These decorative greenery ball decorations are perfect seasonal replacements for summer hanging baskets & are simple to make! I chose an elegant white, & soft gold color scheme. Choose different floral & ornaments to go with your decor. You could also add lights (I added a 20 light strand but didn't have an extra cord to plug it in). These would also look great for winter weddings!

With a dark-red & silver color scheme, this snowy tree has just a hint of color. Burlap warms the look and adds a rustic touch next to the elegant mercury glass ornaments.

Episode 6
Elegant & wintery, this frosted floral arrangement is the perfect decorative addition to any spot in your home! Coordinating floral can be time consuming, so to save time, choose a pre-made bundle of floral and add in your own accents to bring it to life. We chose this white floral bundle & added a variety of artificial pine for extra texture and height, as well as some frosty leaves to break up the shape & add a wintery texture. This arrangement would also be perfect for winter weddings!
Episode 5
Smokey blue, gold, and cream colored ribbon give this tree an old-fashioned Victorian color scheme. Ornaments in silver, gold, light blue, and off-white continue this color scheme while warm ivory candle lights add to the vintage feel. With only 100 candle lights illuminating the branches, this tree's lights are subtle & not overpowering, like the soft color scheme. A coordinating angel in off white & soft gold was used to top the tree.
Episode 4
With a silver & gold color scheme, these neutral planters will look great anywhere. The addition of a large lantern (and flame-less timer candle) warms the look. Artificial pine garland & pine floral were used rather than real so they can be reused year after year!
Episode 3
Here is a quick video showing how to light a Christmas tree! Light amount is a preference, so if you like more subtle lighting, weave the lights closer to the edge to use less. If you want more, weave a little further into the tree. This balsam fir is lit with incandescent string lights. I used about 850 light count on this 7.8 ft tree. 150 of those are twinkle lights that were mixed in (after the regular lights) to give the tree a sparkling look!
Episode 2
Adorned with golden paper stars, this gilded tree is covered from head to toe with golden ornaments & glitter floral. In the first part, I will show you how to make 3D paper stars - an easy craft!
