A Four-Year Tradition: Inside Our Annual Wreath Workshop With Teknion

A Four-Year Tradition: Inside Our Annual Wreath Workshop With Teknion

For the fourth year in a row, we have the joy of hosting one of our favorite holiday traditions: a private wreath-making workshop with the incredible team at Teknion, one of Washington, DC’s leading design firms.

If you’re not familiar, Teknion is a major player in the architecture and design world. Their work shapes some of the most innovative commercial interiors across the country — from tech-forward offices to hospitality spaces that blend beauty and function. Their philosophy centers on human-centered design, thoughtful materials, and seamless collaboration, which is exactly why our partnership works so well. They understand the power of craftsmanship, detail, and creating experiences that feel good to the people inside them.

And that’s exactly what this workshop is all about.


Where Creativity Meets Friendly Competition

Every year, we gather Teknion’s clients, designers, and collaborators in their gorgeous downtown DC showroom — a sleek, light-filled space that feels equal parts workplace and gallery. With cocktails in hand and holiday bites circulating, the energy is always high. And we have to admit… there’s always a bit of friendly competition.

No one wants to be out-designed by the designer standing next to them.
We’ve seen mood boards pulled up on phones, ribbon color debates, and wreaths so sculptural they could double as modern art.


Elevating the Design, Year After Year

One of the best parts of this tradition? Each year’s design builds on the last.

We bring only the best:

  • A refreshed, elevated ribbon selection — velvets, metallics, soft neutrals, and statement colors

  • Unexpected accoutrements like dried citrus, textural pods, luxe botanicals, and carefully curated greenery

  • Premium tools and supplies to make every wreath look intentional and dimensional

  • A design demo that leans into simple structure, loose movement, and that signature She Loves Me style

The result? Wreaths that are genuinely one-of-a-kind — personal, expressive, and worthy of a spot on the front door (or, in Teknion fashion, as a piece of decor inside a beautifully designed office).


Why We Love Private Wreath Workshops

Private workshops like this one have become some of our most requested holiday experiences. They’re perfect for:

  • Team building (collaboration comes naturally when ribbon becomes a group sport)

  • Client appreciation (nothing says “you matter to us” like a hands-on creative moment)

  • Holiday celebrations that feel elevated without being formal

  • Creative expression in a season that often gets… well, a little cookie-cutter

Teknion’s group brings out the best in us — and their joy, curiosity, and design-oriented eye make this event a highlight of our December calendar every single year.


Here’s to Year Five and Beyond

As we wrap up our fourth year together, we’re already dreaming up what next year’s wreath palette will look like. Something lush? Something sculptural? Something unexpected? (Probably all of the above.)

A huge thank you to Teknion for trusting us with their clients, their team, and their holiday celebrations.
We love creating beauty with people who care about design as much as we do.
