1. Start Small, Dream Big
Begin by selecting two or three key focal points, such as elegantly lit trees or bushes, to establish the foundation of your enchanting display. This approach allows you to create a charming atmosphere while leaving room for expansion in the following years. At St. Nick's, we encourage you to explore our magical lighted walkthrough display, a hidden gem that promises to elevate the wonder of your holiday décor.
2. Illuminate with Safety in Mind
Prioritize safety by exclusively choosing lights with the trusted UL label, explicitly designed for outdoor use. At St. Nick's, we understand the importance of reliable and secure lighting options, ensuring that your display is not only captivating but also safe for everyone to enjoy.
3. Match Lights to Your Vision
Delve into the extensive range of holiday lights available, each crafted to accentuate different corners of your space. Whether it's the enchanting glow of rope lights tracing windows or the cozy embrace of net lights draping bushes, knowing your options allows you to curate a display that truly dazzles.
4. Banish Burned-Out Bulbs
Before unveiling your masterpiece, meticulously test and replace any burned-out lights. This ensures that every bulb is at its radiant best, allowing your entire display to shine brilliantly.
5. Gentle Fastening for Lasting Memories
Opt for the delicate touch of electrical tape instead of potentially damaging alternatives like nails or staples. At St. Nick's, we've perfected the art of securing lights with clips that effortlessly preserve the beauty of your space, providing an elegant solution to every mounting need.
6. Safety First with a Sturdy Ladder
Enlist the assistance of a trusted helper when working on elevated spots. This not only guarantees your safety but also grants easy access to branches, ensuring that every inch of your display is thoughtfully illuminated. Secure lights with tree clips or twist ties for a display that remains enchanting and secure.
7. Illuminate from Base to Top
For deciduous trees, begin at the base and wrap lights in a gentle spiral motion, allowing the natural contours to guide your display. For evergreens, start at the top and let lights flow through the center, embracing the tree's innate grace. At St. Nick's, we understand the importance of letting nature's beauty shine through in every display.
8. Tailor Your Display to the View
Optimize your display by focusing on the front if your evergreen is primarily visible from one side. This strategic approach ensures that every angle captures the essence of holiday magic, creating a picture-perfect experience for all who pass by.
9. Add Depth with Ground Lighting
Elevate your display by incorporating ground and stake lighting for an extra touch of holiday enchantment. Multicolored lights delicately outline walks, paths, and driveways, transforming your space into a winter wonderland that captivates both day and night.
10. Balance Beauty with Circuits
While the allure of holiday lights is undeniable, it's crucial to balance your display with electrical safety. Limit your usage to 1,400 watts per circuit to prevent overloading. If you notice indoor lights dimming, it's a subtle reminder to adjust your outdoor display for a safe and mesmerizing experience.
Remember to turn off outdoor lights at bedtime and consider a timer with a photocell for added convenience when away from home. At St. Nick's, we're committed to making your holiday season truly extraordinary. Our team is here to assist you every step of the way, ensuring your display shines with festive brilliance.
