"The first thing in Griffin's step-by-step approach is adding twinkle lights to the tree, then tucking in larger ornaments. 'Next, I add the smaller decorative ornaments, and finally, I add the tinsel or bows on the edges of the tree limbs,' Griffin shares."
"Designers say German glass ornaments, Christopher Radko ornaments, cascading ribbon, festive bows, and warm white lights are among the most popular Christmas tree decorations. Metallic decorations, whether gold, silver, or copper, are another favorite. 'I love decorating with metallic ornaments because they reflect the light so beautifully,' Bonney-James shares."
"For Bonney-James, a timeless Christmas theme includes a fresh tree. 'I'll trade messy needles for an aromatic, nostalgic experience any day,' she says. Another must-have are warm white lights, which is why she recommends checking the temperature of LED lights to make sure they don't appear blue. The addition of silver, gold, and white decorations completes the timeless look and adds festive shine."
Begin decorating by adding twinkle lights, then tuck in larger ornaments, add smaller decorative ornaments, and finish with tinsel or bows on the edges of the tree limbs. Keep the process playful while retaining a sophisticated feel. Popular decorations include German glass ornaments, Christopher Radko ornaments, cascading ribbon, festive bows, and warm white lights. Metallic ornaments in gold, silver, or copper are favored for their light-reflecting sparkle. For a timeless theme, use a fresh, aromatic tree, warm white LEDs checked for correct color temperature to avoid blue tones, and silver, gold, and white decorations for festive shine.
