Meet Christina

Your home should look extraordinary at Christmas. Christina Ignatius has spent more than 20 years helping make that happen.

A Scottsdale resident, wife and mother of three, Christina has built her career around flowers, beautiful spaces and the art of creating an unforgettable atmosphere. She has decorated homes for Christmas for two decades, bringing together exceptional florals, distinctive ornaments, beautiful hard goods and an experienced designer's eye to create homes that feel polished, luxurious and completely ready for the season.

Christina's style is difficult to define by one particular look—and that's intentional. Her work has been influenced by years of travel and study around the world, with particularly strong influences from Belgium, the Netherlands and Hawaii. European design brought a sense of artistry, scale, restraint and unexpected composition to her work, while Hawaii deepened her appreciation for extraordinary flowers, natural materials, color and abundance.

The result is a style that feels sophisticated without feeling staged.

Christina knows where to find things most people don't. Over the years, she has developed relationships throughout the floral and design industry that give her access to exceptional fresh flowers, greenery, unusual botanical materials, ornaments, ribbon and distinctive decorative pieces. She is constantly looking for something different—the element that keeps a Christmas home from looking like it came directly from a showroom floor or was copied from this year's catalog.

And she knows what to do with it when she finds it.

That is ultimately what you're hiring Christina for: her eye.

She knows how to take a beautiful tree and make it exceptional. She knows when a room needs drama and when it needs restraint. She knows how to mix expensive pieces with sentimental ones, how to use flowers and natural materials in unexpected ways, and how to create the small moments throughout a home that make the entire Christmas experience feel complete.

Her work is also informed by a career spent at a high level of professional floral design. Christina is widely known and respected within the floral industry as a designer, educator and mentor. Her work has taken her onto national stages and into an international community of leading floral designers, educators and artists. She has built a reputation that extends far beyond Scottsdale, and her schedule increasingly includes teaching, design work, collaborations and invitations throughout the United States and abroad.

For her Christmas clients, however, all of that experience comes home.

Christina lives here. She understands Scottsdale homes, Scottsdale entertaining and the way families here celebrate the season. She also understands that when you're inviting family, friends, clients and neighbors into your home during Christmas, you want it to look special.

Not simply decorated.

It's warm, it's inviting, it's breathtaking.

It should feel like Christmas MAGIC!

The tree should be the tree everyone wants to photograph. The entrance should make an impression before anyone reaches the living room. The fireplace mantel should look exceptional. The details should feel considered. And when friends and family ask who did your Christmas, there should be a name behind it.

Christina Ignatius.

For a limited number of Scottsdale and Paradise Valley homes each season, Christina brings together twenty years of Christmas experience, international design influences, extraordinary floral materials and her own distinctive eye to create something very simple:

A home that looks spectacular for Christmas.
