Whether you're gearing up for the Fourth of July, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, or simply want to show your American pride year-round, here's how to transform your Tribeca Spruce into a beacon of red, white, and blue.
Now for the fun part – layering in those vibrant reds and clean whites!
Ribbons & Garlands: This is arguably the easiest and most impactful way to introduce your colors.
Bold Red Ribbons: Drape wide, satin red ribbons through the branches, creating flowing cascades. You can tie bows at various points or simply let them weave organically.
Crisp White Garlands: Opt for white bead garlands, faux pearl strands, or even delicate white tinsel to provide contrast and brightness against the blue and red.
Stars & Stripes: Look for ribbons or garlands that incorporate subtle stars and stripes patterns for an extra touch of Americana.
Ornaments with Meaning: Think beyond just traditional spheres.
Red & White Ball Ornaments: Of course, classic red and white ball ornaments are a must. Vary their sizes and finishes (matte, shiny, glitter) for visual interest.
Star-Shaped Ornaments: Glittering red or white stars are perfect for a patriotic theme. Consider some with a distressed or rustic finish for a charming touch.
Mini American Flags: Tuck small, delicate American flags into the branches for a truly special accent. They add a touch of reverence and history.
*Remember artificial Christmas trees are not just for Christmas anymore. They can be decorated year round. Last year, I decorated my gifted King flock Slim tree with pumpkins and fall colors.
