Merchandising the Xmas Windows

Today I helped my manager at work with the christmas windows which was really fun but it was a big job and we had spent the day before preparing what we were going to put in each of the windows and clearing them out ready! We kind of had an idea of the colours we wanted to use and we knew what we were going to put on the mannequins. We started by laying the fabric snow in each window.
I then started putting bows and ribbons on bags and boxes to go in the windows! We also thought it would be cool to do something different with the lights so I made
holes in the boxes so that we could poke the lights through!

This was really effective!

I also sprayed each of the corners of all three windows which looked really cool when they finally frosted up!
This was one of the smarter mannequins which we picked a satin vivienne Westwood suit and shirt! It looked really smart when it was in!

In each of the windows I also made little boxes up of some of the accessories as I thought that would be good idea for christmas presents when people walk by! almost like little xmas hampers! That took a while arranging the small boxes into the right colour coordinations and placing things to look right!
Each window had a slightly different theme so it was just a case of arranging things to look right on the tables and on the floor.
The first window was the smart window, the second was more casual with thick jumpers, jeans and scarves and the third window was a bit younger with hoodies and trainers more of a fun window for our younger customers!

This is me trying to arrange the table so it all is in key with the colour themes!



In this picture I was just giving the windows a final touch by adding some sparkly glitter to the snow!
