Set the stage for an angel vignette that will be seen immediately by arriving guests. Puddle a white bedsheet; satin, metallic gold or silver cloth; or quilt batting on the floor.
Step2
Arrange the vignette on your stage. It could be a trio of singing angels; a single angel flanked by two reindeer; an angel, a reindeer and a small white or flocked Christmas tree; an angel surrounded by pots of white poinsettias; or any other angel scene you'd like to create.
Step3
Scatter a few small, curled white feathers on the stage to hint at angel wings.
Step4
Toss an angel-theme Christmas throw atop a table, chest or chair in the entryway.
Step5
Add a stuffed angel or angel doll to the seating. It could be posed angel-on-my-shoulder style if it's atop the back of a chair.
Step6
Incorporate angel decor on the top of a table, chest or console in the entryway. For example, a large white ceramic angel could be surrounded by votive candles flickering in simple candleholders, or a group of country-style angels could nestle in a big basket full of excelsior.
Step7
Decorate the interior side of the door with an angel wreath. You can make your own by wiring or gluing angel ornaments to a craft-store wreath of white "greenery" or white silk poinsettias.
Step8
Dust the windows lightly with snow paint to add to the mystique.
Step9
Use nylon monofilament line (fishing line) to suspend an angel from the center of the entryway ceiling or the light fixture.
Step10
Add angels to your banister if it's part of the entryway. You could hang angel ornaments between the banister spindles, or top the handrail with several rows of garland and nestle in the angels.
Tips & Warnings
Angel ambience tends to be best if you keep the color scheme mostly white, ivory and pale beige, perhaps with a touch of gold or silver.

Use a pedestal or small table and wrap touille up the base with a white string of white mini lights inside. Take a gold or silver wreath and lay it down on the pedestal with white mini lights coming from underneath the wreath, then place your angel in the center.
