Polo Ralph Lauren Holiday Window Displays

With the changing of the holidays and seasons, Polo Ralph Lauren’s window displays change too. It’s amazing to see how the right decor can give a store front a particular feeling. I had the opportunity to speak and exchange emails with one of their wonderful employees who sent us some photos of their autumn display windows. Used in these displays are hundreds of hydrangea stems (in burgundy and in cream), all purchased at www.afloral.com. Here are 2 pictures of the Polo Ralph Lauren displays in the fall season for you to be in awe of:
