Twinkle in Texas: Your Guide to Holiday Lighting in Dallas

The saying; “everything’s bigger in Texas” holds true when you look at holiday lighting in the Lone Star state. In fact, Dallas boasts the largest indoor Christmas tree in the United States which stands at 95 feet tall in the Galleria Dallas mall. So, if you’re thinking of doing holiday lighting in Dallas, here are some tips, points of inspiration, and suggestions. 

Classic White Lights with a Dallas Twist

If you’re not sure what direction to take with your holiday lights, we always recommend a warm white to give you a classic, elegant look. Warm white lights on your Dallas property can help to bring out the unique architectural elements of your home, or accentuate your beautiful landscaping. For a southern twist on the classic warm white, you might consider adding willow strands to a tree. Willow strands are long clusters of lights that hang from the branches of trees evoking a whimsical, yet natural look.

Themed Displays

If classic warm white is a little too plain for your taste, perhaps you want to go with a more themed display. For our sports fans, you might go for a blue and white theme to show your support for the Dallas Cowboys. Or perhaps you want to represent the non-football variety of cowboys and incorporate some old-western elements into your design. Whatever feel you’re going for this year, lights can be a great way to bring any theme to life.

Big & Bold Garland

Beyond just lights, garland and wreaths are a wonderful way to show your festive spirit. With Dallas’ motto being “Live Large, Think Big” we think that with garland, more is more! In keeping with the go big or go home energy that Texas is known for, why not opt for a big ornate garland display? Garland is a great way to bring a festive vibe to your property, but even better than just garland; is garland absolutely decked out in ornaments. Decorated garland is the best way to really bling out your property for the season, and go all out!

Southern Live Oak Trees

One of the best ways to get inspiration for your holiday lighting is to look at the existing elements on your property. In Dallas, one of the most common trees you’ll see on residential properties is the Southern Live Oak. These large deciduous trees look incredible with lights, and can turn any ordinary property into a dazzling light display. Since they are large, they can be an investment to light up, so you could even consider lighting your Southern Live Oak on a year-round basis.
