How It Works
How It Works – read more below to understand the process.
1. Decide on your choice of package or service.
Check out all our packages or our services offered and decide whether you’d like a Hanukkah or Kwanzaa package, or from our Christmas packages, whether you prefer to buy, rent, or for us to use decorations that you already own.
2. Choose your service(s) or the package consistent with the size of your home.
After you decide, purchase or add the package to your cart consistent with the square footage of your house—this applies to our Christmas packages only. (Don’t know the size of your house? Learn how to measure here.) Our prices are structured depending on the square footage of your home, so the larger your house, the more items (lights, ribbon, throw pillows, etc.) are included in your package.
3. Pay for your package or service(s).
Check out and pay using PayPal.
4. Choose your holiday décor options.
After you’ve completed your payment, you will then be redirected to our décor choices and questionnaire page where you will choose all your holiday décor options whether it is for Christmas, Hanukkah, or Kwanzaa.
The questions are mostly multiple choice or by check box so this will be a quick and simple process. An example of what the questionnaire entails can be seen here. After you complete the form with your information submit your choices.
5. Email us photos of your space.
We ask at this point that you please email us some photos of the spaces you’d like decorated. Four wide-angle shots would suffice, but if there are details in your home you’d like us to accentuate or assemble your tablescape, e.g. a fireplace, entry, or buffet table, please email us photos of those as well. Take a look at the diagram below for some direction on how to take wide-angle shots of your room. Standing at each corner at a 45° angle, direct your camera to the opposite corner of the room, then take the shot. It’s that simple.
6. If requested, we meet virtually.
After your order has been placed, if you requested a virtual meeting when you answered our questionnaire, one of our Certified Interior Decorators will meet with you via Facetime, WhatsApp, or Skype for a one-hour session and we will discuss your design choices.
Thereafter, you will be sent options to choose from when it comes to your ribbon print, tree skirt, and throw pillows.
7. Otherwise, we make selections based on your choices.
If you chose to opt out of the meeting, we will make selections that best complement the design choices you made when placing your order.
8. First check in.
Two weeks before your installation, you will be contacted to reconfirm last-minute details.
9. Second check in.
We will check in one more time twenty-four hours prior to your installation to reconfirm details.
10. Installation Day
On installation day, we will arrive at your home at the agreed-upon time, install your decorations, then leave.
Depending on the size of your home, and the services you requested, this process will take between one and two days, possibly longer if you have a very large property.
Please Note: We will take photos of our work during and upon completion of our decorative installation. Those photos will not include residents, or your faces and we will not disclose the property address or your name publicly. The photos may be used on our website, social media, and for marketing and advertising materials in electronic or print format. We at www.holidaydecorating.net are responsible for the cost and publicity of those photographs. Please be advised that by signing up for our service you agree to these conditions.
11. Relax, sit back and enjoy the holidays.
If you purchased a rental service, we will return on the week of January 1 to take the decorations down and away. Otherwise, for every other package, unless you purchased a takedown service as well, this is where our service ends. Relax, sit back, and enjoy the holidays.
