This particular lighting arrangement is made out of decorative string lights. Similar wire-lights can be found at your local hardware store. Find a glass vase or jar that you love, and add eclectic charm to your home.
Florescent lighting can ruin the intimate holiday mood, so unique alternative lighting sources like this add warmth and romance to your holiday space.

Notice the use of the mirror, reflecting the tree lights and adding an illusion of space to the room. Very cool!
