Christmas Tree Decorating Ideas: Trends for 2011
Everyone loves a Christmas tree, but sometimes you want a change. The same tree from year to year can get boring, and if you've changed your interior decor, you might find your old tree just doesn't have the same charm. So, how do you get a new look for this old tradition? Believe it or not there are trends from year to year. Here are some of the most interesting.
The Natural Look. If you're ready to replace your artificial tree with something new, why not try a flocked tree? These new trees are convincingly realistic, and since they already have a covering of snow, halve your decorating has been done for you. Finish them off with some more realistic touches, wrap the tree with a grapevine garland to add some bulk, add white and iridescent ball ornaments and if your tree is large, have them increase in size towards the bottom. If you want some color, add some red berry picks to the branches and add another touch of icy winter, crystal icicles dripping from the branches. For a little more color, add tiny birds. The result is very natural and realistic, and if you find it too 'cold' add some red ball ornaments in different sizes.
The Beach Tree. If you like to escape the cold for the Holiday season there's no need to abandon tradition. You can decorate a tree for warmer climes. Once choice would be an artificial palm tree. These are available from the big DIY stores as well as online, and are a fun addition to your celebrations. They don't have many branches and so don't need a lot of decoration. If you are truly on the beach, why not gather some shells and transform them into ornaments with some wire and air dry clay. The final touch would be some spray glitter. If a palm tree is really not your style, but you're looking for something to match the cool color schemes used in many warm regions, why not choose a white tree? These can look stunning decorated in a color, so feel free to match your decor, blue and turquoise ornaments are very popular this year.
Think Pink. One of the most surprising trends to arise from the many new colors available, is the popularity of the pink Christmas tree. There are many forms to choose from, cupcake pink is a delicate shade and cries out for decoration in the 'ice cream' colors, in fact cupcakes and cones are a very popular theme in Christmas ornaments this year. You can also find cupcake garlands. Slightly more avant garde are the shocking pinks and pink/violet trees which have appeared in the last couple of year. Again Christmas ornaments seem to have been developed especially for them; you'll find handbags and high heels another popular theme this year.
The Christmas Tree is the focal point of your Christmas decor. Pick a new idea and enjoy!

Christmas Lights - Decorating Your Quinceanera With Lights!
The celebration of Quinceanera is a tradition marking the transition of a young girl into womanhood at 15 years of age. The Quinceanera is known well throughout Mexico, but is now also celebrated in other countries as well. In the United States, we would equate the Quinceanera with a Sweet Sixteen party or even a debutante ball thrown for a woman who has reached 18 years of age.
To a bystander, the Quinceanera might appear to be a wedding celebration. There is a mass conducted with the guest of honor surrounded by her maids of honor (girls) and chamberlains (boys). All are dressed in fancy gowns and decked out as if attending a wedding. The celebration of Quinceanera focuses on the girl of honor and her dress, tiara, jewelry, ceremony gifts, the waltz or dance, and of course, the party following the church mass.
Decorating for a Quinceanera is similar to decorating for a wedding reception held either inside a banquet hall or outside in God's creation. The banquet hall is decked out with tables for the guests, a gift table, food table, dance floor and a DJ booth. Pink and white mini LED lights add sparkle and beauty in several ways.
Here are a few ideas on where to use our LED light sets.
· Surround all of the doorways of the banquet hall with mini lights
· Topiaries are stunning with flowers that match the party theme and pink and white mini LED light sets
· Tulle or taffeta fabric intertwined with white and pink mini LED lights used to decorate the table where the guest of honor is seated, around columns, the gift table, and around the guest of honor's chair
· Battery operated mini white LED lights in and around the table centerpieces
· For an outdoor celebration, use our white and pink mini LED light sets to deck out arbors and tables.
· Use C6, C7, and C9 light sets to add sparkle to the surrounding trees, shrubs, and walkways of the party area
· Create a wall of light behind the DJ booth using several strands of our pink and white light sets. Use flowers or other party decorations to add some dimension to the light "curtain".
· For the outdoor Quinceanera, use light stakes to elevate pink and white mini light sets along the driveway to welcome friends and family.
· Create an arbor of lights above the party area with sets of white and pink LED light sets
· Create a mural of photographs of the 15 year old growing up from an infant to the present day and then highlight her photographs with lights surrounding the display.
The Quinceanera is a very special event meant to honor and pamper the young lady of 15 years old and symbolizes her stepping into the state of womanhood. The decorations, gifts, and attire all serve to focus on the guest of honor.
Using mini LED light sets, Raspberry lights and Strawberry lights to decorate your Quinceanera will make your event one that will be remembered for years to come.
