Winter whites and lights

 My Holiday and winter pots all start with the Idea that these arrangements will still look good after the holidays. Here fresh noble fir collars and boxwood are just the beginning of this arrangement.

 The window boxes also get this fresh green collar treatment, though somewhat time consuming, and messy I love the look.

It snowed the night before I did this installation, this is the most snow we've had so far, and it was gone by later that afternoon. Once the evergreen collars are done you can begin to add you centerpiece. Here white sticks,red berries and snowball lights complete the look. 

 This box is on the side of the house next to the drive way and out side the library window. The snow added a nice touch.

 The font of the house gets decorated in White lights of various sizes and shapes, his adds texture. Garlands and wreaths help to ring in the season.

One thing I try to do in all of my winter decorating is try to make it look just as good in the day when lights are not on. The lights bring a whole new look to this display.

Notice how I used lights that look like snowballs to mimic the balls on the branches, this reads very well in the daylight.

 The large wreath has no bow on it,  but a assortment of silver baubles and red berries does he job nicely keeping in-tune with the color scheme here.

The urn in the back formal garden features tall silver and white sticks, the large c9 lights makes the arrangement glow from below at night. Large lights give off so much more light.

The arborvitae, Hydrangea's, and the gold Juniper balls frame this pot beautifully don't you agree?

This house and garden are dressed for the holidays and for the winter in whites and lights.

The garden just glows.
