Savory Affair Gives Easy Holiday Decorating Idea

The Savory Affair, New England’s premier event planning and design company, today launched a new online video series focused on providing easy decorating and entertaining ideas.  With the holidays just around the corner, the first video in the Wine & Design series focuses on a timeless holiday tradition, the Pomander Ball.  New Savory Affair Event Planner, Alexandra Kreher, explains how in just a few simple steps, you can have a beautiful decoration that delights the eyes and scents the home for the season.

“We are so excited to offer these new video vignettes that will provide quick tips for decorating, entertaining, wine pairing and hosting a fabulous gathering,” stated Jessica Granatiero, owner of The Savory Affair and local wine shop favorite The Savory Grape. “Our first video gives customers an easy way to accent their home and capture the spirit of the season.”

Traditionally used in the mid-13th century, Pomander Balls were worn or carried in a vase to control not-so-nice smells. Today they’re used as décor or potpourri for your home – plus they are simple, quick and inexpensive to make.   

In the 2-minute video, Alexandra walks the viewer through a few easy steps to achieve a unique holiday look using only a few supplies:  oranges, toothpicks, whole cloves, cinnamon, a Ziploc Bag and decorative ribbon.  

Alexandra recently joined The Savory Affair team as an event planner, but has been involved in the event industry in Rhode Island since 2009. Most recently Alexandra served as the Festival Director of Bright Night Providence, the New Year’s Eve Festival that takes place in downtown Providence each year. She has worked as a consultant to a plethora of event planners in RI, assisting with upscale events and weddings as well as planning events independently.

Over the next few weeks, more Wine & Design videos will be posted to The Savory Affair website, www.thesavoryaffair.com, all seeking to give visitors the ideas and tips they need to enjoy a savory holiday!
