You May Be Surprised To See What People Are Using To Make Their Christmas Trees Look Beautiful

by N/A, 10 years ago | 2 min read

Instead of relying on traditional flashy (and occasionally kitschy) Christmas ornaments, people on the internet have been using more natural beauty to decorate their Christmas trees. They've used flowers paired with ornaments and lights–or even just flowers in some cases–and the results are naturally beautiful.

A modern trend in Christmas tree decoration–favoring the use of flowers over traditional ornaments–is simultaneously simple and beautifully intricate.

Although it's entirely possible this is a callback to some of the earliest Christmas trees, which were decorated with apples, dates, and other plant-produced items.

People have been pairing flowers with other traditional decorations to give their trees more natural, homey looks.

I've never seen trees decorated with flowers before, but I suddenly hope I see a lot more.

The results are extremely photogenic.

And decorating your tree with flowers makes for a great holiday DIY project.

This tree is prettier than most people.

And that's damned impressive. I've never been so attracted to a tree.

Creating your own flower tree can be very simple. All it takes is a few well-placed and well-picked flowers.

And voila! you have your own beautiful flower tree.

You can go 100% natural and use only flowers on your tree.

Beautiful in its simplicity and attention to color.

Or, you can go all out and use flowers, lights, ornaments, everything–and have one hell of an impressive Christmas tree.

ProTip: match the flowers to the color of your walls and tablecloths.

I definitely want to try this this year.

It looks like precious little flowers are actually growing out of the tree!

If you're feeling really bold, why not just make an entire tree out of flowers?

That takes some skill.

You can even decorate your tiny baby tree with flowers!

And it's just so adorable.

The long and short of it: creatively decorating your trees with flowers is a great way to create some contrast between a typical, common Christmas tree and a modern, inspired, and unique one!
