Marielle Santos-Po

The tree has been around since Marielle and her husband first got married. She wanted to skip the red and the gold and go for something modern looking, hence the green, white, and silver. She bought the accessories from the States and from Florasilk before the shop closed down. The singing and moving snowmen, she bought for her kids. She enthuses that they double as toys.

 

 

Ana Rocha

The all-white home of Ana makes for the ideal backdrop for the explosion of exuberant colors that define her Christmas tree.

Alex is very hands-on when it comes to decorating the family home—from conceptualizing, rummaging through their bodega for any recyclable items, and adding unique touches, like stuffed toys from Pottery Barn that infuse a classic theme with a whimsical feel.

 

 

Tina Lagdameo

The color scheme of the tree is silver, hold, and white, translated seamlessly from Lagdameo’s elegant table setting to the Christmas tree she bought from Neiman Marcus in New York.
