Wreath of the Day – Matched or Mirror?
We had an interesting comment from one of our recipients this year, who needed a pair of matched decorated wreaths for her front doors. In the past, the bows had been placed either on top, or at the clock positions we refer to as 10 and 2, but those choices were made by the decorator and were not specified by the client, or by our in-house procedures. This year she received a matched pair with both bows at the 10 o’clock position. We thought the wreaths were beautiful, but she thought a mistake had occurred, and was wily enough to rehang one wreath so the bow was where she wanted it to be, although we believe some of the decorations may now look as if they are upside down. Our decorating team exchanged emails and decided we didn’t think matching ribbon positions in this way is wrong or unattractive, but of course we made a note to make our distraught customer’s wreaths differently in future. What do you think? Should all matched pairs be done with bows on top, or as mirror image?
