Light Up the Night

Create a monochromatic display using simple white lights wherever you can place them. String lights along the fence (woven into fresh garland) and down the eaves. Dress a welcoming table with white pillar candles in hurricane vases.

Tip: When hanging garland along a fence, use string instead of wire, which can scratch the paint.
