A few design secrets from High Prairie include:

• Use a variety of light types—string lights, spotlights, and floodlights—at different heights and angles to enhance architectural features and landscaping such as trees, garden beds, and even outdoor structures like pergolas or fences. Wrap string lights around tree trunks or branches, and drape icicle lights along hedges for a natural, cascading effect. You can also add spotlights to showcase statues, fountains, or decorative garden features. Add vintage-style lanterns or Edison bulbs on patios or along walkways for a chic, timeless look.

• Bring your display to life with twinkling or animated lights that gradually brighten and dim, or go for motion lights to add dynamic energy to your outdoor space. Consider lights that simulate falling snow or twinkling stars, adding an enchanting, magical touch to your home’s exterior.

• Blend fresh greenery into your lighting setup. Wrap string lights around garlands made of pine, spruce, or cedar to create a seamless, natural display that softens the light and adds texture. Add in elements like berries, pinecones, or ornamental grasses for added depth.

• Use unique, oversized decorations like illuminated orbs, stars, or custom metal sculptures as focal points. These can be placed in your yard, hanging from trees, or displayed near the front entrance.

• Break away from the traditional red and green holiday palette by incorporating unexpected colors into your greenery arrangements. For a luxurious touch, try monochromatic white lights with touches of silver or gold to create a minimalist, modern feel. Alternatively, go bold with jewel tones for a rich, festive look. Use metallic or velvet ribbons, elegant ornaments, and custom-designed container arrangements to bring a sense of luxury and exclusivity to your fresh greens.

“At High Prairie Outdoors, our designs go beyond the ordinary to help our customers create their own unique illuminated life,” says Robyn.
