While we are trying to stay cool from the heat of summer, Christmas Tree Designers everywhere are starting to purchase their key theme pieces! What better way to feel cool than to play a hotel lobby tree with a a wintery feel surrounded by these adorable polar bears! Four out of the 8 bears I’ve ordered just arrived. So excited when the rest of the gang arrive! Yes, we are obsessed with designing Christmas trees!
If you or your company would like us to design and decorate your tree this year, now is the time to book us. It’s a short season and we book out fast. A Planned Affair Redding The Christmas Palace

New product disaster…What happens when you custom order a new trending ceiling draping for an event on February 13, and you get a thin piece of Tulle and ties instead? The DYI in you comes out to create it yourself. Luckily I had 30 yards of white voile scrap material. Hours of ironing, cutting, pleating and sewing. 7-8 hours to finish just one section. Two days to go and I have two more sections to go! Someone said why are we doing all of this for a two-hour event? We never settle for less than what the client envisions nor what we would accept. Luckily I have sewing skills. We hang these on Wednesday. I’ll follow up with how it turned out.

So thankful to be entrusted to create a beautiful space inside and out for Joey’s and DJ’s wedding on May 17, 2025 in Chico, Ca. Joey created all of the tablescapes. Rachael McDonald, created the beautiful draping and flowers on the arch and the aisle decor; as well as, providing an excellent wedding planning team. We are so grateful to have been apart of this sweet couple’s special day.

When a Cardinal appears an angel is near. My grandmother loved Cardinals so trees #6 & #7 are in her memory. These trees are located in the Sheraton’s ballrooms and feature red cardinal ornaments, picks, luxury ribbon, berries, and a sign for the tree topper.

Tree #4 and Holiday party decor. Ok, I’m cheating a little bit here. The tree is an 8’T by 7’W white faux pine tree arch that I used for a holiday party on Friday, December 13th. Each room in their office complex was decorated in different colors and themes. The arch is a perfect transition from one room to the next. The arch covered in four different gold ribbons and gold ornaments. I love how the archway creates a frame into their main party room with gold sequin drapes and our glorious lighted stag.

Tree #3 of my Twelve Days of Christmas Trees! “Woodsy Winter” themed with skiing Santa’s and sledding snowmen in browns, reds and whites. Inspiration came from this ski wall decor that I found last year. Makes a perfect tree topper and add in the welcome sled sign, red and white deer design ribbon, wood “cheer” ornaments, Santa’s and snowmen and a fun tree design is born. This tree is displayed in the Sheraton’s club lounge.

Christmas tree #2 - busy all day decorating for a holiday party that I was not able to post on Thursday (that event design to be posted after they have their party) So, I think it is easy to pick up on where my inspiration came from -the Nutcracker’s staff!! This is just a light-hearted and simply decorated tree in one of our showroom windows.
