You can use a traditional green Christmas tree, a flocked green Christmas tree, a white Christmas tree, or a silver Christmas tree for your Tiffany & Co theme.
Consider how your Tiffany blue ornaments will look against the tree color when choosing your Christmas tree.
Christmas Lights
The items found inside Tiffany & Co boxes typically sparkle, so ensure that you have enough sparkling lights on your Christmas tree.
Start by decorating your Tiffany blue Christmas tree with clear or white non-blinking lights.
Be aware that some lights are a cool color that is more blue and some lights are a warm color that is more yellow (which designers prefer), so make sure to use the exact same lights throughout your tree.
Green trees get lights with a green wire and white trees get lights with a white wire.
Use a minimum of 1 strand of 100 mini lights per foot height of tree (a 9 foot tall tree would get 9 strands of lights).
When applying your lights, start at the back bottom of your tree with the lights plugged in. Apply the lights starting at the trunk, run them on top of one branch, then back to the trunk on that same branch, and repeat on every branch.
For a gentle twinkle effect, add one or two strands of slow twinkle lights #ad applied throughout your tree, but avoid standard blinking or flashing lights that can be too harsh.
You may also want to include one or two strands of string lights that are slightly larger to add a bit of variety.
If you really like sparkle, feel free to add more lights, especially since most of the lights will be covered with ornaments.
Garland
You can apply garlands to your tree, however this step is optional.
For an elegant look, you can use ribbon. For a rustic look, you can apply grapevine.
Ornaments
You can use standard sphere ornaments in a Tiffany blue color, or you can decorate your Christmas tree with Tiffany boxes.
Feel free to stray a bit from being too literal with the Tiffany jewelry store theme and add a bit of your own personality to your Christmas tree.
If your Christmas ornaments will be Tiffany boxes, you can use authentic Tiffany boxes or blue boxes that look similar #ad.
Place your Christmas ornaments evenly around your Christmas tree.
If you are using Tiffany boxes, you can use boxes of all the same size and shape or use different shape and size boxes.
Step back occasionally and look at your Christmas tree from a distance to ensure you are adding the ornaments evenly.
You don't have to use only Tiffany blue ornaments - you can also add other colors that coordinate with Tiffany blue, such as gold and silver, and/or the colors in your room.
Trimmings
Fill in the open spaces of your Christmas tree with textural floral or evergreen picks, and other unique items that coordinate with the Tiffany blue theme.
You may wish to incorporate a little black, some feathers, some pearls, or maybe some animal print.
Consider the colors in your room and perhaps add some items using those colors to complement your room's color scheme.
You can even add some natural elements to make the room feel more warm and welcoming, such as pine cones, metallic spray painted twigs, or other natural elements.
Top and Bottom
Don't forget about decorating the top of your Christmas tree and below your Christmas tree.
If your Christmas tree top looks nice, then you don't have to add anything.
If you want to add items to the top of your Christmas tree, consider using floral picks with rhinestones #ad or other glittery items sticking out of the top.
Below your Tiffany Christmas tree, add gifts wrapped in boxes of all shapes and sizes in the Tiffany blue color wrapping paper #ad and white ribbon.
You might also choose to add patterned wrapping paper or other colors of wrapping paper and ribbons for a more fun and festive look.
