Christmas in New York City

December 17, 2015 · 3 Comments

IMG_0010There really is something just so magical about New York City during Christmastime. If you’ve never had the chance, it’s a must, especially if you love this time of year. The beauty you see in movies, it’s all there, of course with thousands of people among you, but that’s what adds to its magic. I’ve been lucky to grow up right outside the city, and remember always taking the trip to see the famous Rockefeller Center Tree and the beautiful holiday window displays with my parents every year the day before Christmas Eve.

In the last few years, I’ve become busier from helping with the reigns for our two day family Christmas celebrations and holiday orders, so this traditional night with my parents, has been replaced with quick trips with J. Since I knew the last two weeks before Christmas were going to be insane, last Friday was the one day I wanted to go in to New York City, and calmly walk the streets and see it’s Chritmas magic alongside my parents and J. Plus it helped that the weather was just perfect, which I know isn’t normal, but I’m totally taking advantage of it. IMG_9908Even after 20 something years of coming into New York City for Christmas, it still doesn’t get old. It still fills me with excitement of a young little girl impatiently waiting for Santa. Except now I’m a grownup, wishing the holiday season would slow down! Seriously, perhaps because I’ve been busier this month than any other year, but I feel like Christmas has flown by, like one week already. I need more time! More time to sit by the trees, to actually enjoy this time without stretching myself between orders, planning a party this weekend, making/wrapping gifts, and prepping everything for my own family celebration.

Amongst the hustle and bustle the holidays brings, going into New York City during Christmas allows me to slow down, and embrace this beautiful season. With just a few days before Christmas Eve, I know there isn’t much relaxing for me, but I make it a big effort to listen to classic holiday music and enjoy the twinkling tree as much as I can. So in case you are feeling stressed, here are just a few beautiful shots of New York City during Christmas, and if you haven’t seen them for yourself, inspires you to take a trip next year…IMG_9911IMG_9915I loved Macy’s windows this year. My favorite is still the Polar Express theme, but this year’s Peanuts were just so fun.

The winter palace theme carried on through their amazing, and I mean AMAZINGLY, beautiful window displays. They are beyond gorgeous, with luxurious gowns, diamonds and crystals, and elegant tablescapes that filled me with so much inspiration. I literally photographed every window because they were just THAT beautiful.

Not one to be led by trends, but seems there’s a Not one to be led by trends, but seems there’s a little something we’re all looking forward to … Color! But there in lies the complex beauty of color. We connect & interpret it in so many personal ways — some of us are drawn to the beauty in the soft muted tones, while others it’s the bright rich hues. Each view & approach, a special way of embracing color✨🌿🌈And I am here for all it!

“Ikebana; the Japanese art of flower arranging t “Ikebana; the Japanese art of flower arranging that emphasizes form & balance — symbolizing the beauty & essence of all components in Nature working in harmony. Ikebana expresses strong emotions through its four principles of a fresh approach, movement, balance & harmony, while highlighting its three elements; line, color & mass. 

Ikebana designs use fewer stems that are intentionally arranged to reflect the balance of opposing elements. Ikebana floral art is a reflection of the person creating it & its evolving story.”

This year I’m challenging myself each month to create a design. Whether it be a centerpiece or tablescape, I want to expand & challenge my creativity, skills & ever-flowing ideas. It’s a perfect way for me to create for the sake of creating while inspiring you with joyful pieces & help others see unlikely designs with a new perspective. 

I was naturally drawn to the traditional artform of Ikebana, for it takes the simplest elements & transforms them into designs that evoke an immense emotion. For me there is so much power & beauty in that, but also why I think it’s not as understood or appreciated as elaborate floral designs. 

I stumbled upon this forgotten small blue & white dish, thought how perfect it would be to capture the story of “Winter Blues” — not the sadness of the bitter season, but the emotion of a fresh clean slate where Nature is bare, minimal & calm, yet open to all the possibilities of the unknown … using a few sprigs of Blue Thistle & the inspiration of Ikebana intentions, this tiny delight was made💙

Dreamery is a bespoke event and floral design brand focusing on gatherings of all sizes, stylings, home, decor and the limitless creative projects yet to be envisioned. Nature, travel, old world treasures & slow living are my constant inspiration.
