A Home for the Holidays

When asked to do a holiday display for a new client there is always lots to take into consideration.  After the initial consultation you get an idea of what the client is looking for, now the challenge begins. In this case, a young family living in a somewhat traditional home who would prefer less traditional decorations
I'm always up for a challenge.

Though there was no way around some of the traditional lines of this home, it did afford room for some modern thoughts.

The garlands over the porch are lighted with light garlands of two sizes of lights. The look, a modern twist to those old larger lights....old is new again

The bows in the pots are simply red Tulle, more like medallions. The ornaments on the garland over the window are more like gathered bouquet's. This look is repeated throughout the rest of the design. A light dusting of snow added to the look.

The space between the columns could have been left a void, instead evergreen arrangements fill this space  This allowed more color for this space.

Red and green are traditional Christmas colors, so some traditions were kept.

My favorite compliment was when this client told me she would like to keep these decorations up for as long as possible, way beyond Christmas. This I like.
