Those of us with large backyards have the privilege of being able to decorate Christmas trees beyond the confines of our living rooms – and Chrissy Teigen and John Legend have set a high bar for what an outdoor tree scheme can look like.
As seen on Marketing Studio Los Angeles' Instagram page, the couple went for a traditional, nostalgic-leaning look with an array of faux-snow-covered pine trees, all of which are adorned with red and gold ornaments, as well as white lights. It's a trendy yet timeless Christmas tree idea, and surprisingly easy to recreate.
