3 Reasons You Should Hire a Seasonal Decorator
The seasonal decorating industry has exploded with the rise of pumpkin porch installations and Winter holiday displays. Homeowners and businesses now have the ability to outsource the heavy lifting and stress that accompanies decorating. For those on the fence about hiring a seasonal decorator, I explore why I believe the service has enormous value. Here are three of the reasons why:
1. Time
As a mom of three, I know firsthand the value of time. Between work, pickup and dropoff, obligations and family time, the little things that make us happy often take the backburner. When I first brought my twins home from the hospital I considered it a success to even have a Christmas tree, even unlit and undecorated. Seasonal decorators free our clients from this kind of sacrifice. We allow busy moms to focus on the joy of the holidays instead of the stressors that often accompany them. We’re able to build a beautiful backdrop for our clients to enjoy trick-or-treating or Christmas morning without worrying how it will all come together.
2. Aesthetics
Seasonal decorators spend an enormous amount of time designing and assembling installations that will wow our clients. At Warm Welcome Décor, I hand select each and every pumpkin we place on our clients’ porches. I’ve personally braided 25 foot garlands of pine, fraser and cedar evergreens to achieve a lush look for a client’s doorway. I stay up late at night hand crafting ribbon bows and specialty dying jingle bells. When you hire a seasonal decorator, you should not only expect this kind of effort, but also the kind of eye that can tie these elements together.
As a seasonal decorator, I am obsessed with perspective, color, texture and depth. I approach each project like an art installation, intentionally drawing the eye to your front door. I consider which shapes of pumpkins complement your architecture and which color gourds can make your entry pop. The results should not only be beautiful, but evoke emotion. Trick-or-treaters should be itching to run up to your door on Halloween. Family should feel embraced when they arrive at Christmastime. Décor, when done well, has the ability to make us feel.
3. Peace
There is something special about pulling into your driveway at the end of a long day and feeling welcomed into your home. For many of us, this moment is anything but peaceful. We arrive, burnt out, with a mental list of everything that needs to be achieved before bedtime. I created Warm Welcome Décor to enable my clients to pause, look at their home and feel proud. Seasonal décor enables us to be present in the moment, to appreciate that we’re home and home is beautiful.
