So we have the repeating denim through out our outfits yet in our own unique way. Instead of us all wearing jeans on the bottom half which doesn’t look visually interesting in photos, Ben wore beige jeans, Griffin jeans (but a beige half zip), Autumn a jean skirt and I wore a sweater dress with a jean jacket. I used denim as a complimentary secondary color that tied our outfits together, while still brining in the cranberry in my and Autumn’s outfits. Ben is wearing the main color and pattern in his plaid button down which also has blues in it.

It’s a good casual fall to winter outfit combination using cranberry as the main color. I’ll be adding our photos from this year to this post in a couple weeks. Decide if you’ll be formal, casual (holiday p.j.’s) or somewhere in between with jeans and sweaters).

Consider layers or accessories to add interest to an outfit (vest, hat, blazer, outerwear, earrings, headband etc…).

Use a neutral in one or two outfits to balance the pattern (this is typically that secondary complimentary color).

If you add another pattern make sure its smaller and more subtle while still including the main color

Incorporate one main pattern for interest (plaid, check, floral, stripe, polka dot) the pattern should include that main color.

Choose a main color and secondary complimenting color.

For me, its a creative process that defines the vibe for each year’s Christmas card photos. I know not all will agree with this, but I actually enjoy putting the outfits together. While this can sometimes be a bit stressful to plan and get the kids ready for, my favorite part is having these precious memories in print to look back on and see how much our kids have grown over the years. See below for our favorite tips and tricks for Christmas front-door decorations to get guests (and Santa, if you don’t have a chimney!) in the holiday spirit from the moment they ring the doorbell.As we get ready to take our family Christmas card photos for 2020 I’m thinking back to all the different family photos we’ve done over the years. “I create custom wreaths and garlands that play with the natural elements of the season-evergreens, pine cones, berries, and branches-and layer in unexpected materials like painted hydrangea, silk flowers, and glittery branches.”įortunately, there’s more than one way to get your foot in the door. “Create a welcoming impression with wreaths, garlands, and potted poinsettias.”īut you should still keep a few guiding principles in mind when it comes to your holiday door decor: “Holiday decor is all about color, texture, and form,” says florist Anne Dickson of Fox and the Fleur.

Why not frame your entryway with fresh pine boughs, magnolia garlands, or (for a touch of glitter) Christmas lights? Or keep things simple with a classic Christmas wreath festooned with a voluptuous velvet ribbon? “Hanging a wreath is one of the easiest ways to update your porch for the holidays,” insists Mercedes Feller, vice president of merchandising at Balsam Hill. The possibilities-according to the experts-are as big as your ambition, or budget. And one of the easiest ways to spruce up your exterior for the holidays is with some tasteful Christmas door decorations. While such festivity will doubtlessly attract plenty of oohs and aahs, we believe that, when it comes to Christmas decorating, you can say more with less. We all have seen those neighbors around the holidays, the ones with 12-foot blow-up Santas, the LED snowflake projectors, and-of course-enough string lights to rival the Las Vegas Strip.
