While snow and white are common seasonal motifs, we rarely use them to decorate a Christmas tree. However, Celine Dion is embracing this wintery aesthetic.

A photo on the power ballad singer’s Instagram reveals that her Christmas tree is a stunning celebration of white and silver. The elegant, simple tree is illuminated by white lights on a thin silver wire that gently cascades across its surface. White and silver ornaments are hung throughout, creating a striking impact. An elegant, layered, blooming flower adds maturity to the tree's design.

Beneath the tree, billows of silver and gray tulle undulate, forming a foggy, dreamy base. It’s a look that is both simple and sophisticated.

What makes this holiday aesthetic so successful? Largely, it’s its quiet luxury sensibility. The sparse decorating style allows the natural beauty of the fresh green branches to stand out. What Dion's design lacks in vibrant Christmas color, it makes up for in shape and texture, with the curves of the ribbons and baubles instantly captivating the eye. Furthermore, the snowy glow of the tree prevents it from feeling sterile. It is a look that is simultaneously elevated and extremely festive.

Luckily for fans of Dion’s quiet luxury Christmas decor idea, the winter wonderland theme is easy to replicate. Christmas decor expert Gisela Graham recommends: 'To achieve a proper winter wonderland feel, you'll need lots of twinkling lights, sparkling white and clear decorations, and the odd glimpse of ice blue.'

Moreover, this style is not confined to the tree. The magic of a winter wonderland can be equally beautiful when applied to holiday table decor. Graham states: 'Don't forget that decorations also look beautiful suspended above the dining table from a rustic branch or horizontally hung wreath.' These white and silver accents would be gorgeous layered over a crisp white or icy blue tablecloth, enhancing the overall festive atmosphere.
