How to Decorate the Perfect Christmas Tree

Putting up the perfect Christmas tree is truly second nature for me. During the holidays, I am inspired daily by new and exciting ideas on how to personalize and create trees that fit each individual perfectly. When gazing upon a finished tree, the first question is always:

How do you even know where to start with something like that?!

For a long time, that question has not made sense. It has always been so easy for me to know what to do since it seems that I dream of trees! After being asked time and again, I’m here to try to help all of you by showing the process I use to put together a perfect Christmas tree. I’ve “curated” this how-to video to show you the stages of selecting your tree, stringing the lights, placing the ornaments, and giving the tree an unexpected finish. I hope this inspires and excites you for the season.

Merry Christmas!

    I would love to know the maker of your Christmas tree? I watched the video of you and your mom decorating her artificial tree and I’d love to find one like that!
