    I’ve used a lot of your tips while decorating my trees, but the most helpful one is color blocking. I’m a stickler for things being evenly placed, so this process helps me to evenly distribute my ornaments by color. Mel, your tree and decor is absolutely amazing....per usual! Thank you for another season of sharing. Looking forward to the other vids! ❤️

  • @my4boysmom
    @my4boysmom 4 роки тому +4

    My favorite tip is about the tree tip count and the lights, the True Needle helps in my shopping. I learn so much from you.

  • @wildforesable
    @wildforesable 4 роки тому +7

    Hey Mel. My favorite tip is hiding ornaments deep in the tree to get the sparkle from lights bouncing off ornaments

  • @monic004
    @monic004 4 роки тому +7

    Magnificent, you can just stare at your tree for hours. My favorite tip is decorating with the most glittery ornaments from the inside out. Tfs, see you tomorrow.

  • @thewellstyledhome1494
    @thewellstyledhome1494 4 роки тому +1

    As usual, You’ve outdone yourself Mel! Your tree is GORGEOUS! My favorite Christmas tree decorating tip is your Oldie but a Goodie of placing ornaments deep into the tree to allow light to reflect through them. It really does at more holiday SPARKLE to the tree!

  • @ashleygipson86
    @ashleygipson86 4 роки тому +1

    My favorite tip was definitely the tucking the more reflective or sparkly ornaments deep within the tree so the lights can reflect off them. I have never heard of starting with the inside of your tree and working your way out with the ornaments. I’m definitely going to put this into use tomorrow when I put my tree up! Thank thank you for all the tips not just that one!! It helps a lot!🎄🙌🏽😃

  • @chatyriameadows3229
    @chatyriameadows3229 4 роки тому +4

    I love your holiday theme this year. My favorite tip was definitely for the ornaments. Putting the ornaments on the tree is always frustrating because I want to make sure it’s even and it’s not too loud or busy in one area.

  • @debbrad477
    @debbrad477 4 роки тому +34

    Gorgeous Christmas tree and that is the prettiest ribbon I've ever seen. You are so fortunate to be sponsored by Balsam Hill🌴💝🌴

  • @kearashelton5446
    @kearashelton5446 4 роки тому

    each year your tree gets better and better, I love this one! I also really appreciate the tip about putting on the tree topper first you mentioned this last year and it was a game changer for me, but my favorite is the color blocking because now I can have a more justified reason for excessively organizing my christmas decor

  • @karilightfoot6461
    @karilightfoot6461 4 роки тому +3

    My favorite tip is letting the ribbon fall where it wants to, I’m going to try that this year

  • @traceymoore4673
    @traceymoore4673 4 роки тому +6

    Here we go! My favorite tip is one that my sweet Mom taught me - put blubs deep in the tree, it gives depth and an added beauty. And if I can share one, it's a little tedious but it shows off the bulbs. Place white lights deep in the tree by the trunk. It lights it so beautifully. :)

  • @margaretb8314
    @margaretb8314 4 роки тому

    I have never been disappointed when I tune in on a new video of yours. The tree is stunning and I am thankful for all the tips and decor ideas . You definitely have a gift and I am thankful that you share it with us.

    Beautifully done, I'm going to step out of my comfort zone this year and drape the Christmas tree with ribbon... Thanks for the tips

  • @allthingsdisney5376
    @allthingsdisney5376 4 роки тому

    Love this! Your style, graceful way of doing things, class, sophistication, elegance, and humility is to be admired. My favorite tip was making sure that you look for a higher tip count, and a fuller tree doesn't necessarily mean you'll spend a great deal more.

  • @rosemaryvalentino7804
    @rosemaryvalentino7804 4 роки тому +1

    My favorite tips are tucking ribbon deep into the tree and placing ornaments, preferably sparkly, deep into the tree. I look forward to your Christmas videos every year. 🎄💕

  • @teishagomez1958
    @teishagomez1958 4 роки тому

    Your tree is beautiful this year! My favorite tip was to tuck the ribbon deep into the tree to maintain the shape of the tree and to use ties to keep it in place. I have such a struggle fighting with ribbon to make it look like it naturally flows with the tree and it always wants to pop out of the branches. So thank you for that tip!

  • @crystallee9952
    @crystallee9952 4 роки тому +2

  • @Bebenlv

    @brittanygrebinger7993 4 роки тому +1

    Everything looks SO gorgeous!! You literally have my dream house 😍♥️. My favorite tip is when you shared about tucking the ribbon deep in the tree and color blocking. Using decorative ribbon on my Christmas tree has always been a challenge for me, but now I think I know what to do different! I hope my tree looks half as gorgeous as yours 😍.

  • @mlmf5530
    @mlmf5530 4 роки тому +3

    That tree is gorgeous! I love how full it is and the mirrored ribbon and tree skirt look so luxurious. The ornaments are just so elegant looking. You chose beautiful colors. I notice you stuck some sparkly sprigs in between the trees branches. I think I need to do that. My tree always ends up looking like it needs something and I think that’s it. 🎄

  • @tiffanywilliams2071
    @tiffanywilliams2071 4 роки тому

  • @rachelhill7759

    @TorresChris64 4 роки тому

    I am so excited to start watching the 12 days of Christmas...The tree is Stunning!! I actually chose the same colors for my tree this year so it was great to see some great ideas. My favorite tip was to put the tree topper on first! I always wait till the end and always have to be so careful. I also saw Ty hanging out by the gifts!!

  • @deanwantsit3616
    @deanwantsit3616 4 роки тому

    Beautiful!!! My favorite tip was on how to select the right type of tree. I am going to buy a new tree this year and knowing I should look for light count and tree tip count is extremely helpful. Thank you for all the great tips.

  • @brendamerion8522
    @brendamerion8522 4 роки тому

    Love the tips but my favorite and most helpful tip is the ribbon. Making sure that the ribbon is secured and pushed close into the tree so that it’s looking like it’s naturally flowing out of the tree is a great tip for me, thank you!

    @deloriswilson1160 4 роки тому

    I love the color choices of your tree. The best tips were tucking older ornaments deep inside the tree and attaching the ribbon onto the tree branches. The Balsam Hills tree is beautiful. Also, I saw the Elf in the Tree standing amongst the lovely wrapped presents.

    Melonie you have provided me with some great tips that I could have never thought I should be doing. My favorite one is to do the tree topper first usually I leave that for last but I realize it is a lot of hassle so getting it on first is a score 🎯 and this is so gorgeous

    Sis, I fell in love with this collection last year, which inspired my theme for last year and this year's tree as well, but when I say you did an amazing job of doing it justice 😍😍 oh my goodness this tree is exquisite. You definitely are the "Queen Of Christmas". Now I'm even more excited to start decorating for Christmas. My Favorite Pro Tip is Color Blocking Ornaments. These are words I live by because when you see that magical twinkle from within the tree there's nothing like it. Definitely taking more notes..This is why I adore your channel you honestly put your heart and soul into a vision and flawlessly create timeless masterpieces, but most importantly you are creating memories for your family that will last a lifetime. Can't wait until tomorrow. ☺️

    Your tree is so beautiful!! Love all the pearls...I actually have about 6 different pearl garlands on my tree and it looks gorgeous! I have the more expensive kinds, but some are just from the drugstore and they reflect the light and look beautiful as a background for the more stand out pearls. I love mixing the shapes and the bling altogether. I also have some strands of clear crystal looking garlands mixed in as well and they're gorgeous as well. I can't begin to tell you how many are on my tree, but I do the "color blocking" you mentioned for my garland as well so they are evenly distributed. Gorgeous!

    What a gorgeous tree this year !!🎄🎄🎄 I must say the ribbon is crazy ! Great tip for securing it. With such a large tree putting that topper on first is my second favorite tip. I also love ornaments on the inside of the tree I do that as well and I saw you had a little helper at the bottom of the tree helping with the boxes. Can't wait what's tomorrow's video.🎄🎅☃️🎄🎅☃️🎄🎅☃️
