If you find yourself wondering, “How do I create an unconventional decor theme for the holidays?”, we have some great ideas below!
Tropical Holiday Hosting
Merge summer and winter styles with palm tree motifs and golden accents. Create a cheerful tablescape and bring some brightness to the dreary cold weather outside. Your table will be sure to stand out and capture smiles from all your guests!
This unexpected twist on holiday décor is easy to achieve with the vibrant, playful, and luxurious details found with Joanna Buchanan products. Start by anchoring your tablescape with her signature parrot napkin rings, a chic nod to the tropics with a glamorous finish. Paired with beaded placemats in jungle motifs, or textured straw frond placemats, they instantly set a lively, elegant tone.
Layer crisp linens with a pop of tropical greenery or bright florals—think orchids or monstera leaves—to bring lush, vacation-inspired energy to the table. Add in Joanna’s golden cocktail picks and wine charms, featuring whimsical sea creatures and sparkling flora, to infuse fun and sparkle into every drink.
To keep the festive spirit alive, decorate with tropical holiday ornaments like her jeweled pineapple or seashells. These versatile pieces can hang on a tree, act as unique place cards, or be tucked into napkins as chic party favors.
The result? Holiday hosting reimagined—bold, joyful, and full of personality. Break from tradition and bring paradise to the party—no plane ticket required.
Statement-Making Reds
From cherry red to deep burgundy, it’s just the pop you need to create an eye-catching party. Add it in as an accent to your existing base, or color drench in reds completely! And feel free to have fun and get festive with your color pairings – red plus greens and red plus golds, yes – but also red plus pink for a playful feminine look, plus blue for a modern dynamic vibe, or plus black for a bold, sophisticated feel!
No matter how you use it, red is a holiday classic to play off of—and Joanna Buchanan’s curated collection makes it easy to bring this vibrant hue into your home in a bold and elevated way. Her red trim placemats and coasters in rich ruby tones or crimson coral patterns create the perfect foundation for a festive table. Layer them with jeweled napkin rings, such as her bee or floral designs in red and gold, to bring in dimension and shine.
For sparkle and fun, Joanna’s placecard holders come in striking jewel tones that pair beautifully with soft textiles like linen napkins and table runners—especially when bow accents are used!
And don’t forget the tree or mantel. Joanna’s ornaments in rich reds, bright pinks, and golds—like her jeweled bugs or candy canes—are perfect for mixing color stories while still feeling cohesive and luxe.
Whether you're adding just a touch or going full-on red, Joanna Buchanan’s designs make it easy to style a holiday look that’s chic, cheerful, and uniquely you.
Accessories that scream, “That’s so me”
Personalized doesn’t always have to mean engraving with initials, or even having to get something custom-made. Sometimes it’s finding a ready-to-purchase item that captures someone’s uniqueness on its own. A unique item that will have you feeling seen, and definitely have your friends saying, “That’s perfect for you, where on earth did you find this!”
Joanna Buchanan’s collection is filled with those “just right” pieces—the kind that feel made for you, even though they’re ready to ship. Her placemats are a perfect example. Whether it’s a bold coral motif, a shimmering stripe, or a rich jewel-toned pattern, these hand-beaded works of art bring personality and vibrancy to your table with zero customization required.
Explore Joanna’s napkin rings, from sparkling bumblebees to playful evil eyes. These little treasures add a personal touch to each place setting, making every guest feel special—and instantly elevating your hosting game.
At the bar, her jewel-topped cocktail swizzle sticks and colorful wine charms don’t just look glamorous—they’re conversation starters. With designs ranging from pineapples to butterflies to candy canes, there’s truly something for every mood and moment.
And don’t overlook the decorative clips—a Joanna Buchanan favorite. Use them to clip place cards, embellish floral arrangements, or even personalize napkins. They’re whimsical, detailed, and endlessly versatile—perfect for the host who wants something unique without going custom.
Joanna Buchanan makes it easy to create a table that feels deeply personal, joyful, and completely you—without ever having to special order a thing.
