X-Mas Decoration Accessories
There’s no holiday in the world quite like Christmas. The snow is falling softly, the merry spirit is in the air, the Christmas carols ring in your ears, and the feeling of Santa is near. Perhaps one of the many factors that make Christmas so exciting are the beautiful decorations that create a festive atmosphere both outside the house and within. There’s always that classic tall Christmas tree followed by the stockings, the warm glow of the fairy lights, milk and cookies, and much more. What can elevate your decoration plans even more this year is the addition of natural plants and greenery. No, we’re not only talking about that tree. We’re thinking just a little more creative to unlock your full decorating potential.
This Christmas year let’s open the gift that natural plants and greenery can bring as the perfect X-Mas decoration accessories. We’re sure that all the stylish ideas you discover will positively jingle your bells and keep your spirits bright.
Wreaths
Wreaths are a beautiful and natural addition that you can to your front doors, windows, or wherever you see fit to hang. The classic take on a wreath is one made of holly leaves and berries, but wreaths come in a variety of hues, flowers, and leaves. Their presence throughout tradition has usually served to represent celebration and honor, which accurately depicts the holiday’s sentiment. Did you know that ancient Greeks usually hung wreaths on their lovers’ doorways to convey their affection?
Although we use our wreaths a little differently today, there’s no denying that they add a gorgeous appearance to any home. You can grab an individual one or opt to be creative with your wreath designs by hanging dual wreaths to match your surrounding decor.
Green Garlands
Similar to wreaths, garlands are a band made up of flowers, leaves, and foliage. They were commonly used in history for religious purposes and at celebratory events, and now it’s time to furnish your home with these nostalgic decoration accessories! Be sure to clean up your old bookcases, staircases, mantles, and fireplaces of any dust and grime that have accumulated. Then, go ahead and drape as many garlands as you want in these empty places to liven your home’s spirit. Got an old radiator? Add a garland! Have a council table sitting in the living room? There’s a perfect spot for your garland too. Plus, you don’t have to leave the garland as it is. You can spice things up by adding string lights, flowers, or other creative additions within the garland for a fun look.
Tiny Topiaries
Why always opt for a large Christmas tree every time? This year, you can go for some small topiaries that are perfect to display around the home. Not only are they incredibly cute, but also wonderful to take care of and raise. Topiaries will last with you far beyond Christmas when the holidays are over. By actively trimming and clipping them, you can create beautiful ornamental shapes that match your personality. Plus, the more you take care of them, the more you might also develop a passion for the refined art of horticulture. Plants such as holly, laurel, or boxwood make great choices for topiaries to place around your home.
Bouquet
When it comes to decorations, never forget about the dining table! Because it’s a place where all your friends and family are gathered to enjoy a big meal, it’s a wonderful opportunity to let their eyes feast on the natural plants that you add. A great idea for a table centerpiece is a standout bouquet. You can make the bouquet as green as you want with a variety of plants or add a splash of color with the large diversity of flowers that are available. Poinsettias always add a vibrant red color, as well as holly, pansies, and more. Your local garden center staff are happy to help pick out some of their favorite recommendations.
Mistletoe
Among all the Christmas traditions, kissing under the mistletoe probably stands out as one of the most romantic and dates far back to the 18th century. To create those memorable experiences at your next holiday party or gathering, hang a few mistletoes under a few of your doorways here and there. This small evergreen shrub can be a source of many laughs, bright spirits, and holiday cheer. It’s a perfect natural decoration accessory to invite into your home.
Pine Branches
Pine boughs are one of the most popular Christmas decorations. Not only can they be inserted to your wreaths and ornamentals, but they are also small and easy to work with. There are no limits to what you can decorate upon with pine branches. You can stack them, add them to your flower arrangements, line them along your tables, stuff them in your stockings, and whatever else your heart desires. They really contribute to a more personal yet dazzling holiday display with a fresh aroma.
Traditional Tree
Of course, no decoration encapsulates the Christmas spirit better than the classic tree. No matter if you want a large tree or a few mini trees here and there, they make a perfect place to gather your gifts under. Trees also provide the opportunity to combine all the knowledge you’ve just read about X-mas decoration accessories. You can cover your tree with countless ornaments, string lights, pine boughs, garlands, mini-wreaths, and more. Make your tree as special as your Christmas spirit. If you want some decorating suggestions or tree types that best suit your vision, talk with your local garden center staff. They’ll be more than happy to help create that holiday spirit.
With all those ideas in mind, it’s time to start Christmas decorating! The more natural greenery you add, the more festive your display will be. Don’t hesitate to ask your local garden center any questions you may have. Have a very merry Christmas!
