There’s nothing quite like the moment you bring home your Christmas tree. The scent, the sparkle, the tradition. At St Bridget, our fresh cut trees arrive from Saturday 29th November, and our team is here to help you find the one that suits your home perfectly.
And don’t forget to bring your £5 coupon, which you can use on any real tree.
Whether you’re choosing your very first tree or you have a long-standing family tradition, these simple steps will help you pick the perfect one.
Before you set off for St Bridget, take a moment to measure the spot where your tree will go.
Check both the height and width, and make sure you know the size of your stand too. A sturdy stand that fits your chosen tree properly makes the whole process much easier.
It’s tempting to fall in love with a huge tree, but a beautifully proportioned one that suits your room will always look more elegant than one squeezed into a corner.
The type of tree you choose makes a big difference to the overall feel of your Christmas décor.
Each has its own character, scent and appearance. If you are not sure which variety is right for your home, it is worth having a read before you visit.
When you arrive at St Bridget, you’ll find our Christmas Tree Shop laid out like a little forest.
All our 4 to 6 ft trees are displayed on pins after having a small hole drilled at the base. This lets you see each tree upright, exactly as it would look in your home.
Our team are always happy to help. We can lift and turn the trees so you can check the shape, symmetry and fullness from every angle. Once you have chosen your tree, we net it for you on site.
If you have received a £5 tree coupon, make sure to bring it with you when you visit.
You can use it on any real Christmas tree,
It’s a lovely way to make your tree even better value, and perfect timing if you have your eye on one of our larger trees. Simply present your coupon at the till and our team will apply the discount for you. Terms and Conditions apply.
We use biodegradable netting, which makes carrying your tree easier and protects the branches.
A helpful tip is to keep the tree in its netting while you position it in the stand. You’ll avoid being poked by branches and it makes straightening it much simpler.
Once the tree is secure, fill the water reservoir in your stand to help keep it fresh. Then cut the netting from the bottom upwards and allow the branches to gently fall into place.
A little care goes a long way when it comes to keeping your Christmas tree looking lovely.
– If you are not decorating it straight away, stand it outside in a bucket of water.
– Keep it away from radiators and fireplaces as they dry out the needles.
– Check the water daily. Trees can drink a surprising amount, especially in the first few days.
Once your tree is standing tall, it is time for the best part. Put on some festive music, gather your decorations, and enjoy the moment. Whether you prefer a traditional look or something more modern, your home will feel instantly more Christmassy.
