Steps
Set the tree in a sturdy stand and fluff every branch from the bottom up. Open the tips so the tree looks full and has no obvious gaps.
Test your warm white lights first. Starting at the bottom, wind them upward in loose spirals, pushing each section into the branches and hiding the plugs.
Add a wide ivory velvet ribbon. Make soft loops or cascades from top to bottom, spacing them evenly, then tuck the ends into the branches.
Hang the largest crystal and clear glass baubles first. Place them inside the tree and near the front, leaving space between each one.
Fill the gaps with smaller white and champagne gold ornaments. Group them in odd numbers, such as three, and vary the heights.
Add icicle ornaments and crystal drops at the branch tips. Let them hang freely so the warm lights catch the glass.
Place a statement crystal or gold topper at the top. Check it from the front and adjust it so it stands straight.
Cover the base with a white or ivory tree skirt. Add a few wrapped gifts in white, gold and clear tones to finish the look.
Step back to check the whole tree. Move ornaments to fill bare spots and make sure the ribbon and lights look balanced.
Tips and common mistakes
Put the lights on before the ribbon and baubles so you can hide the wires easily.
Keep to white, ivory, clear glass and champagne gold to stop the tree looking busy.
Use a stable step ladder for the top of the tree and keep the floor around it clear.
Check the tree from the doorway, not just up close, and fill any dark gaps.
Questions
Do I need a real tree for this look?
No. A full artificial evergreen tree works well. Fluff the branches carefully so the ribbon and glass ornaments sit evenly.
What kind of lights should I use?
Warm white LED lights suit crystal and glass ornaments best. Avoid cool white or multicolour bulbs if you want a soft, elegant glow.
How do I stop the ribbon looking flat?
Use a wide velvet ribbon and make loose loops or cascades instead of wrapping it tight. Tuck the ends into the branches to hide them.
