It's that magical time of year where my Instagram feed is taken over with Christmas trees and, in this year's crop, there's one trend I'm noticing more than any other - the alternative base. It seems the traditional Christmas tree skirt is falling out of favor for other ideas, and we've seen trees in everything from planters, baskets and even on raised platforms and tables.
It makes a Christmas tree feel a little more like an indoor plant, rather than a classic Christmas tree - something that can make your decor look more elevated, and even a faux Christmas tree look a little more realistic.
