We all bought these viral branch trees last Christmas because they look so magical. But those basic stands just weren’t giving the designer look I wanted for this season. So this year I upgraded them by putting the cement bases inside modern planters and covering them with moss. Such a simple change that makes them feel more high end inside your home.
