UNICO Bouquet · Christmas 2026
The Christmas Edit.
My Christmas guide: eleven creations, four ways to give them.
Christmas, the UNICO way
Christmas has a light of its own.
You find it in small gestures, in details chosen with care, in homes that change their mood and in gifts that say something about the person who gives them.
For me, Christmas is not about decorations. It is colour, emotion and design. A composition of real preserved roses can become a personal gesture, a detail for the home, a memory that stays.
This year I made eleven creations for the holidays. Forest-green velvet, red roses, hydrangeas, the “Merry Christmas” ribbon and my gold wax seal. I grouped them into four ways of giving a gift.
01. For someone you want to surprise
Some gifts are remembered for years.
Rosso di Natale is the grandest piece in the collection: thirty-one XL red roses gathered in a full dome, in a white hatbox with a forest-green ribbon and gold “Merry Christmas” lettering. Thirty centimetres of red, to open under the tree.
My tip
Choose it for someone you love deeply, or to thank someone who mattered this year. At home it looks right on a low table or a console, with a few candles around it.
02. The Christmas table
The Christmas table starts from the centre.
I made these four compositions for the middle of the table at Christmas lunch or Christmas Eve dinner. Low enough to leave room for plates and glasses, and then they stay in the house for the whole season, on the mantelpiece or a console.
Natale in VellutoFive red roses among copper, cinnamon and olive hydrangeas.
Bosco d’InvernoFive ruby roses among apple-green and sage hydrangeas.
Neve d’OroWhite hydrangeas, cream roses and gold baubles.
Dolce NataleThree cream roses, white hydrangeas and five gold baubles.
My tip
Choose the colour by looking at the tablecloth. On white linen and silver, the red and green of Natale in Velluto or Bosco d’Inverno. On an ivory and gold table, Neve d’Oro or Dolce Natale.
03. For your host
When you are a guest, bring something that stays on the table.
These are the most compact pieces in the collection, made to arrive at a dinner with a gift in your hands. Red roses, hydrangeas, decorative greenery and burgundy baubles, in a hatbox that suits any table.
Fiamma d’InvernoThree crimson roses and antique-pink hydrangeas, 13 cm across.Bacio d’InvernoFour red roses among antique-pink and salmon hydrangeas.
Muschio e RubinoThree ruby roses on a moss-like bed of green.
Sentiero di RubiniFive ruby roses and fir-like greenery, white hatbox, 12 cm across.
My tip
If you know the house, pick the right tone: antique pink for light rooms, moss green for wooden interiors, the white hatbox of Sentiero di Rubini for bright tables. If you don’t, red always works.
04. A small gift that stays
A gift doesn’t have to be big to be remembered.
Rosso di Seta · Christmas Edition is nine red roses in a black box with a green ribbon and gold details: the simplest way to say “I love you” at Christmas. Notte di Smeraldo is the smallest piece in the collection, 15 centimetres: five small red roses among emerald-green hydrangeas, for a desk or a bedside table.
Notte di SmeraldoMy tip
They are also perfect as work gifts: a colleague, a client, someone who helped you this year. They stay on the desk long after the holidays.

How to choose the right gift
The most beautiful gift is not always the biggest. It is the one that says something about the person who receives it. When a client asks me for help, we always start from three questions.
1. What feeling do you want to share?
A deep feeling, a thank you, a warm wish or an elegant thought? Colour is the quickest way to express an emotion.
2. What is their style?
Do they love bold colours or soft shades? Minimal rooms or warmer, cosier atmospheres? A gift becomes even more personal when it reflects the taste of the person who receives it.
3. Where will it live?
In the middle of the table, on a hallway console, on the mantelpiece or on a desk? Thinking about where it will go helps you choose the right size.
Each creation exists in a single piece. If the one you love has already gone, I can make one in the same spirit, made to measure.
Christmas at home
Christmas is also the pleasure of welcoming people. A home prepared with care, a well-laid table, a light that brings out the materials. Here a flower composition can become part of the interior, not just a seasonal ornament.
Less decoration. More atmosphere.
My suggestion is to choose one main palette and build a few well-coordinated details around it.
For a classic table, red and forest green with white candles. For a bright home, white and gold. For a softer mood, antique pink and burgundy with a touch of velvet.
One important composition and a few objects around it. Often that is all you need.
For hotels and hospitality
An entrance, a reception or a suite say a lot about the style of a place. During the holidays, a composition chosen with care makes the welcome more personal.
For boutique hotels, restaurants, interior design studios and hospitality spaces, I create made-to-measure compositions, in the right colours and sizes for each space.
To receive it before Christmas
Every creation is made in my studio, and I ship it myself.
Italy: order by December 17.
EU, Switzerland and UK: by December 9.
USA and Gulf: by December 10.
For the USA and outside the EU, duties are paid by the recipient.
If you need a specific date, write to me.
A gift that stays
Christmas passes. Decorations are put away, days find their rhythm again and rooms go back to everyday life. But some objects keep telling the beauty of a gesture.
This is where UNICO Bouquet begins: real preserved roses, arranged one by one in my studio, with passion. Away from direct sunlight and humidity, they stay beautiful for years.
Made with passion in Italy. Shipped worldwide.
