The Garden Party Long 27", the summer front door bow that earns every compliment.
There is a particular kind of summer front door that people slow down for. Not just notice, but actually slow down for, phone in hand, taking a photograph without really thinking about it. It is the front door with a bow that looks like it grew there: full, lush, soft, and impossibly alive. That front door belongs to someone who knows about the Garden Party Long 27" ribbon bow.
The Garden Party Long 27" is a summer front door bow in the truest sense. A floral and garden-inspired ribbon composition that evokes exactly what its name promises. Hanging from a wreath on a white cottage door or framing a deep green entry on a coastal Maine home, it is the piece that turns a handsome house into the house on the street.
What Makes a Summer Front Door Bow Actually Work
A bow that works in summer has a specific quality: it feels alive with the season rather than applied to it. The Garden Party Long 27" achieves this through its ribbon selection. Soft, layered tones read like a garden in full bloom rather than a holiday color scheme. It does not announce itself as a spring decoration or a summer swap-out. It belongs to the season so completely that it seems inevitable.
At 27 inches, it creates the kind of full, generous presence that reads from the street and stops people in their tracks. The long tails drape beautifully below the bow's center, giving it the graceful movement that bows made from stiff or low-quality ribbon simply cannot achieve. This is a bow that behaves like fabric rather than plastic, and the difference is visible from twenty feet away.
The Best Wreaths to Pair with the Garden Party Bow
The Garden Party Long 27" is designed for maximum versatility. It works equally well on a lush magnolia wreath, a eucalyptus and dried floral wreath, or a more architectural boxwood style. For the full summer garden effect, the Turnberry Magnolia Wreath offers deep, glossy greenery that makes the Garden Party palette sing. The contrast between the magnolia's dark leaves and the bow's garden florals creates a combination that photographs beautifully in every light.
For those who prefer something lighter and more coastal, the Turnberry Salal Wreath provides a softer, more airy backdrop that lets the Garden Party bow carry the visual weight. Either pairing elevates the front door from pleasant to genuinely memorable.

Summer Styling: The Front Door as First Impression
In the communities where House of Turnberry customers live (the tree-lined streets of Connecticut and coastal Carolina, the wide porches of Sea Island and the Hamptons, the shingle-style entries of coastal Maine) the front door is not incidental. It is an introduction. It tells guests something about the home and the people inside before they ever ring the bell.
A front door wearing the Garden Party Long 27" says something specific: someone here pays attention to beauty, has a particular taste, and cares enough to extend that care all the way to the exterior. Guests arrive already expecting something good inside. Neighbors walk by and think about their own front doors. That is the quiet power of a truly beautiful bow.
Take the Garden Party feeling through the home with the Garden Party Mini 13", perfect for an entryway basket handle, a picture frame filled with summer blooms, or a small wreath on the pantry door. It carries the season from the front door to every room that matters.
