Looking to buy garland--how much to wrap tree?
Is 6 ft enough for a standard tree? I think mine is 6 ft or less. Should I buy two sets? I'm looking to get this one, so do you think it should go from top to bottom, or is just one enough sparkle?

I actually love it!, Where is it from? As long as your tree ornaments match with it it would look great, I think if your tree have a lot of Gold then this would stick out too much.

Re: Looking to buy garland--how much to wrap tree?
That's really pretty - I would use that on the whole tree.
I found this buying guide online.
Again, you have to make sure that the garlands are distributed evenly throughout the tree. For each foot of tree (in height), you'll need about 9 feet of garland. Again, buy more than you need.
That would mean 9 strands if your tree is 6 feet tall - you could get less if your tree is not too wide or if it's in the corner or something and you aren't decorating that back.

Woah, that's a LOT! I think maybe I'll just get 2. Since it's kind of sparkly I can just make big spaces between the rows. It's not like the whole tree has to be covered. I just want it to go from the top to the bottom.

Crate and barrel. I'm placing an order for holiday decorations right now. I LOVE some of the stuff they have.

I agree. Are you going round the whole tree or just the side you can see?

The whole tree. But I just don't know if I"ll like the garland enough to get 9 strands. I ordered 2 and figured I can always order more after I see how the 2 look. My tree is not very fat at all. Here it is from last year:
