DIFFA Dallas Wreath Collection 2025: Après-Ski

 

This signature event marks the official kickoff to the Dallas holiday season, where designers from across the country reimagine the classic wreath for DIFFA’s unforgettable auction - our Wreath Collection 2025 on Thursday, December 4 from 6pm-9pm.

This year, the spirit of après-ski takes center stage.

Step into a transformed space inspired by vintage alpine retreats — warm woods, candlelight, faux-fur throws, and the inviting glow of fireplaces set the tone for an evening that blends mountain lodge comfort with high-style sophistication. Retro ski details and a touch of playful nostalgia evoke the golden era of alpine escapes.

Dress the part or simply embrace the vibe: after a day on the slopes, it’s all about statement sweaters, vintage vests, and cozy textures. Sip specialty winter cocktails, gather with friends, and take in a stunning collection of designer wreaths as imaginative and daring as any chic chalet soirée.

Here, the tradition of holiday giving goes off-piste — creativity shines, generosity flows as freely as the cocktails, and every bid on our custom wreaths supports DIFFA Dallas and our mission to combat HIV/AIDS and related challenges in our community.
