2-Day Holiday Design Masterclass, July 20-21, 2026, Dallas, TX
This comprehensive workshop is designed to transform the way you approach holiday decorating—whether you’re styling your own home or building a professional design business. You’ll begin by mastering the core principles of elevated holiday design, learning how to use scale, layering, and composition to create cohesive, high-end spaces without simply buying more décor. From there, you’ll develop hands-on skills in creating luxury-quality bows and ribbon applications, as well as designing elegant tablescapes that turn everyday gatherings into memorable experiences. You’ll also explore a refined, repeatable system for selecting holiday themes, colors, and materials so every design feels intentional, polished, and beautifully curated.
As your creative confidence grows, the workshop dives into the artistry behind standout holiday elements. You’ll learn how to craft lush garlands and wreaths, elevate DIY décor into professional-looking pieces, and create gift wrapping presentations that feel as special as the gifts themselves. Practical instruction on installation techniques ensures your work not only looks stunning but is executed with precision and professionalism. You’ll also gain valuable insight into sourcing—discovering where and how to purchase high-quality décor that sets your designs apart—as well as guidance on take-down and storage solutions to protect your work and streamline future seasons.
Beyond design, this workshop equips you with the tools to build and sustain a thriving holiday design business. You’ll learn how to launch and position your brand, implement simple software systems for efficient business management, and market your services to attract and book luxury clients. Specialized sessions cover working with large-scale venues like resorts and hotels, pricing your services confidently, and creating an elevated client experience that distinguishes you from the competition. Finally, you’ll explore strategies for turning seasonal success into year-round income, giving you a clear path to building a profitable, sustainable career as a professional holiday designer.
