Holiday Design Process

Consultation

A preliminary discussion about your project scope, general options and decorating budget is done via phone. (Most clients text us photos of areas they’d like us to decorate.) We then schedule an appointment to see your home, learn more about your ideas and discuss color palettes, style and pieces we can create or procure for a cohesive look. A preliminary estimate or range of costs is provided based on the scope and scale of your project followed by a proposal for decorating services.

Measurements

All custom-made holiday décor pieces are sized to the dimensions of your house, fixtures and furniture. Measurements are taken of entryways, railings and any surfaces to be decorated. Electrical outlets are located to determine cord and timer setups for lighted Christmas decorations and if battery operated lights are needed.

Design & Acquisitions

Everything we create is tailored to your color scheme and style for tasteful holiday décor you can’t find in a store. We’ll present materials and ornament collections for you to choose to ensure your seasonal looks suit your tastes.

Installation Scheduling

Due to the tight time frame for holiday decorating, installations may be scheduled any time mornings through evenings in November and December. Downtown Milwaukee and east side condo residents typically need to make arrangements directly with their concierge for decorator parking, unloading and security protocol.

Exterior Holiday Decorating

Our exterior holiday decorating specialization is designing and crafting custom entrance sets of natural or artificial lighted garlands, wreaths, swags, potted Christmas trees and topiary or outdoor Christmas planter displays.

Depending on your home’s architecture, other key spots around your exterior may call for wreaths, swags and other decorations that’ll make your home a stand-out in the neighborhood. Final fittings for garlands are usually done during installation.

Interior Holiday Decorating

Live Christmas Trees

Depending on weather conditions, live trees are usually brought in the day or evening before being decorated to allow frozen tree branches to thaw and settle.

Artificial Christmas Trees

If you have existing artificial trees you wish to use, please plan on showing us what you have or providing photos of any trees in storage. We ask you to provide preliminary measurements of stored trees, and if dimensions are unknown, arrangements need to be made to assemble the trees and determine size and branching style for optimal design.

Holiday Decorating for Pets

We’d never forget about making the holidays special for your favorite furry buddies. Decorating services for family dogs and cats are available. We offer themed trees and holiday treat bars for your pets and their guests and are open to other requests.
