Once the entire trunk is covered, you then start moving outwards to the branches using the zig-zagging method again. She intertwines them around the innermost branches of the tree to help keep them secure. Instead of walking around the tree, she moves left to right, concentrating only on the front of the tree that's on display.

Rather than wrapping her lights around the tree as we usually would, Kelly uses the zig-zag method. Quite often the decor will only be covered on the front - so the back doesn't touch at all.' Mary-Anne adds: 'If you examine any decoration closely you will notice a similar setup. You can create that professional look at home by following this method and opting for warm white lights to channel a classic Christmas look.' 'Doubling up on lights is what makes the tree look so premium. 'This method is used by florists to create Christmas installations,' explains Mary-Anne Da'marzo founder and head florist at The Last Bunch. This helps the lights to shine outwards, giving the tree the magical appearance of glowing. Once you've untangled the lights, Kelly instructs us to start at the base of our tree, pushing the lights right back to the trunk, rather than resting them on the tips of the branches.

You can find similar cluster lights on Amazon. She uses three sets of the warm white cluster lights from Woodies, each of which has 2,000 individual LEDs. To achieve the look, Kelly used three sets of 2000 cluster lights.
