Styling our Christmas tree every year is one of my favourite ways to decorate our home for Holidays. I love when a tree is well styled without feeling too formal. After studying a bunch of different combinations, I’ve laid out my favourite elements to include for a casual and laid back feel.

Tying ribbon into bows on various branches of your tree adds a really beautiful detail and extra layer on top of the ornaments. I love that this is a fairly simple and inexpensive way to change the look of your tree from year to year.
PRO TIP: USE A COMBINATION OF TWO TYPES OF RIBBON FOR EXTRA VARIATION

I’m a huge fan of a woven tree collar over a tree skirt. I love that it fills a bit of the gap between the bottom branches and the floor. Also, the woven detail is a really pretty layer to add to the overall tree.

Adding some natural tones is key to getting a more relaxed and casual feel. One of my favourite ways to do this is by incorporating a wood bead garland. The long strands also add some pretty visual interest throughout the tree.
