How can I decorate for a party simply and quickly?
Q- I have to throw a last minute Christmas party in my home for important business associates. Food is not a problem as I will have it catered, but the idea of decorating has me concerned. I need to get my home decorated quickly and beautifully. I would like to have it look professional, clean and crisp. Can you provide ideas on how I can accomplish this with minimal stress?
A- Hosting a party for business associates is important, and can cause a great deal of stress in planning. You can take off that stress though when you leverage the right kind of help and make wise choices in decorations.
First, choose a vendor that not only has what you need but can also help install and take down your applications. This will help save time and frustration and let you concentrate on other aspects of the party.
Next, consider the type of decorations. Greenery is always a classic choice and does not require too much time investigating trends or trying to match your other décor. You can choose from a wide selection of mixed greens, wreaths, garlands, and traditional plants such as poinsettia. Work with the vendor to cover all your needs, including table arrangements so that you have the crisp continuity for which you are looking.
In addition, another helpful consideration is choosing the types of trees and greenery that last longer. For example, trees grown in Michigan take on the SEK climate well and last much longer before shedding needles. This is particularly helpful for planning holiday events. A great choice is to buy a potted tree that you can plant later in your own landscape or donate to the business or fellow worker.
Once the home is all festooned in the greenery and lights, you have a beautiful, professional and festive display to welcome your guests.
May your party be successful, and your holidays bright!
