Christmas Tree Decor
Shopping Guide
Before you start to decorate the tree you need to have ALL the goodies to make it look pretty! This is my design plan for this years tree! It’s great to have a general idea before you start shopping/decorating because once you’re at the store and it’s Christmas explosion in there it will be overwhelming!
Below I’ll share what I look for when shopping for Christmas tree decorations :-)
This year I’m leaning more towards a preppy blue and white Christmas instead of just the tradtional red and green I’ve been doing the last couple years. It’s fun to switch it up to keep things feeling fresh.
Shopping tips:
Get allllll different sizes of ornaments. Do not forget the LARGE ones. A lot of people skip that size but it realy helps to fill up the tree without it looking like there are a million little shiny balls all over it.
2. Think outside the “ornament” box! I like to find figurines, nutcrackers, christmas bells, signs etc that go with my color scheme. They look great nestled in the branches :-)
3. Florals- I like to grab Christmas floral or greenery stems to add to the tree. It gives the tree fullness without adding even more ornaments. It’s also a great way to help tie your tree into other parts of your house since you can use stems from your mantle or wreath decor. Pampas grass is having a minute right now and would be a great trendy additiont to any tree.
4. Ribbon- I like to add wide ribbon to my trees to give in an extra texture. It’s also another way to tie your tree into other Christmas decor because you can use it on when wrapping! Here’s some of my favorites
Stay tuned for how I use all these goodies to fill up my 3 Christmas trees :-)
