When the Season Starts at the Curb and Carries All the Way In
There’s something special about walking up to a home that’s been thoughtfully styled for the holidays. The lights, the garland, the glow begins with a welcome and ends with a warm gathering space.
At Margie Mae’s Holiday Decor, we design holiday experiences that move with you from your front gate to your entryway and all the way to your fireplace mantel. Because in Scottsdale and Paradise Valley, your home deserves a display that feels cohesive, elevated, and entirely effortless.
It Begins Outside: Where Curb Appeal Meets Holiday Magic
Your outdoor decor sets the tone. We often start with lit rooflines and symmetrical garland, but the real charm is in the unexpected: oversized fiberglass figures greeting guests, flickering candlelight in decorative lanterns, or spritzers floating in your olive trees like tiny stars.
What we ask clients is simple: “What do you want people to feel the moment they arrive?”
Because from the street, your home should say, “It’s the holidays. You’re welcome here.”
And Then a Transition That Feels Like Music
Step inside, and the melody continues. The scent of fresh pine, the glint of metallic ribbon, the quiet elegance of a tree styled to match your home’s interior tones, it’s more than just decorations.
We don’t design interiors and exteriors as separate projects. We approach them as chapters in the same story.
Our integrated design philosophy means:
- No clashing themes between porch and fireplace
- No missed opportunities to carry color or texture throughout the home
- And no stress in coordinating it all, we handle every piece
Real Home, Real Story: A Client’s Vision in Motion
One of our Paradise Valley clients told us, “We’re hosting Christmas Eve, and I want it to feel like the whole house is part of the celebration, no dull areas, no clutter.”
So, we mapped it like a journey:
- Front gate: gold-lit garland and a 6′ champagne Nutcracker
- Courtyard palms: wrapped in warm white
- Entry console: a mini tree with blush and ivory accents to mirror the exterior
- Dining room: custom centerpiece using heirloom crystal and faux florals
- Living room fireplace: velvet stocking display with silver ribbon and script name tags
The result? Guests felt immersed in the spirit the moment they arrived and not one strand of lights came from a store shelf.
Garlands, Wreaths & Greenery That Tie It All Together
Looking for that final polish? Our curated garland and wreath collections bridge the gap between indoors and out:
- Traditional Tidings: Burgundy, gold, and red; classic and rich
- Elegant Metallics: Ivory, silver, and soft gold; perfect for transitional or modern homes
- Classic Christmas: Red, green, and apple accents; joyful and timeless
Each is pre-lit, full-bodied, and built on our Grand Mixed Noble Fir base. They’re designed to work on everything from a wrought-iron gate to a stair banister to a fireplace mantel.
“I used to dread decorating for the holidays. Now I look forward to it because, everything flows. It’s all done for me, and it looks better than I could’ve imagined.” — Margie Mae’s Client, North Scottsdale
