A Christmas tree is more than holiday decor; it is a portrait of one's family. From ornaments made by the children to heirloom toppers passed down from grandparents to garlands purchased on vacation, it feels like a curation of times together. Danielle and Kevin Jonas show us how to make the holiday even sweeter by using handmade ornaments from their wedding.

In 2022, Kevin took to Instagram to share a beautiful video of their Christmas tree idea, stating: '13 years later and our girls are hanging our wedding ornaments. [A] few amazing messages from family and friends at our wedding.'

The most important lesson from Danielle and Kevin's tree is that DIY sentimental decor doesn't need to be kitschy or over the top. They ground the more memory-focused pieces with white and clear ornaments over the top of a snow-covered tree for a cool, cohesive Christmas color palette. You can choose whatever looks aligns with your style.

Furthermore, decorating ornaments with friends and family doesn't have to be reserved for a wedding. You could host a crafty Christmas party to make DIY Christmas decor with friends and family, or have a painting night with your children. Years later, you can still have the memory of that special time featured proudly on your tree.


Ultimately, Christmas decor is about creating moments with loved ones, and DIY ornaments are a wonderful way to tap into this energy. When they can look this stylish, there's no reason not to.
