ADD FLORAL ELEMENTS. At Aldik we use all kinds of items to fill in space: branches, flowers, berries, glitter branches, large-scale flowers. |
||
 |
||
DESIGN A THEME TREE. At Aldik, for example, we have a New Year’s tree with masks, hats and wide ribbon with musical notes printed on it. The color scheme is blues, whites and gold. |
||
 |
||
ADD A SURPRISE COLOR like purple to your traditional red-and-green color scheme, or any jewel tone. |
||
 |
||
THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX. For example, instead of putting the star on the top of the tree, for a modern vibe stick it in the side. Or instead of a star at the top, use a big flower. |
||
 |
||
USE WIRED RIBBON that is 3 or 4 inches wide. On a larger tree this helps make a statement. Back one ribbon with a wider one for a really rich feel. |
||
 |
||
USE NONTRADITIONAL ITEMS for ornaments—like peacock feathers, stars, snowflakes and butterflies. |
||
 |
||
GO COUTURE with the tree skirt. Opt for luxurious velvet, velour, rhinestones, gold lamé and embroidery. |
