Christmas decorating is my thing. Every year I struggle to put the 40+ strands of lights on my own (non-decorator) tree. Here are some tree decorating tips I have for you:
1) Start with your lights on the trunk. Lighting the trunk with 3 strands running straight down the trunk makes a huge difference in the depth of field for your tree.
2) Switch to LED warm white (or colored, that's your thing) fairy lights. These are much easier to handle than traditional green corded lights.
3) Move from the inside out. You can go bananas and wrap your branches like I do but a faster solution is to run your strands vertically, gently weaving them all the way down the tree. (Makes for faster removal, too.)
4) And, please, remove the tags on your light strands.
5) If you have a faux tree, you can add supplemental lighting for that wow factor.
Those are my tips! Do you have any you want to share because I would love to hear them!

Time lapse is fun!!! This lap pool transformation into a waterfall with a waterlily "pond" became so much more than I had envisioned thanks to the amazing talent of designer extrordinaire @donmchestnut . It was a dreamy and dramatic backdrop for the wedding of Pagoda Bride @emnyems and Charlie Greer. Thank you so much to the Edwards family @mmcedwards for allowing us to be creative for you. We loved every second we spent with all of you!!!
