We get asked about ribbon constantly. What makes one ribbon better than another? Why do some bows look full and beautiful and keep their shape all summer, while others go limp within a week? These are good questions, and they have a real answer.
The ribbon is everything. The bow is only as beautiful as the ribbon it is made from. And the difference between good ribbon and great ribbon is the difference between a front door that looks nice and a front door that makes people pull over.
The Ribbon That Holds: Garden Party Long 27"
If your style is the curated home, the front door that looks like real thought went into it, the Garden Party Long 27" is the ribbon we suggest first. The wide wired edges are what make the difference. They allow each loop to hold its position. The bow stays full and structured in wind, in heat, after a rainstorm. Without wired edges, even a beautifully made bow relaxes and flattens within days.
We see it constantly: someone uses inexpensive ribbon, makes a gorgeous bow, and then watches it quietly collapse over the course of a week. The Garden Party ribbon was designed to prevent exactly that. It holds. Season after season, it is the ribbon customers come back to because it looks just as beautiful in late June as it did on the day they put it up.
When You Want a Beautiful Bow Without the Work
The Garden Party Designer Bow gives you the same beautiful result, fully made and ready to hang, using the same quality ribbon as the long sets. If your preference is a front door that looks extraordinary with thirty seconds of effort, this is exactly the right choice.
Many of our customers keep both: the ribbon set for the seasons when they enjoy the process, and the designer bow for the seasons when they just want a beautiful front door, immediately.
The Ribbon Worth Investing In
Good ribbon is an investment in a front door that looks beautiful all season, in a bow that holds through everything the weather brings. The Garden Party collection was designed with that in mind, for homes that take their entrances seriously.
