Festive Finery: Highlights from the 2022 Kappa Kappa Gamma Holiday Homes Tour

The Kappa Kappa Gamma Holiday Homes Tour decks the halls of architecturally significant homes with festive finery by Kansas City’s most gifted floral designers, all in support of worthy causes. The tour is also a great opportunity to pick up tips on making our own holiday homes merry and bright.

Information on the 2023 Tour Since 1951, the Kappa Kappa Gamma Holiday Homes Tour has transported us to a winter wonderland where all is merry and bright. This year, from December 6 through 7 , Kansas City’s top florists and designers will show us how to put a little holiday spirit in every room. 

Oh, Christmas Tree. . .

T he tall Christmas tree in Travis and Amy Hiles’s Kansas City Tudor home seems to glow from within. And that’s by design. “Lighting is so important,” says designer Katie Laughridge of Nell Hill ’s . “Wrap lights around the tree from the bottom up, around each branch,” she suggests. Amidst the glow, cherished Christopher Radko ornaments hang from velvet ribbons, while a vintage tree skirt, garlands, and sprays of faux red berries complete the look.

Laughridge added a few more holiday “moments.” A collection of Christmas houses and bottle-brush trees sits atop a radiator. A garland of faux greenery, baubles, and ribbons draws your eye up the staircase. On the dining table, one of Nell Hill’s signature place settings combines white and silver chargers, pink velvet ruffled placemats, cupcake plates with a cloche on top, and garlands down the table. “Using faux greenery gives you the gift of time,” says Laughridge. “You can put up your decorations earlier and leave them up longer.”  

Season’s Greetings

F or longtime client Lynne Beaver’s home in Mission Hills, Chuck Matney of The Little Flower Shop celebrated the holiday season with winter’s finest florals, from fresh greenery to amaryllis, poinsettias, sprays of red winterberry, colorful ranunculus, hellebores, and white narcissus that will scent a room. “I love using fresh for the look and the fragrance,” he says. “I knew Lynne already had a great collection of Christmas decorations, so we were able to simply enhance that.”

Winter flowering plants bring a festive feel to every room of the house, from the winterberry branches in the blue-and-white china vases on the kitchen island, to the individual bouquets at each place setting in the dining room, parrot tulips in the primary bedroom, and the arrangement on the hall console table that greets you. A fresh evergreen tree, topped with a gold star, holds keepsake treasures and spurs the homeowner on to make new memories. 

Deck the Halls

F or Mark and Valerie Brandmeyer’s Fairway home in classic coastal colors, the team from Studio Dan Meiners added pops of color and a little fun, starting with a fabulous fuchsia reindeer taking center stage. An exuberant garland of pink, blue, and white ornaments and ribbons cascade down a staircase. The flocked tree in the living room adds other references to the seaside—coral and seashells. The second flocked tree in the primary bedroom keeps it quiet with blue globes, tiny wooden figures, and snowflakes. “Keep your mind open to adding a new twist to your traditional décor, maybe a little outside your comfort zone, so it feels fresh and inviting,” Meiners suggests.

“Another key to holiday décor is how you store it for the next year,” he says. “Ornament boxes with cardboard in-between work like a dream. And I always store the tree topper on top.” 

Making Spirits Bright

Fo r the Mission Hills Georgian owned by Brett and Michele Oettmeier, Chuck Matney of The Little Flower Shop went full-on Christmas. Illuminated glass trees glow on mantels and tables, wreaths of shiny baubles glitter, fresh magnolia leaves mixed with faux take your eye up to a large beribboned wreath above the fireplace, and tiny white lights make the greenery garlands sparkle day and night. Even in a room of subdued olive and coral and brown, “All the decor is essentially green and white with lights,” he says. “You can never go wrong with that for the holidays.”

On the kitchen island, a vase of greenery with pops of red amaryllis and New Zealand peonies stands near a Santa in charge. They lead the way to the dining table set with charming little gingerbread houses, burgundy glasses, and faux winter trees at every place.

White House Sets Visit for Kansas City Chiefs Following 2024 Super Bowl Win

For the second time in two years, the champs will have an audience with President Joe Biden

The Super Bowl champs are headed back to the White House!

The Kansas City Chiefs will celebrate their 2024 title on Friday, May 31 with a visit to Washington, D.C., where they will meet with President Joe Biden , according to a press release issued by the White House.

It will be the second visit in two years for the team, after winning Super Bowl LVII in 2023. In 2020, the Chiefs didn’t get a chance to celebrate their title at the White House after the ceremony was canceled due to COVID.

The visit comes amid a controversial offseason for the team — and could make for some awkward moments. Earlier this month, kicker Harrison Butker was openly critical of Biden and his policies during COVID in his commencement speech at Benedictine College on May 11.

Since then, Hoda Kotb ,  Jenna Bush Hager ,  Maria Shriver  and  Flavor Flav  have pushed back on claims made in his speech, while the NFL said the league does not agree with  his views.

“Harrison Butker gave a speech in his personal capacity. His views are not those of the NFL as an organization. The NFL is steadfast in our commitment to inclusion, which only makes our league stronger," Jonathan Beane, the NFL’s senior vice president and chief diversity and inclusion officer, told PEOPLE in a statement.

Despite the controversy, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said during a May 17th press briefing that an invite was extended to "the entire team."

When asked about Butker, Jean-Pierre said, “What I can say is we invite the entire team and we do that always. I don’t have anything beyond that." She later added, “It’s an invitation that goes to the team, and so it’s up to the team who comes and doesn’t come. It’s the way it usually works.”

Last year’s Chiefs-Biden matchup was not without its own highlight reel when quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce had some fun at the podium. The playful moment happened when Biden posed for a photo with Mahomes, 28, and Kelce, 34, holding up a Kansas City Chiefs No. 46 Biden jersey. After the photo, the president, 81, turned his back to the podium to lay the jersey down and Kelce scooted over to the microphone.

"So, I've been waiting for this," Kelce casually began before Mahomes rushed over and escorted him away from behind the president’s podium. “Sorry! Sorry!” the quarterback said, waving his hand to apologize as the whole team began laughing behind them.

Biden raised both his hands up and laughed along with the confusion.
