Why choose an artificial cedar as the base for a Christmas tree?
Artificial cedars are typically associated with the summertime, when they are used to adorn patios and balconies. However, did you realize that you can use it again as an outdoor Christmas decoration? Season after season, our cedar is there to make your decor look beautiful! Its durable and thick structure makes it ideal for decorating. It can fit in any location because it is available in a variety of sizes.
Steps to decorate an outdoor tree (or rather, a cedar)
Your cedar decoration can be endlessly reinvented. A Nordic Christmas with white and silver tones? Or perhaps a warm Christmas with red and gold? Artificial cedar goes with every trend, year after year!
Ready to get started? Follow these simple steps to transform your artificial cedar into a whimsical Christmas tree:
1- Prepare your cedar
Clean your cedar after each season, then spray it with UV protector to prevent discoloration. Don’t forget to open the stems of your cedar to give it the look of a real Christmas tree.
2- Place the cedar in a pot:
Use an outdoor planter for your cedar if you want a better final look and to make it easier for decorating. You can also buy it already potted here.
3- Add string lights
Wrap your Christmas lights evenly around the cedar, starting at the bottom and working your way up, to create a magical lighting effect.
4- Hang ornaments
Arrange baubles, ornaments and decorations harmoniously, varying sizes and colors for added impact.
5- Incorporate decorative stems
Prick some festive stems such as berries or pine between the branches for a fuller, dynamic effect, adding height to your tree.
Tips for securing your decorations
For a perfectly decorated tree, it’s crucial to secure your ornaments properly. Use green wire (used in floristry) and hooks to hold your decorations in place. Remember to balance the weight by spreading the decorations out strategically!
How to complete the surrounding decor?
An illuminated cedar is magnificent, but it’s even more impressive when surrounded by additional decorations. Consider incorporating elements such as pine garlands along the railings. If you’re placing your cedar outside, why not add wreaths or lanterns to the ground to create a welcoming vibe?
