1 hour Weekday Xmas Setup Rental

The Evergreen Lounge

Rich, warm, and effortlessly elegant. This setup channels the Ralph Lauren Christmas aesthetic with its earthy tones, vintage textures, and understated luxury. A soft linen settee sits beneath a graceful evergreen garland, framed by petite trees and classic ribbon details. Muted greens, taupes, and creams come together to create a look that feels both polished and inviting.

The White Christmas Parlor

Classic and dreamy, this scene feels like stepping into a cozy winter morning. Frosted trees, a whitewashed fireplace mantel draped with greenery, and antique gold accents bring the timeless charm of a European Christmas to life. Neutral furniture, soft throws, and nutcracker details add to the nostalgic, peaceful atmosphere. It is ideal for elegant family portraits who want the high-end look.

The Holiday Glam Set (Bonus Setup!)

A bold, festive corner that’s pure holiday fun! Think shimmering silver tinsel, oversized red ornaments, candy cane props, and disco balls for that extra sparkle. This setup is included as a bonus backdrop! Perfect for quick, playful portraits, holiday cards, or brand content with a bright, modern twist.
