  Christmas is a time to celebrate with your family and loved ones. Decorating a Christmas tree gives you a chance to express your creativity. One variation on the traditional Christmas tree is a white tree. Whether the tree is real and flocked white or is an artificial white tree, it allows you to create a different look and use decorations that you may not be able to use on a standard green tree.
  
  

Elegant

• Create a unique and elegant look on your white Christmas tree using ribbons, fake pearls and cameos. Instead of using garland on your Christmas tree, decorate the tree with satin ribbon in a soft, powder blue or light pink color. Drape it around the tree, just as you would do with garland. Adorn the white Christmas tree with fake pearls by loosely placing them around the tree. Hang vintage cameos from the branches as well.
  
  

Sea-Inspired

• A unique idea is to create a sea-inspired white Christmas tree. It's certain to be a conversation piece. Use garland, ribbon or glass beads in a teal or ocean blue color to wrap around the tree. Use ornaments in the shape of shells and seahorses and hang them on the branches. A starfish tree topper adds a nice touch to this themed tree. Clear lights look best on this tree.
  
  

Silver

• Another idea for your white Christmas tree is to decorate it with silver and crystal ornaments, garland and tinsel. The ornaments should be crystal, all different shapes and types are fine, with silver touches. Some shapes to use for ornaments include star-shapes and round balls. The lights on the tree should be clear, white lights. When you light up the tree, it will look like it's glowing.
