COCOA BLUSH🤎
A richer kind of romance.

In 2022, pink took over Christmas. It was playful in pop culture, bold in decor and was everywhere.

After seasons of this high-energy color, we’ve seen the need for a feminine holiday that feels softer. Romantic, without feeling too sweet.

We deepened the palette with this collection. Soft blush tones are woven through our Brilliant Borders ribbon, Pearl Sprays, Grand Magnolias, Illume Ornaments. The color is grounded by decadent chocolate Velvet Luster, Velvet Ornaments, Gilded Lunaria and Magnolia stems.

Reserve Cocoa Blush and our other collections online through the end of the week to guarantee they are made to order for you and your clients.

This collection was brought to life by the talented @rockylcrabtree @instamikesegura @wardenred of @craftexinc ✨

February 6th 2026. Day one of attending Chrisrmasworld in Frankfurt. Walking through the “Tropical Bounty” Christmas Installation. I had thedistinct pleasure of meeting and visiting with Rudi Tuinman, the man behind the inspiration. What a treat. Rudi was more than happy to discuss the vision behind the project. Please excuse the shakey movement, and I hope the enjoy the moment.

Cher, now might be a great time for an intervention. You are obviously suffering from a shopping addiction, I mean really! Your last custom tote bag shows its almost if not bigger than you. I'm all about pumping $$$$ dinero into the economy, but this is look mighty ridiculous! Someone please help in pulling the plug and cutting her off.

🌿GARNET GROVE🥀

Old-world luxury inspired by the abundant forest. Deep olive greens are cut with ruby red, layered with embroidered tapestry ribbons, eucalyptus and magnolia sprays to create a richly storied, regal Christmas display.

Christmas is fleeting, like nature at its most magnificent. This collection celebrates that organic, abundant beauty that is meant to be savored.

Endless appreciation to the design team @craftexinc - @rockylcrabtree @instamikesegura @wardenred for bringing this collection to life at our showroom in Dallas, Texas.

✨Gilded Galerie✨

🪄Go behind the making of the magic. Cool steel blue is warmed up by antique gold, creating a palette that feels polished and graceful with a touch of fairytale-like glamour.

Tiffany steel blue and plush antique gold velvet ribbons came to life with golden Pearl Garland and piercing steel blue Pendeloque jewel ribbons.

The designers behind one of our premier retail partners @craftexinc helped bring this exhibition of winter luxury to life. Stop by our Dallas showroom to see this stunning display for Christmas 2026.
