Soft Meets Sculptural: STILLA Florals Onboard M/Y Vertige

There's a certain kind of quiet elegance that sets M/Y Vertige apart. Sleek lines, open light, and interiors that feel more like a serene retreat than a statement of size. When STILLA was asked to return on board this 50-metre Tankoa-built beauty, our mission was clear: to create something poetic, refined, and completely in tune with her understated charm.

White Glove Florals, Tailored to the Yacht

As with every STILLA project, this one began with a personal touch. Our team carried out a private consultation onboard with the chief stewardess, walking through the interiors together to understand the visual tone and her vision for the yacht. It wasn't just about what looked beautiful; it was about what felt right for Vertige.

From there, our floral specialists crafted a bespoke plan tailored to each space, delivering a premium white-glove service that aligned with the yacht's operations, styling, and ambiance. Every stem and colour was curated with intention.

The Long Low Centerpiece: Softness with Structure

At the heart of the dining area sat a long, low arrangement designed to be both luxurious and functional, perfect for tablescapes where conversation flows. Preserved peonies, roses, hydrangeas, and gardenia-like blooms in soft ivory, blush, and pistachio green created a refined pastel harmony. Romantic without being overly feminine, and formal without ever feeling stiff. This design speaks to the STILLA ethos: yacht flowers that elevate without overwhelming.

The Sculptural Statement Piece: A Window into Elegance

Created specifically for the VIP cabin, this sculptural floral arrangement was designed to complement the window view, becoming part of the seascape itself. Set in a crisp white vessel, it featured a striking composition of preserved white orchids, dahlia, hydrangea, and fine botanical textures. Delicate sprigs of eucalyptus and twisting branches added structure and movement, echoing the natural lines of waves and wind. Placed just right, the arrangement framed the light pouring through the cabin, becoming a living artwork that brought the outside in.

Bridge Deck Arrangement: Soft Romance with a Breezy Twist

Set on the bridge deck of M/Y Vertige, this arrangement brings a romantic, refreshing mood to one of the most social outdoor spaces onboard. We composed it with preserved blush peonies, creamy roses, soft white dahlia, hydrangeas in delicate pink and ivory, and hints of pale green hydrangea for a touch of crisp contrast. The florals are grounded by airy textures and loose greenery, creating a laid-back yet polished aesthetic, perfectly suited for alfresco dining or sunset cocktails.

Its elongated silhouette keeps sightlines clear while adding colour and softness to the teak-clad setting. With no water or maintenance needed, it's designed to sail beautifully through summer without missing a beat.

Master Cabin & Main Salon: A Statement Bouquet

This tall bouquet of pale peach preserved roses, paired with flowing eucalyptus foliage, was designed to complement two of M/Y Vertige's most refined interiors: the master cabin and the main salon.

In the master cabin, it brings a sense of calm and sophistication, which echoes the room's neutral tones while offering a romantic focal point. In the main salon, the bouquet stands proudly as a centerpiece, adding sculptural height and understated drama to the communal space.

Master Bathroom: A Subtle Accent of Serenity

For the master bathroom, we created petite floral accents. This arrangement features a single white dahlia, a delicate preserved rosebud, and sprigs of eucalyptus and gypsophila. The look is clean, poetic, and tailored to echo the spa-like serenity of the suite space.

Bridge Deck Coffee Table: A Gesture of Fresh Romance

Designed to anchor the casual elegance of the bridge deck's coffee table, this arrangement is all about lightness, softness, and laid-back sophistication. A generous bloom of blush pink peonies takes center stage. Paired with zesty lime-green cymbidium orchids and framed by lush ruscus foliage, the palette brings a refined freshness to the space without feeling overstated.

Dayheads: A Refined Echo of MIRAGE

For the yacht's dayheads, we created a delicate variation of our signature MIRAGE arrangement — scaled down but no less sophisticated.

Set in STILLA's iconic silver cube vase, this compact composition features creamy preserved roses, white carnations, and green gardenias, all surrounded by crisp eucalyptus and textured foliage. The palette is airy and calm, complementing the fresh tones of the onboard interiors without overwhelming the intimate scale of the space.

Why Preserved Flowers?

For clients like Motor Yacht Vertige, where discretion and simplicity are paramount, preserved flowers are the gold standard. They offer the elegance of real blooms, with none of the hassle or upkeep. No wilting, no replacement. Just perfect, week after week, season after season.

And more than that, they align with a smarter, more sustainable luxury — one that doesn't compromise on beauty, but makes it work harder and last longer.

This project wasn't about bold statements or loud gestures. It was about grace. About composing arrangements that felt as though they had always belonged on board: subtle, precise, and utterly timeless.

We're honoured to bring that touch of floral soul to one of the most quietly beautiful yachts on the water.
