Be transported to the beauty and romance of a European Christmas during this unforgettable decorating experience led by entertaining and style expert Ellen Leaf. Fresh from spending a month in the South of France, Ellen will share the timeless details, collected charm, and knowledgeable styling tips that will help you bring the look and feeling of a European holiday into your own home.
See how to make a beautiful European-inspired Christmas tree filled with elegant layers, beautiful textures, sophisticated colors, and old-world charm comes to life with stunning gifts under the tree. Ellen will demonstrate beautiful gift-wrapping ideas, complete with an easy-to-follow tutorial featuring luxurious ribbons, natural embellishments, and thoughtful finishing touches that make every package feel extraordinary.
Experience how to create a lavish gilded mantel glowing with greenery, candlelight, and thoughtful accents. Then learn how to transform a home bar or bar cart into an artfully styled holiday destination ready to welcome and delight your guests.
For a truly inspiring finale, Ellen will reveal how forgotten decorations, beloved treasures, and everyday pieces can be reimagined, repurposed, and refreshed into one stunning holiday moment. You will learn to see what you already own in an entirely new way.
Filled with beauty, inspiration, expert instruction, and ideas you can confidently recreate at home, this is so much more than a decorating class—it is a magical European holiday experience.
