Thanks Darzy, perhaps that is the answer! I plan on placing a all white Cristmas tree in the corner of the diningroom so maybe I'll add white velvet fabric to the chain. I also have crystal snowflakes of various sizes so maybe I can incorporate them somehow.

A few well placed ornaments wouldn't hurt. Keep it simple. Maybe crystal or glass. Would be a great compliment to the antlers and feathers.

Just leave it, it's gorgeous!

Use decor on tables, not that beautiful chandelier.

Red green and white construction paper, ball them up and attached with wire and add some Christmas ornaments.

I agree, the light is beautiful--an ornament unto itself. Save the decorations for the dining table.

I guess it depends on how "blingy" you like to get for the holidays. I like to spread out my blingy decor to various areas rather than just in a couple of them.

I'd think if you like bling, you could buy some hanging crystals and maybe put one about an inch or two long hanging from the very bottom, and 3-4 maybe about 1/2 inch to an inch on the sides. When the light is on it would flash crystallized "bling" around the room and onto the table. I wouldn't go hog wild thought, it's lovely by itself.

You could wire the evergreen around the wire frame ,add ribbons and glass balls ,

I am putting a similar chandelier in my dining room. I think you treat it as if it is an ornament. I agree with the first comment. Ribbon the chain and be done.

This is the case when less is more :))))

Thank you, all, for your candid replies! I will definitely err on the side of less rather than more and I thank you for saving me time, and embarrassment!
