A journey born from a mother’s joy
What began as a mother’s desire to create magical holiday memories for her young son has blossomed into one of Saipan’s most cherished holiday decoration businesses. “Being a first-time mom, I wanted to deck our home with the holiday spirit for my 3-year-old son at the time. I like seeing the excitement and joy it brings him,” Reyes shares, her eyes lighting up as she recalls her crafting journey’s beginnings.
From that humble start in Northern California in 2019, word of her artistic touch spread quickly. “I went from decorating my home to decorating friends and colleagues’ homes to starting my very first fall wreath [collection] in September 2019,” she recalls.
By her first Christmas season, Reyes had already crafted over 35 wreaths for clients throughout Sacramento County and the Bay Area before bringing her artistic vision to Saipan in 2020.
Wreaths that tell your story
Each Designer Wreath & Co. creation is a masterpiece of dedication and creativity. “Every wreath I create is different and unique. Rarely do I duplicate a wreath unless it’s for the same client,” Reyes said.
This commitment to originality means that when you order a wreath, you’re not just getting a decoration—you’re getting a one-of-a-kind piece of holiday art.
Using premium materials like wired ribbons, deco mesh, wreath wires, flowers, and carefully selected picks on a lush green base, Reyes crafts wreaths that range from 28 to 34 inches around and up to 6 inches thick. These substantial pieces make a striking statement on any door or wall, commanding attention while welcoming visitors with seasonal charm.
Next-level crafting
Before setting up Designer Wreath & Co., Reyes already had a successful career as a mortgage loan officer and mobile notary business owner, serving multiple counties in California. This professional background now translates into impeccable attention to detail and customer service.
For Reyes, wreath-making is more than a business—it’s a creative outlet. “Wreath-making is my way of releasing stress,” she shares, explaining how each piece benefits from this mindful, therapeutic approach to crafting.
When art speaks to the heart
The magic of Reyes’ wreaths sometimes transcends decoration, her artistic intuition allowing her to create pieces that resonate on a deeply personal level, even unintentionally, and creating lasting emotional connections.
She recalls one instance when she was out shopping for materials. “I was so attracted to a bouquet of ivory and white roses. I completed the wreath and sent the image to my aunt. My aunt called me immediately and told me that those were her son’s favorite colors and asked me how I knew. I didn’t. That left me so emotional.”
It’s these kinds of meaningful connections that make each Designer Wreath & Co. creation more than just a seasonal decoration; they become cherished pieces that can hold special significance for their owners.
Affordable luxury for your home this holiday season
Despite the bespoke nature and professional quality of her work, Designer Wreath & Co. are surprisingly affordable. Wreaths range from just $45 to $75 each, with prices varying based on size and materials used. Currently, holiday shoppers can take advantage of special seasonal offerings, such as the Christmas Cross wreath, available at a discounted price of $60 (originally $75).
