Roger’s Gardens in Corona del Mar has once again curated a hauntingly memorable Halloween boutique experience for its guests. Drawing over 100,000 visitors from September through October, this theatrical retail experience is a year-long labor of passion and precision.
Guided by the visionary insights of Head Merchant Hedda Staines and Holiday & Home Décor Buyer Crystal Pittman, the theme is meticulously brought to life.
Starting in January, collaboration begins with artisans and manufacturers, crafting custom, one-of-a-kind collectible pieces exclusively for the boutique.
By May, the artistic synergy between the buyers and the wickedly talented Visual Merchandisers at Roger’s Gardens embark on producing hand-crafted props, setting the stage and further enhancing the allure of the Halloween space.
Two and a half weeks before opening day, a dedicated team of 10 Visual Designers tirelessly transform and shape the boutique.
The boutique boasts seven distinct areas, each a harmonious blend of handmade props, one-of-a-kind artisan pieces, and over 500 expertly styled products spanning the spectrum from traditional classics to contemporary chic.
