Why Choose a Beachy Christmas Tree?
If shoveling snow and bundling up in layers doesn’t excite you this holiday season, then perhaps it’s time to take a break and go on a tropical vacation. While not everyone has the luxury of going on a trip during the holidays, you can still feel like you’re on a sandy beach with a beachy Christmas tree.
A traditional Christmas tree is a beautiful sight to behold, but nothing quite compares to the allure of a tropical paradise. With a beachy Christmas tree, you can enjoy all the charm of a winter wonderland while adding some exotic flair to your living room.
Instead of decorating your tree with traditional ornaments, think outside the box and incorporate seashells, starfish, and other beachy elements. Choose ornaments in coastal colors, like turquoise, coral, and sand. Add some strings of seashell garland for extra visual interest.
How to Create the Perfect Beachy Christmas Tree
Now that you’re convinced a beachy Christmas tree is the way to go this holiday season, it’s time to start decorating. Here’s how you can create the perfect beachy Christmas tree:
Step 1: Choose the Right Tree
Traditionally, a fir or pine tree makes up for the best Christmas tree. However, experiment with a white or turquoise artificial tree since you are going the beachy route. You can find these colors in local stores or opt for a DIY project and paint your tree a bright shade.
Step 2: Incorporate Beachy Elements
Once you have your tree in place, it’s time to start decorating. Look for ornaments made of shells, driftwood, or anything embodying coastal vibes. You can also create your ornaments by painting tiny seashells and starfishes or converting your favorite beach finds into decorative ornaments. Invest in some seashell garlands – they’ll add the perfect pop of color to your tree
Step 3: Add Tropical Lights
Instead of using traditional Christmas lights, opt for string lights that give out a beachy feel. You can find string lights in the shape of palm trees or garlands with tropical flowers. Add decorative LED lights in bottles filled with sand and exotic trinkets to add a visually appealing, warm glow.
Step 4: Add the Finishing Touches
Every Christmas tree needs a tree-topper, and a beachy tree’s final touch is no exception. Swap out your traditional star for a unique tree-topper that goes with your theme, like a shipwreck, a nautical compass, or a starfish.
With these four easy steps, you’ll have a beachy Christmas tree that will transport you to a tropical paradise. So why not enjoy the festive season with margaritas in hand and let your beachy Christmas tree set the mood for an unpredictable and exciting holiday season?
