Vintage Christmas Decorations: Ribbons

Tie It Together With One Color

Each year, Genia picks a signature accent color and buys different types and textures of ribbons in that color. She combines all of the ribbons for bows on window wreaths in the dining room and kitchen. The textures play off one another without appearing too matchy.

Style Secret: Unify your holiday theme by using the same type of ribbon as that used on wreaths when wrapping presents. Your combination will look effortless, and you’ll save time on purchasing materials for presents.
