1. Create the Perfect Spray Topper

The top of your tree sets the tone for the entire design, and we start with the spray topper to give it a dynamic, full look. The key to a professional tree topper is selecting sprays with varying textures and shapes. For this white theme, we recommend starting with frosted or glittered branches, silver berries, or white twigs that mimic the look of freshly fallen snow.

Pro Tip: Position your sprays in different directions—some pointing upwards, others spreading outward. This will create a dramatic burst effect, adding height and volume to your tree. Make sure to fluff out the sprays for a fuller look, adjusting until they cascade perfectly over the sides.

2. Add Elegant Ribbon

Ribbon is a critical element to achieve that polished, designer tree appearance. For this all-white look, white and silver ribbons with touches of sparkle or metallic accents are ideal. Choose different widths and textures to add dimension and contrast.

Here’s our method for perfect ribbon placement:

  • Start at the top of the tree and work your way down.
  • Cut the ribbon into 2-3 foot strips instead of using one continuous piece. This gives you better control and allows for more creative placement.
  • Weave the ribbon into the tree, tucking it in and out between branches. Allow it to gently cascade downward, creating loops that add softness and movement to the tree.
  • Mix it up with a combination of bows and loose strands to fill gaps and keep the design dynamic.

The result? A lush, luxurious feel that gives your tree a balanced, flowing design.

3. Add Sprays and Florals Using Our Flower Clusters

Next, we introduce White Christmas sprays and florals to create a rich texture and complete the look. For this design, we recommend using flower clusters from our collection, featuring white poinsettias, snowy magnolias, and glittered accents. These flowers instantly add a touch of elegance while enhancing the frosty, winter vibe of the tree.

Here’s how to use them:

  • Insert clusters of flowers evenly throughout the tree, focusing on areas where the tree might seem a bit bare. Use larger blooms to fill bigger spaces and smaller floral accents to balance.
  • Layer different types of sprays such as icicles, snow-dusted branches, or frosted berries to create depth.
  • Ensure that you place some flowers closer to the trunk for added depth, while others should sit on the outer branches to create a layered, textured look.

These floral clusters give your tree that dreamy, ethereal feeling that makes it look like it’s straight out of a winter wonderland.

4. Add Ornaments Last

Finally, the crowning glory of your Christmas tree design: ornaments! Adding Christmas ornaments last ensures they don’t get buried under ribbons or sprays, letting them truly shine. For the white Christmas tree theme, we recommend a selection of ornaments in silver, white, and clear to maintain that crisp, frosted look.

Here’s our tip for flawless ornament placement:

  • Start with larger ornaments, spacing them evenly throughout the tree. These will act as focal points.
  • Next, layer in medium-sized ornaments, filling in any noticeable gaps.
  • Finally, use smaller ornaments as accents, placing them closer to the tips of branches to draw the eye to the outer edges of the tree.
  • Don’t forget to add a few specialty pieces like glittered snowflakes, crystal drops, or mirrored ornaments for an extra touch of sparkle!

By saving the ornaments for last, you ensure that they’re highlighted and not overshadowed by your other decor elements.
