises

Softness, depth & airy texture

Not a true fern at all, but a southern African relative of the edible asparagus, its feathery sprays became a fixture of the European florist trade from the nineteenth century onward. The fine, cloud-like fronds soften an arrangement and add depth between blooms, which is why Amicis reaches for it as a quiet structural foil rather than a focal point.
