    The correct answer is the first choice: ", her house bedecked in garlands of flowers," The sentence, therefore, should read, "Señora Alvarez, her house bedecked in garlands of flowers, waited excitedly for her guests to arrive." The inserted phrase is not necessary for the sentence to be grammatically correct, so therefore it is surrounded in commas, as an aside.
