Warm metallics and simple white-on-white wrapping.
Strings of pearl and glass make for embellished strands here.
Though this is a popular photo I wanted to remind you of the beauty of pleated tissue. Never underestimate tissue in gift wrapping, it makes for a softer gift presentation and with the addition of vintage broaches and soft ribbon it becomes truly glamourous..........as seen in the blog This is Glamorous.
The gifted Vicki Archer of the blog French Essence wrapped up last year's gifts in neutral sparkle for a popular post on my blog here. I am patiently waiting to see what she does this year as I know she is wrapping in a more colourful palette this year. A little birdie told me so.
Gorgeous, gorgeous and more gorgeous from Victoria magazine and the Atlanta based King of Ribbon Nicholas Kniel who I think I need to visit/meet to master new ribbon tricks. Note the one with the vintage photo. All those glitter papers and ribbons add such sparkle to festive presentations. See his ribbon technique book here.

ReplyDeleteYes you need to meet Nick. His shop reminds me of a Paris shop full of tiny wonders. It is my favorite shop in Atlanta and my fav ribbon shop anywhere. If you visit let me know so I can tell you about other good shopping here. My blog has some photos of his shop on it last year.

ReplyDeleteSande,
ReplyDeleteYour post today is simply stunning---as always! I have been trying to pleat tissue on some of my wrappings, but am not finding it too easy to do neatly. Any tips you can share or is there a past post that will help? Many thanks! Hope everyone's holidays are filled with an abundance of ravishing ribbons, enticing embellishments, and the joy of giving of oneself by thoughtfully wrapped gifts.

I have always love tone on tone gift wrapping, and with the metallics it makes it extra glam. Merry Christmas Sande.

I remember opening a package from you and seeing for the first time pleated tissue paper-such and elegant touch to a simple material.
ReplyDeleteThose gifts by Victoria mag are GORGEOUS! I love that magazine, so I'm not surprised. And, of course, anything that Vicki touches shines brilliantly.
