How to Accent a Christmas Tree with Flowers

Video Transcript

"Hello my name's Melissa Schenk and on behalf of Expert Village today we're going to be talking about how to elegantly decorate your Christmas tree. In this set let's talk about how to elegantly decorate your tree using flowers on and off your tree. First let's talk about using flowers off of your tree. By that I mean real flowers. You can decorate the bottom of your tree using things like poinsettias depending on the color of the poinsettias too. In this case we used red poinsettias because we've got burgundy trim and some burgundy flowers into the tree. Now, those of course are real. We use arti ficial flowers when we're filling the tree and that's what we do call the flowers when we're putting them into the tree, they're fillers. They tend to go back either a little bit further or right at the front here as you can see here. But the thing about the flowers is what, they do just that, they are fillers. So they are filling up some of the space and whether we use green flowers or the burgundy flowers or berries with all sorts of different colors. Again, we go back to the earlier clips. Pick a them, so in this case, we've got a color theme we're using all of the colors and the flowers to work together toward our color theme here. But, the neat thing about the flowers is it fills up the tree, it makes it look great, fills in the empty spaces but it makes it add that extra touch of elegance. "
