After years and years of decorating and photography Christmas trees for a living, I’ve learned a thing or two about how to hang Christmas ornaments like a pro! Read on for some little tips and tricks I use every year!
Tip #1
Hang ornaments as close to tree branch as possible.

Tip #2
If ornament is on ribbon or a wire, loop it around the branch a few times.

Tip #3
You don’t have to use regular ornaments! These crystals add sparkle and a soft look a a background to let ornaments shine!

Tip #4
Space out the color in a pattern — in this photo there are dark blue ornaments spaced out in an almost triangular form to move your eye around the tree.

Tip #5
Go all one note with silver ornaments, silver tree picks and silver snowflakes for ornaments that add sparkle and shimmer and texture but in a one-note tree!

Tip #6
Don’t forget that you can hang ornaments in places beyond the tree! My manzanita branch centerpiece has ornaments hanging from it for a gorgeous and unique dining room centerpiece!
