I'll be the first to admit that any Christmas decor involving fake snow was on my banned list. While I appreciate that it's festive, retro quirk can work in some homes, I never felt I could make it feel tasteful in my living room. Then I came across a 1957 photo of Elvis, and his snow-covered tree made me realise just how tasteful this can be.
The rock and roll legend is pictured in his Memphis home in front of a Christmas tree that's covered in faux white snow and dark, round ornaments. I've never understood the appeal of snow-flocked branches, but in his case, it feels vintage, tasteful, and surprisingly understated – something I never thought possible with a snow-flocked tree.
