You can't beat a whimsical Christmas tree. From organza decor to metallic ornaments and bells, bringing an ethereal look to a tree is always a winner in our books.
Just look at Sharon Stone's tree from 2000 for further proof: the actor decorated a Christmas tree as part of Merv Griffin's 7th Annual Christmas Tree Lane Lighting Ceremony and Live Auction of Trees, and the result is a twinkly, voluminous tree that transcends trends.
To achieve the look, incorporate tulle or organza as a drape, like this gold ribbon from Amazon, alongside some metallic ornaments, such as these champagne balls. Finally, if you want to make it extra-whimsical, add an angel tree topper for a dramatic finish.

'Twenty-five years later, this look remains the definitive gold standard for whimsical holiday design. It's a testament to the power of thoughtful, textural styling,' comments Megan Slack, the head of Celebrity Style at Homes & Gardens.
'By using high-volume, soft elements like sheer tulle and cleverly relying on light and metallic sheen, the tree achieves a weightless, ethereal sophistication that simply doesn't age. It’s not just a decorated object; it’s a masterclass in elegant, atmospheric decorating that continues to influence how we approach holiday styling today.'
