Read on to learn about the many ways you can decorate your yard for the winter season! You can also get some tips about how to light your outdoor trees or bushes in a way that reflects your traditional holiday spirit. When it comes to the holiday season, a little bit of lighting can go a long way. Get out your string lights and your decorations, because this winter is going to be a festive one.
START WITH SIMPLE STRING LIGHTS
You can never go too overboard with string lights around the holidays. There’s a wide variety of string lights, from large colored bulbs to twinkling white icicles. You can even mix and match to create a sense of vibrancy and color.
You usually pay by the foot for string lights. If you have trees and bushes in your front yard, you can keep things festive yet classy by wrapping white lights around them. Try dangling some icicle lights from your branches to give the effect of snow and ice. Colored lights work well around the trim of your house - just make sure to be safe and use a proper ladder when installing them.
EMBOLDEN YOUR ENTRYWAY
The steps leading up to your front door can make a huge statement when it comes to making your yard look like a winter wonderland. Make a personal impression with custom-made candelabras and wreaths. Decorate your brick or stone steps with homemade candles out of bottles, bags, or golden tins. This will create an ambience that can be reflected throughout the entire yard for an eye-catching and inviting entrance to your home.
ADD A TOUCH OF GREEN WITH BUCKET PLANTERS
The holidays are truly the best time to get creative. You can invest in bucket planters to add dimension to your winter wonderland in the making. There are several evergreens, including cypress and fir, that can be grown small enough to fit in custom-made bucket planters. You can find metal or wooden buckets that are decorated in a festive nature.
Place a miniature tree in buckets all around your front yard. Decorate them with simple lights or ball ornaments to add a touch of color. Neighbors will want to stick around and stare at your beautiful yard!
AUGMENT YOUR EXISTING YARD WITH PINECONES AND OTHER NATURALLY FESTIVE WINTER DECORATIONS
When it comes to decorating for the holidays, the best way to create a winter wonderland is to work with what you already have! You can augment your already-beautiful yard with a few added touches that really say, “The holidays are here!”
For example, you can gather bunches of pinecones and frost the tips for a snowy look. Hang these bunches from your trees, window planters, or entryways to give the impression of a snowy cottage. Tie a colored ribbon around your mailbox for some extra curbside fun.
It’s not all about the lights - use the natural elements to your advantage as well!
