The Magic of Christmas Wonderland: Creating an Enchanting Indoor Theme
A Christmas wonderland theme is ideal for any party, winter wedding, or even a family gathering during the holiday season. It allows you to celebrate both Christmas and winter and can be a lot of fun to put together.
To start off, you will need Christmas decorations which include an artificial Christmas tree and other ornaments. When buying the tree, make sure to keep the following points in mind:
- Your current space. Measure the area where you are planning to place the tree. Make sure the tree tip is six or more inches below the ceiling (take a measuring tape with you). If you are looking for a smaller one, there will be many options to choose from.
- Pre-lit or not. If you wish to avoid the hassle of purchasing and putting on Christmas lights, then go with a tree that is pre-lit. These types of trees are really convenient and come in white, transparent, and multicolored options. Keep in mind that when the bulb stops working, the rest should remain lit.
- Color. The place where you are shopping for the tree will typically provide you with multiple color options. These options include dark greens, light greens, and browns. Getting a tree that has a mix of green shades with a hint of brown will look more realistic than a monotone green tree, so keep that in mind.
The Joy of Christmas: Simple and Stunning Decor Ideas to Make your Home a Festive Wonderland
Once you have the artificial Christmas tree in place, it is time to design around a theme. In the case of Christmas wonderland, you should focus on traditional Christmas along with wintry decorations. That will include a lot of crystal, mercury glass, and cream-colored ornaments and trims. To add extra sparkle, use clear lights and a big beautiful Star for topping off the tree. A tree-topper is very important for tying the entire look together and definitely works to attract attention. Make sure to get one that is in line with the theme, and don’t forget to consider the height of your ceiling.
When decorating the tree, always start with the lights, then move on to wreaths and garlands as they are comparatively easier. For added flair, add white and/or red decorative ribbons to your tree. You can either use one colored ribbon for the entire look or utilize different contrasting ribbons for added texture and more impact.
Other elements that will really give off that wonderland feel are floral sprays and tree picks. These include decorated berries, twigs, branches, and pinecones. Use these accents sparingly yet strategically to elevate the visual appeal of the tree as well as your room. Use a floral wire to bunch together different picks, and you will have a new adornment.
While your main focus might be on the tree, you need to ensure that the rest of the room is in sync with the décor. Don’t go overboard with the little decorations, and create a well-balanced theme that complements your house as well as showcases your personality.
