You can use a traditional 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.
Use 1 strand of 100 mini lights per foot height of tree (a 9 foot tall tree would get 9 strands of lights).
The lights should be placed toward the tips of the branches and the trunk of the Christmas tree - running inside and outside along the branches.
Next, add your blinking lights. Start with only 1 strand wrapped only around the trunk of the tree. If you need extra sparkle, add more strands one at a time only around the trunk.
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.
Ornaments
You can use standard sphere ornaments in a Tiffany blue color, or you can decorate your Christmas tree with Tiffany boxes.
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 and the colors in your room.
Trimmings
Fill in the open spaces of your Christmas tree with beautiful ribbon, textural floral 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, grapevine, large leaves, 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 other colors of wrapping paper and ribbons for a more fun and festive look.
