While holding the chandelier near the ceiling, connect the white wire from the chandelier to the white neutral wire from the ceiling using a wire nut. Twist them together securely. Then, connect the black wire from the chandelier to the black hot wire from the ceiling, again using a wire nut and twisting firmly. Ensure the ground wire from the chandelier is connected to the bare copper or green ground wire from the ceiling. After all connections are made, push any excess wiring neatly back into the ceiling junction box. Align the chandelier's decorative base cover with the mounting bracket on the ceiling and secure it by tightening the two small nuts provided, often by hand.
