DECOR INTRODUCTION: Ever had something in your life that you treasure and value, something that's not necessarily expensive but holds immense sentimental value? It could be a cherished heirloom, a piece of jewelry, or perhaps your wedding dress. Our aim in this episode is to help you see how your holiday decor, specifically your front door wreath, can become that special something you take great care to steward year after year. Personal Journey: Let me share a bit of my journey into holiday decor. It all started when I saw a client's mismatched and outdated holiday decorations. It struck me that there had to be a better way to approach holiday decor, and I accidentally found myself diving into the world of custom, luxury wreaths. The Couture Approach: Think of "couture" as the fashion world's equivalent of creating custom, handcrafted designs that fit your unique style and needs. Just like when you go to Paris to get a couture gown, we're applying a similar concept to your holiday decor. It's about personalization and quality. Color Stories: Choosing the right color story for your holiday home is where it all begins. Are you more traditional, contemporary, rustic, or do you have a unique vision? We discuss various options, from deep greens and reds to blues and tartans, helping you set the stage for your holiday home's look. Unique Shapes: Your front door wreath doesn't have to be a typical round shape. We encourage you to think beyond conventions and consider unique shapes that match your home's architecture and style. Consider the Back: One common issue with wreaths is that they're visible through glass doors. We'll show you how to take the back of the wreath into consideration, so it looks stunning from both sides. Versatility and Stewardship: Just like a precious piece of jewelry or a well-made dress, your holiday decor deserves to be cared for. We'll explain why high-quality, custom wreaths are worth the investment and how they can become a part of your holiday home's story year after year. Creating a Meaningful Experience: The holiday season is about more than just decorations; it's about creating spaces and places that exude love, hope, and cherished memories. We'll share a personal story about a difficult holiday season that shifted our perspective on holiday decor, inspiring us to approach it differently. ENCOURAGEMENT: Think of "couture" as the fashion world's equivalent of creating custom, handcrafted designs that fit your unique style and needs. Just like when you go to Paris to get a couture gown, we're applying a similar concept to your holiday decor. It's about personalization and quality. CLOSING REMARKS: So, this holiday season, don't settle for the ordinary or the disposable. Elevate your holiday home decor and create an experience that nurtures and brings joy to your family and loved ones. Your home's beauty and the stories it tells can have a profound impact during the holidays. I'm Ann McDonald, signing off for this episode of the Holiday Decor Podcast.
