When it comes time to decorate the resort for the holidays, Twin Farms looks to one man.

One of many individually decorated Christmas trees at Twin Farms

Tedd Kapinos of Jasper & Prudence Floral (jasperandprudence.com) started his business in Woodstock, Vermont 17 years ago catering to the brides who flock to the scenic green mountain state for their weddings. In the past decade, after all the vows have been promised, he puts away the flowers and takes out the pine to decorate the exclusive all-inclusive resort Twin Farms.

On average each year, over the course of two weeks, he puts up and individually decorates 33 live Christmas trees, one for every cabin and the common areas, and strings up miles and miles of lights. Many of the guests this time of year are regulars who have made it their tradition to eschew holiday stress for rest, relaxation and pampering. “We try and make it different and special each year,” says Kapinos. The planning and shopping begin in the spring and then just moments after Thanksgiving ends, Kapinos and his team head to Twin Farms to begin decorating. “We’re like little elves sneaking into rooms when the guests are away to put up the tree,” he says.

Even the wreaths are adorned

The cabins’ unique designs often influence their tree’s aesthetic but Kapinos follows a theme for the main house which is furnished with a 12-foot tree. He recommends that homeowners also think of a way to unify their tree decor. “Even if it’s as simple as red, so in between the old, mismatched family ornaments there is a piece that gives it continuity,” he says. This year he’s seeing an earthy, organic, natural woodland trend playing out in mushrooms, felted ornaments and handblown glass. Another holiday decorating tip for homeowners? Start early. “Don’t wait until after Thanksgiving to think about Christmas.”
